At I. Gorman Jewelers, it is our goal to track down the world's most talented designers of fine jewelry, and the success with which we've achieved this goal is immediately apparent when you pass inside our gallery doors. Interestingly, when you work with such an innovative and dynamic group of designers, it becomes clear that good design is a skill that will not be restricted by the invisible boundaries of a single discipline, such as Jewelry or Furniture.
Several of our designers have taken a chance, trusting in their fine-tuned eye for the aesthetic, by testing the waters of other artistic disciplines--others have made a habit of it. Maeve Gillies, of Maevona, is one of these people, and boy, are we glad she has!
Best known for her beautiful bridal jewelry collections, featuring flowing, Celtic-inspired forms, made of 18kt gold, platinum and diamonds, she was recently commissioned to create a stunning commemorative bottle for one of the world's finest and most expensive liquors, Scotland's Highland Park 50 Year Old single malt whisky.
A classic Maevona bridal design, the Jura engagement ring highlights a single brilliant round diamond, set most gracefully in colorful 18kt yellow or rose gold, tastefully contrasted by its platinum shank. We are happy to offer a wide selection of Maevona designs. View more at the I. Gorman Jewelers website or Facebook page.
Highland Park 50 Year Old is the distillery’s oldest and most prestigious release. Only 275 bottles of this remarkable Limited Edition are available, each encased in Maeve Gillies' extraordinary silver "net-cage" design. It is a vatting of five casks distilled in 1960. Like all Highland Park, the 50 year old has been cask-harmonised, that is to say, refilled into casks upon reaching maturity in order to ensure perfect balance and consistency. To ensure the full impact of the rich, complex flavours that come from a lifetime of maturation, Highland Park 50 Year Old has been bottled at 44.8% abv.
Inspired by the elemental forces of Orkney, each bottle is hand-crafted from sterling silver and designed by Maeve Gillies, an internationally-renowned designer of engagement rings and bridal jewellery based in New York. Maeve is also a ‘Global Scot’, a business ambassador for Scotland. Her design for Highland Park 50 Year Old celebrates Orkney; in particular the influence of the sea, wild weather and the passage of time.
