  • The Barney Bubbles Jewellery Shop is good to go!

    We’re really pleased to announce that after months of tests and tweaking we’re launching the Barney Bubbles Jewellery range!

    Click on the image above to check out the Barney Bubbles Jewellery Shop featuring the exciting launch collection consisting of a baker’s dozen of pieces including badges, brooches, pendants and earrings.

    These are based on the design maestro’s stunning artworks for a range of artists from space rock through punk and new wave, including Dr Feelgood, Elvis Costello & The Attractions, Nick Lowe, Hawkwind, Johnny Moped, John Cooper Clarke, Ian Dury & The Blockheads and Rockpile.

    We’ll be featuring the stories behind individual pieces here over the coming weeks, with insights into the origination of each design and the ways in which it has been realised in 3D.

    Prices range between £25 and £120 for the Barney Bubbles jewellery collection, which is shipping worldwide and is a collaboration between the Barney Bubbles Estate and sculptor/jeweller Blaine Hurdle.
