Rebecca is the designer and maker behind all things Smith & Gibb jewellery. From a young age she has been a magpie for colourful and playful jewellery. Having experimented with various jewellery techniques through studying at Cardonald College, Glasgow, and further onto obtaining her degree in jewellery design at Duncan of Jordanstone Art School, in Dundee; Rebecca found a love for enamelling.

Rebecca has self taught a lot of her enamelling skills through experimentation and really loves teaching this technique.

“The jewellery that I love to make are pieces that express the wearer. Jewellery is very personal and can say a lot about the person wearing it. My designs are part of my own personality and through colour, movement and form I love to experiment with new ideas. A lot of my designs start from inspiration I have from travel, architecture and nature. I love working with materials I have to design and it happens very organically through playing with different components and compositions. I use recycled silver, enamel, copper and occasionally gold too. Every item is made to order and handcrafted at my home studio in the Southside of Glasgow.

It is very important to me that the pieces I make are made to last and that can be passed down generations. Each piece is designed to be cherished for years to come, whether it’s a simple everyday staple or a one-of-a-kind statement piece.
