Welcome
| Welcome to Gail's acrylic jewellery web site.
It is being updated now to show an updated stockist
list, up to date exhibition information
and new catalogue pages.
There are a number of new stockists in various parts of the country
and several more in the pipeline. Your support for the shops and
galleries is always appreciated. I will be adding Google Earth
placemarks to help you find them more easily.
If you know of any galleries and shops in your area which you think
might suit my work, please drop me a line and I will contact them.
New jewellery designs and colourways will be added to the Catalogue and Galleries from time
to time, so do bookmark the site and visit again to see the latest work.
You can send Gail comments from the Mailing List Page.

About Gail
|
Gail grew up in Manchester and trained there in Wood, Metal and
Ceramics before awarded an RCA bursary to take her MA in Jewellery and Silversmithing at the
Royal College of Art in London where she won the Bakri Yehia Prize
for Excellence in 1983, and in 1995 she won the first prize in the
Merseyside Craft Competition.
She now lives in North-West London and specialises in acrylic jewellery and has attracted a large and enthusiastic
following, not just in the UK but in many overseas countries too.
She has exhibited at major exhibitions including the Chelsea Crafts
Fair, Dazzle, Country Living, and Spirit of Christmas, and her work is stocked in
many contemporary jewellery shops, galleries and museums in the UK. Gail's designs have been featured in the national and
international press and on TV including a 30 minute Japanese documentary about her work and lifestyle. Her work
is found in both national and private collections and has been listed in the contemporary section of
Judith Miller's Collectables Guide. |

About the Jewellery
| This
innovative jewellery has evolved by continuous experimentation with modern
acrylic materials.
The pattern and drawing refract dense colour with metallic gold and silver
undertones across smooth and sculpted surfaces. These interact with the
organic curvature and geometry of the highly polished optical-quality
acrylic shapes creating shimmering, ever changing iridescence. Though bold,
the jewellery is designed to adorn and flatter the wearer and is suitable with either
casual or formal clothing and is comfortable and
easy to wear for both everyday and special occasions. Like the Bakelite jewellery
of the 1930's, these elegant and striking designs will become the classics of tomorrow. |
