BARSE STERLING SILVER TO OPEN
IN SUNDANCE SQUARE

FORT WORTH, TEXAS (March 20, 2009) - “Barse Sterling Silver is a unique retailer that draws a client base reflective of Sundance Square’s visitors,” stated Johnny Campbell, president and CEO of Sundance Square. “Their fine quality jewelry will have great appeal to our residents, employees working in Sundance and visitors.”

More than 20 years ago, Fort Worth native Melanie Barse Gobril created a design house to honor the heritage of her great uncle, renowned artist George Randolph Barse. Today, Barse can be found in major department stores throughout the United States and internationally, as well as their first retail store located in Southlake Town Square.

Barse established itself as an expert in the use of genuine stones with the trend of American southwestern influenced jewelry. Today, Barse’s leadership in women’s bridge jewelry is defined by the company’s uncommon use of semi-precious stones, especially turquoise. The company targets women who desire to own distinctive sterling jewelry.

“I’m so excited to be back in the heart of my hometown with a store that can showcase my best designs,” said Melanie Gobril, Barse Sterling Silver co-founder. “Sundance Square is such a vibrant location. It’s a perfect match for Barse.”
