To try on a piece of Daniel Gibbings’ jewelry is to discover a treasure unearthed. His jewelry evokes the richness and opulence of Byzantine cultures and Medieval worlds and conjures up the look and feel of an ancient archeological find. Crafted in high karat gold, platinum and silver, his designs are distinguished by ancient coins, rare gemstones and thick, hand-wrought chains. Hand engraving and textured surfaces leave the metal as close as possible to its natural state. He remains true to his vision of creating luxury items that are everyday wearable and complement an evening gown as well as a favorite pair of jeans.

Daniel’s creative process evolves from a variety of influences. His childhood in the seaside town of Durban, South Africa where he was surrounded by tribal art and culture, first nurtured his passion for primitive design. After leaving Africa at age 20, he studied jewelry and explored the metalwork of ancient civilizations while training at the Jaffa School of Art in Israel. From there he moved to England, studied at the Sir John Cass Faculty of Art and earned a membership into the City & Guilds of London. Daniel’s extensive travels to places exotic and off the beaten path are also a constant muse. From India, Burma and Sri Lanka to Israel, Egypt and Europe to Thailand and Namibia - he feeds his passion for global art, history and culture as he hunts for unique gems, intaglios, bits of antiquity and new adventure.

Today, working from his studio, Daniel creates unique designs that infuse old world and traditional technique with his own aesthetic. His inspired works continue to earn the attention of his industry and a loyal following of clients, collectors and celebrities around the world.
