Gary Barnes

Gary studied jewellery at Stellenbosch University under master jeweller Dieter Dill, and thereafter worked for a few select jewellers, honing traditional and contemporary techniques, before starting his own collections.

I have been very fortunate in the people I have studied and worked with. All have shared their technical knowledge and design inspirations freely. Jewellery is an emotional statement by the wearer, showing who they are, what ‘tribe’ they belong to, and what they value. So the pieces need to match the wearer’s aesthetic, mean something to them, and be technically well constructed so that they can withstand wear and tear of day to day use, and get enjoyed for many years, possibly many generations. What I love most is when someone tells me they like to wear my piece every day.

‘Orbits’ collection was originally inspired by our galaxy – moons circling planets, planets orbiting suns, gravitational pulls which hold things together, often elliptically, but with a symmetry and rules that govern their nature. I’ve tried to capture this with clean, elegant lines and cantilevered placement of the stones and the interdependencies of gravitational pull by constructing pieces that can be worn on their own, or fit into each other.
