It was on the beaches of Montauk where Barbara Campbell first became inspired to design jewelry. Stepping

across the sand, she discovered the perfect rock and wrapped it in wire—creating her very first piece, which

the world came to know and love as her signature "Lucky Six" necklace.

Campbell is a visionary Cuban-American woman from Washington Heights who studied fashion at FIT and

went on to enjoy a decade-long career in the beauty industry. Her stylistic sense comes through in her jewelry

line Barbara Campbell Accessories ©, founded in 2006.

Splitting her time between Park Slope and The Hamptons, Campbell designs her collections with an eye for

urban chic and a feel for nature. Each of her pieces is hand-constructed from high-grade materials in her

Brooklyn studio. Accompanying Campbell's commitment to exceptional quality is her dedication to the

practice of greenmanship, which is why she works with only the finest recycled materials.

Campbell's designs have been described as "clean and contemporary," architecturally and naturally inspired,"

and evoking "more art than ornamentation." Yet the designer's message remains simple and elegant. She says

with a smile, "You have to put meaning into your creations to make them special. That's what I do—I create

from the heart and bring a feeling of love to my collections."
