18ct Gold & Diamond Ring by Gilian Packard in the Original Case

805U/PR
Written by Olly Gerrish

A pretty 18ct ring that were designed and made by Gilian E Packard in thev 1960s. It is composed of a claw set 70 point bright white diamond and rods of 18ct yellow and white gold that have been set with small diamonds.

Gilian Packard was one of the ground breaking jewellery designers at the vanguard of redefining jewellery design during the 1960s following the post-war austerity years of the mid-20th century. Packard contributed to the exhibitions at the now famous 1961 International Exhibition of Modern Jewellery 1980-1961, curated by Graham Hughes and the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, in Goldsmiths Hall London, while still a student. The exhibition set out to promote new design in what had become a rather stagnant industry, creating pieces of modern design for the modern world.

Born in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne in 1938 she studied at Kingston School of Art, Central School of Arts and Crafts and the Royal College of Art. Rather than setting up her own shop in London she chose to disseminate her pieces to jewellers throughout the UK, preferring the broader reach this gave her jewellery; and working to specific commissions for loyal clients. Though she had a workshop of craftspeople, she kept a keen eye on everything and had a hand in the process throughout. The Victoria and Albert museum has two pieces by her in its collection.

This ring exemplifies her talent. It is signed and comes in it’s original case.
