I am a fan, but I know what you mean... it is fine art and that always is a matter of personal taste.

I'm not a fan, but I do like the TSV today.  Too expensive, however.

I'm a big fan and collector of her Skull Collection. Flowers don't thrill me (unless skulls are involved, lol).

I absolutely think the Barbara Bixby jewelry is the most beautiful jewelry I have ever seen.

I am just in awe when I look at her pieces & I would love to have even 1 piece. I just am too plain to have such beautiful jewelry. 

I do look a lot & one day I feel like I will find something that I can justify buying, but I haven't found it, yet. 

I remember taking my daughter to buy her wedding dress 9 years, ago, & the woman that was helping us was wearing a Barbara Bixby ring & she looked great with it on.

Have all the flower rings except the white topaz, and her skull ring all are stunning.  I ordered the white topaz and the citrine keys.

You definitely can recognize that it is BB.  I am not a big jewelry person, that is, I only wear rings usually two everyday but change off.  I also wear one of my Swiss Army watches.  Earrings every now & then.  Come to think of it, I need to get out my bracelets by Michael Dawkins (really miss his jewelry).  HeartCat Happy

her jewelry shows an artist at work. she doesn't just take something like a flower or fleur de lis and copy and re-copy it to every piece she makes. She is inspired, uses nature often as her inspiration and also many symbols like an ankh, a ganesh, things that I, too, find inspiration in. Her work is truly stunning and one of a kind. 

 

It should be expensive. It is not stamped out in a factory and I'm willing to pay for uniqueness.

I have never liked "busy" jewelry.
