Gina Melosi

Award-winning designer Gina Melosi creates conceptual, fashion-forward jewellery with a sensitivity toward sourcing materials from fair-trade suppliers. Gina’s designs often tread a thin line between delicate and slightly dangerous, bold yet highly wearable, playing with contrasts of form, texture, color, and meaning which culminate in exquisite objects of adornment. Raised in Texas, but based in London, Gina founded her own label after graduating from London Metropolitan University with an MA in Jewellery Design.

With her intellectual approach to jewellery design, her debut collection ‘SHATTERED fragments’ crystallized from an interest in body modification practices and creating jewellery from shards of broken glass. The collection is cast in 100% recycled Sterling Silver and retains the contrasts between fragility and roughness inherent in glass fragments. Pavé-set with fair-trade Royal Kings Plain Sapphire®, a rare rich blue sapphire mined in the Australian state of New South Wales. The stones follow the fault lines in the glass shards and are set in a stylized way which adds to the pieces’ edgy yet luxurious allure.
