A Moment Captured with Jewelry

By Lexi Holian | Wednesday, October 7, 2020

Amid the changing tides of the Outer Banks, award-winning designer Gail Kowalski is inspired by the movement and fluidity of the sea. Her handmade jewelry is marked by asymmetry and a motion that you can feel as you look upon the wearable art.

Since 1977 Jewelry by Gail has been bringing one-of-a-kind designs to the Outer Banks. Colorless and natural-color diamonds, luminous pearls, gemstones and exotic minerals are set in gold, platinum and Argentium silver with a precision and style that has taken Gail’s designs all the way to the red carpet at the Academy Awards. For Gail, each piece of jewelry is special and incomplete until the right person is wearing it. Jewelry can reflect life’s changes, which is why this year she has chosen to partner with two distinctive bridal and engagement designers, Daviani and Ostbye. While many rings today feature metals that aren’t easily maintained and smaller stones that can drop out over time, these companies both have exquisite metals and methods for setting stones of all sizes. Like Gail’s own rare designs, the result is truly special jewelry that can withstand time and capture memories.

Whether you’re shopping for an engagement or placing a custom order for the holidays, remember that Jewelry by Gail also has an exceptional reputation for repairs and appraisals.
