See Solvang designer James Cleland’s jewelry in the Santa Barbara Museum of Art/Museum Store Trunk Show from noon to 5 p.m. on June 11 at 1130 State St. in Santa Barbara.
With a background in biosciences and geology, Cleland pays particular attention to the construction and support of the pieces he designs. He gives equal design attention to the reverse of each pendant, pin, or bracelet. While not necessarily reversible, the pieces allow their owners to consider the back design to be their personal “secret.”
