The designer prides herself on the reasonable price level of even her most exclusive designs. What makes Gabriel jewelry unique is the use of heavily gold plated elements that have the look and feel of fine jewelry without high cost or worries about security. These original copyrighted elements interpret motifs from ancient cultures while simultaneously taking advantage of modem technology and metallurgy. The initial line of Gabriel jewelry was based on symbols from Aztec Mexico. Subsequent lines interpret motifs of ancient civilizations in Crete, Celtic Britain, Sumer, and China.
All designs are the result of painstaking research.
This is my effort to recapture and preserve the spirit of lost ages, and to educate others about the meaning of symbols sacred to cultures foreign to our own. As the world becomes a global village, we need to learn to understand and respect differences rather than ignore and fear them. Jewelry has always been a portable object with meaning - a form of communication that transcends language. In recognition of the authenticity and the careful research that goes into Gabriel designs, Gabriel jewelry is featured in the sales shops of many leading museums. In addition to her work as an entrepreneur, Seymour is a former Board Member of the American Society of Jewelry Historians and collector of indigenous folk jewelry.
