NOTE: Jose and Maria Barrera started their business in the early 1980's. They moved to New York City from South Texas after destiny brought a NYC actress to the University of Texas where she spotted José's first jewelry piece, which was on display at a student exhibition and she decided she had to have it. She met the couple and purchased the necklace. Returning to NYC she wore the necklace to a party where it was seen by Alexander Leiberman of Vogue who then asked to use it in a photoshoot. "The necklace" inspired Diana Vreeland to commission the iconic photograph by Irving Penn on Marisa Berenson in Vogue's 1970 April issue. This began their aspirations to move and start their lives in NYC where they raised three daughters, Larisa, Mariel, and Alicia, and slowly grew their jewelry business. Jose Maria Barrera's jewelry is quite popular and highly collectible today!
