MORE ABOUT THE DESIGNER: Laurel Burch was an iconic American artist whose fanciful jewelry designs have been much loved for 40 years and are now retired. She was known for her abstract and creative designs during the Pop-Art era of the 1960’s and 1970’s. in San Francisco. And continued through the 1990s She was a stay at home mom, who developed her business out of her garage so she could spend time with her children. That little cottage industry grew into a fabulous jewelry and art business, and the artists popularity increased by leaps and bounds. Today we find Clothing, Jewelry, Textiles, Ceramics, and other pieces of her marvelous eye for color, shape, and beauty in nature. After 1980, Laurel's Jewelry, with Copyrights, were being produced in Taiwan for the Taiwaneese unique process of Cloisonné. Laurel traveled there to study and learn the process. (There basically are 3-Types of Jewelry Cloisonné: Opaque, Translucent & Matte. Opaque is rich & solid. Translucent lets the Light shine through, giving the piece depth and picks up colors you are wearing. Matte Cloisonne is softer and not shiny.) After some copyright infringements were settled on ten designs, with her original Taiwanese Partners, All LB gold plated cloisonné jewelry was then put under stringent quality control and exporting procedures in the United States. There are still some pieces of "cloned" cloisonné Laurel Burch out there. But the company tried to buy as much as possible of the unauthorized pieces back to take them off of the market. Laurel Burch died on September 13, 2007, aged 61, at her home in Novato, California, from complications of osteopetrosis, a rare and painful bone disease. She had suffered from this her entire life, enduring more than 100 bone fractures and many surgeries as a result. Her amazing gift and love for life and beauty, shines on in all her pieces of jewelry which are currently in high demand and very collectible. Their prices are expected to continue to rise. That magical mystical jewelry art is sought after today by collectors and admirers just like you and I. Now is the time to purchase your favorite piece as it continues to increase in value. If you have never owned or worn Laurel Burch jewelry, you will love it for its exotic charm, whimsy, and hand finishing. Seasoned Laurel Burch fans will treasure having any piece or pair for your own. Sometimes, my purchases never make it to my store and my personal jewelry box is full of her love for life!
