THE DESIGN OF EXCELLANCE COLLECTION IS COMING TO HITCHIN

W.B. Gatwards of Hitchin are pleased and honoured to be hosting the Designs of Excellence jewellery collections. This collection is touring the UK showcasing the latest jewellery trends and top designing talent.

This year’s winner was William Cheshire. He designs and makes jewellery for women and men. Working from his Hatton Garden studio all the pieces are made in-house following a creative, design path from start to finish. His inspirations come from the diverse polarization of the classical, to the freethinking ethos of punk/pop culture. This mix gives the work an exciting and original feel, creating jewellery with diverse and enigmatic themes.

Notable runners up in Sarah Ho, last year’s winner and Babette Wasserman another contender from last year’s competition. These stunning handcrafted designs, by some of the UK brightest young talents, will be at Gatwards until 5th May.
