5 /5 Bryan Sykes: I was looking for a unique necklace for my birthday, and I saw one I really liked on Barbara Parkers website. I flew to Houston, Texas to meet her, and she was absolutely FANTASTIC! I have purchased jewelry all over the world, but working with Barbara Parker was the absolute BEST experience Ive ever had! Not only did she manage to have a custom-made Tahitian black pearl, double-diamond link in white gold necklace created in Southeast Asia, but she was able to have the necklace completed and shipped to me within 5-6 weeks before my birthday!! She and her staff were great throughout the process, and Ive found my jeweler for all future purchases.
