Gill Mallett

Gill Mallett is a designer jeweller who established her business - Gillery - in 1979. Her unique pieces of jewellery use precious metals - gold, silver, platinum and palladium - and high quality gemstones.

She is a founder member of the ACJ (Association for Contemporary Jewellery) and, with her studio in Dorset, is an active member of the Wessex regional group. Gill is also a member of the BJA (British Jewellers' Association) and the GoJD (Guild of Jewellery Designers).

Inspiration & techniques

Gill enjoys experimenting with materials and techniques and is fascinated and inspired by unexpected results. She says "Surprise outcomes allow me to look at my creations from a different perspective and can lead to new and interesting contrasts, textures and juxtapositions. 'How did that happen?' resulted in my Snow Cast and Fire & Ice collections".  Snow Cast is the result of dropping molten metal into compressed (natural) snow; often precious or semi precious gemstones are added. Fire & Ice combines asymmetric shapes whose edges have been melted by heat (fire) with further pieces resulting from dropping molten metal into ice (ice); precious gemstones are then added to give accent to the piece. Each piece is an individual work of art, a contemporary classic which has the potential to achieve the status of an heirloom. Her innovative work is in private collections worldwide.

Although Snow Cast and Fire & Ice are her principal collections, Gill's continuous experimentation results in a variety of other creative concepts which often extend beyond jewellery into other silver objects. Please explore Gill's creativity and variety on her Shop pages.
