The Full Story
About
Jewelry has always been more than adornment—it’s a way to tell a story, capture a moment, and carry meaning.
Silver Cloud Designs is the creative expression of Barb Amador, a Lafayette, Colorado– based metalsmith who creates handcrafted sterling silver jewelry inspired by a lifelong love of beautiful, wearable art.
From an early age, Barb was drawn to jewelry in all its forms. Although work and family responsibilities came first for many years, her passion never faded. She continued to create simple pieces for family and friends, quietly nurturing her dream.
After retiring, Barb fully embraced her calling and studied metalsmithing in Denver, progressing from beginner through advanced and specialized technique classes to refine her skills and artistic voice.
In 2010, she founded Silver Cloud Designs, sharing her work through vendor shows alongside her husband. Today, while the heavy lifting of show setups is behind her, the joy of creating remains. Barb now focuses on her website and her work at Particulars Gallery and Teaching Studio in Lafayette, Colorado.
She also welcomes requests for custom sterling silver designs, crafting one-of-a-kind pieces made with care, intention, and a love for the art of metalsmithing. Contact Barb to create your dream necklace, bracelet, earrings or custom piece.
It's all in the thoughtful details
What Makes Silver Cloud Designs Stand Out...
I work with Sterling Silver. We also carefully select natural gemstones choosing each one for it's uniqueness and beauty to create our one of a kind designs.
I know how important the little details are - From providing fast and free reliable shipping to offering customization options, we work hard to make sure every purchase is an enjoyable experience. From adjusting the length of a necklace or bracelet to swapping your ear wires from french hooks to lever backs or even clip ons. I want your jewelry to fit perfectly and suit your style.With every purchase we include thoughtful extras like a gift box, anti tarnish tags, care instructions, and a polishing square.
It's these small touches I hope make your experience with SCD truly special
