Victoria Sewart Contemporary Jewellery Gallery, Plymouth
The Victoria Sewart Contemporary Jewellery Gallery, established in 2006, holds a distinctive place in Plymouth as the city's first contemporary jewelry gallery. Nestled in Plymouth’s historic Barbican area, among cobbled streets and artisanal shops, this gallery offers an innovative approach to jewelry. It showcases a striking range of pieces, crafted from traditional materials like precious metals and stones, as well as unconventional ones like acrylic, aluminum, recycled materials, and even feathers.
Founder and designer Victoria Stewart, who trained at the prestigious School of Jewellery in Birmingham, launched this gallery to bring her sculptural and fine art-inspired jewelry designs to a wider audience. With over 30 years of experience in jewelry design and a Master’s degree completed in 2005, her work reflects a shift towards more conceptual artistry. The gallery doesn’t merely represent her work; it also features pieces from the finest British designers, many from the South West, who share her commitment to creativity and craftsmanship.
Victoria’s gallery is unlike conventional jewelers. Collections are produced in limited batches or as unique one-off designs, ensuring that each piece carries a distinct character. Customers who seek personalized jewelry can work directly with the gallery to customize pieces or, for a truly hands-on experience, attend one of the popular jewelry-making workshops in the upstairs studio. From unique necklaces to custom wedding rings, Victoria Sewart Contemporary Jewellery Gallery is a haven for those who appreciate original, thoughtfully crafted jewelry that goes beyond the high street.
