Atelier Gilmar

This summer, Gill and Alan decided to go in search of inspiration for their new Autumn collections, and where better to go than Venice; a wonderful city brimming over with art and architecture. So in July they packed their panniers and cycled the “Venetian Way” to Venice via Innsbruck and the Italian Dolomites.

Venice is a truly original city, a vision of light reflecting on water, and it quickly became obvious that this effect, together with the unique architecture, was going to fuel the source of their creativity.

While exploring the remarkable Venetian Palaces Gill and Alan discovered similarities in the way they construct their work and the way Venice was originally built. Their pieces, like great architecture, are created from the ground up with a good foundation of design and craftsmanship. So begins the idea. Bringing together the combination of pure light reflecting the colours of pink Italian Marble, the seeds of the “Beautiful Light ” (Bella Luce) ring collection were sown.

Many of the items the Goldsmiths design and make are created in a similar fashion, beginning with a spark of an idea, which is often a fusion of input between themselves and their client producing a dream piece to suit every given occasion, whether it be engagement, wedding, birthday, or anniversary, or simply because it’s the piece of jewellery they have always desired.
