GSM&J’s attitude has shifted from a purely object-based focus to a wider scope, questioning and exploring issues centred on the human condition. We are responsive to the rapidly changing social and cultural landscape, and draw on history and technology in nurturing intellectual and creative skills directed at understanding and pushing forward jewellery and ‘objects of human making’.*

As applied artists, being in control of the making process either by using our hands or through digital technologies is very important; it is our way of making sense of the world. As individuals we are fascinated with the rich and diverse materials and resources the world has to offer, and through the individuality of our personal visions we make our contribution to the bigger picture.


We believe that a work embodying a well-constructed or well-argued thought is as valuable as the most perfect diamond.
