Darte Jewellery is a contemporary jewellery brand, designed and handmade by myself, Gemma, from my garden studio on Glasgow’s Southside. Founded in 2016, I use traditional silversmithing techniques such as hand forming and shaping, creating beautiful and one-off textures, as well as lost wax casting as part of the process in creating each individual piece. The design inspiration ranges from understated minimalism to bold, playful and tactile, but all endeavour to encapsulate a timeless appeal and a consideration for everyday wear, always with quality at the forefront.
Before turning my hand to jewellery, I graduated from the Glasgow School of Art with a degree in Textiles, working for several years in commercial jobs as a designer in the homeware industry before embarking on an evening class in silversmithing and discovering my passion for jewellery making.
By using recycled gold and silver and sustainable packaging for a minimal environmental impact, Darte Jewellery is perfect for those who try to lead a more environmentally-aware lifestyle.
When I’m not making jewellery, I’m running around after our two little girls who like to keep me on my toes!
