Necklaces

McClelland Barclay necklaces were made by Rice-Weiner & Co. of Providence, RI between 1938 - 1943 and are highly collectible.

Different looks: In this vintage necklace collection, find Art Deco designs with flora and fauna motifs in sterling silver, such as this heart and flower necklace (shown). Art Moderne styles have a very different look. Many of these vintage necklace designs have complimentary bracelets, brooches, earrings and rings.

The McClelland Barclay necklace that started it all: One stunning necklace first caught my attention in a book, and so began my journey of collecting McClelland Barclay costume jewellery. Along the way learning much more about the jewellery, revelations about the maker and this artist, I found his remarkable story had never been told ...and that lead me to write the first ever biography of him, McClelland Barclay: Painter of Beautiful Women and More.
