About our SPICE Collection
Exotic, aromatic and vividly colourful, spices exude life.
From the fiery power of cayenne to the soothing powers of ginger and the inherent healing natures of mustard, spices bring life to any surrounding, even the seemingly lifeless.
Gill Birol, an award winning artist, is capturing the power of natural spices in her art.
Spice It Up!, Gill's brilliantly bold and powerfully creative line of jewellery incorporates the deep, vivid colours and natural textures.
Spices such as cayenne, ginger and mustard are blended into a collection of necklaces, earrings and rings, enwreathed with sterling silver and semiprecious gems.
The result is an intense, vibrant collection of jewellery as dramatic and mysterious as the spices themselves. Her work is a brilliantly powerful display of shades, colours and lines. The pieces incorporate an urban style with the exotic influences of the spices throughout their design.
Gill is inspired by the use of alternate materials in her art, as well as the rich, physical splendor of her native Turkey. Her utilization of spices in her jewellery conveys her passion for fusing art and natural beauty.
The magnificence of the Spice It Up! Collection lies not only in the pulsating colours, but also in its dramatic combination of lines, forms and textures found in the jewellery's unique and enchanting appearance.
The Spice It Up! Collection is a result of Gill's commitment to constantly pushing creative boundaries,. She incorporates non-traditional methods, materials and designs into her art.
All pieces in the Spice It Up! Collection are of Gill's own design and production. They are representative of an artist who has honed her craft across three continents over ten years.
The magical influence of her time in various countries around the globe is evident in the collection's worldly feel and natural beauty.
Uninhibited and without manufactured design, the Spice It Up! Collection exemplifies the inherent power in the combination of free expression and an artist's abandonment of creative obstacles or rules.
