Cornwall LivingIssue #132

A wealth of talent

Established in 2006, this unique jewellery gallery stands apart from the crowd, exhibiting extraordinary work from over fifty British designers.

From engagement rings to wedding necklaces, the occasional to the ground-breaking, there will be a piece of jewellery for the discerning buyer who is looking for something that cuts away from the ordinary at the Victoria Sewart Contemporary Jewellery Gallery.

This year their regular Ringing the Changes exhibition, running from 25th March for three months, is set to feature some incredible work, with everything from the modern via traditional and sculptural rings, to pieces containing precious stones, art pieces and much, much more. Showcasing the work of six designers, all carefully chosen to form a snug fit with the prevailing spirit of the gallery created by Victoria, you’ll be in for a treat. Here’s a little synopsis as to what you can expect to find:

Corinne Evans

In her studio on the edge of Dartmoor, Corinne creates stunning intricate jewellery using the heritage technique of fine flat chain mail, fashioning luxurious and elegant contemporary jewellery.

Maya Selway

A regular exhibitor at Goldsmith’s Fair in London, each of her rings is hand made at her studio, created to be worn every day for a lifetime and destined to become one of your most loved treasures.

Sian Evans

A goldsmith from Dorset, Sian is inspired by archaeology, fashion, and geology. Her rings are made using ancient jewellery making and casting techniques.

Shakti Ellenwood

Inspired by Native American Indian jewellery, Shakti uses stamped patterns to create unique textures on her fair-trade gold rings; talismans made with love and blessed with healing mantras – a prayer captured in gold!

Cadby & Co

A small family run business in north Cornwall specialising in old cut diamonds and fine gemstones – soft and tactile, simple and elegant, reminiscent of jewellery from ancient times
re-imagined in modern design.

Tamara Gomez

A contestant on ‘All That Glitters’ Tamara Gomez hand crafts fine jewellery that celebrates natural beauty and individuality from her London studio. Rough cut diamonds are a common feature in her rings, celebrating the beauty of the uncut stone.

We think it all sounds very exciting and are looking forward to heading there in March! But, in the very unlikely event of not being able to find what you’re looking for, then you can book a jewellery workshop course. With over 20 years of teaching experience under her belt, Victoria will guide you through each step of the process, giving you the skills to handcraft your very own ring.
