Christmas Shopping – Buy Something That is Actually Unique

Anyone who has ever tried giving a ‘different’ gift for Christmas will know the difficulties in finding such a thing. There are always plenty of options when looking for gifts for women due to the kind of variety and range available in the market. But how about avoiding those over crowded, over scented perfume halls, and choose something that you know she would never have thought of buying for herself.

A sculpture, an original painting, or jewellery that won’t be found in every single high street shop!

Brazilian jeweller Patricia Segrillo weaves pure 999 Brazilian Silver into the most amazing design of jewellery, with Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom amongst her collectors. Her truly unique and highly stylish jewellery is exclusive to Scotland through Artery Gallery.

Lora Leedham has taken part in a series of events and her jewellery has featured in UK and international magazines, as well as making TV appearances – one of which was worn by Camilla Parker Bowles, on live television; she has worked with fashion designers, created jewellery for charity events, exhibited at London Fashion Week, created jewellery for catwalks and has created jewellery for a number of celebrities.

The jewellery has a very feminine, fresh, organic and romantic style to it and the designs portray an emphasis on texture. Lora uses her hobby of photographing nature as a source for her inspiration. She particularly looks at the organic forms and textures of nature.

Quality and design are the two key features in Lora Leedham’s work and by incorporating an artistic element with high end materials, such as metals and Venetian glass; each piece is a luxurious accessory to compliment any outfit and make the wearer feel truly special.

Angel Neal’s jewellery collection first launched in the US with great success, before she moved back to her roots in Scotland. Her work is now sold across the world. Angel also undertakes commission work for special occasions and bridal jewellery. Notable commissions include jewellery designed for Mary Kay in the US, and celebrities in the UK, as well as featuring in many high society magazines.

Scottish figurative sculptor Ronna Elliott creates beautifully crafted female figures incorporate her own take on ladies of leisure. The titles say it all, with ‘Ladies in Waiting’, ‘Pandora’s Box’, ‘Retail Therapy’ and ‘Ladies Who Lunch’. Each figure is embellished with their own marks and patterns which are not only decorative but also symbolise metaphorical fingerprints of people who have touched us in some way, often unknowingly.

Ronna graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2000 and shortly after set up her own studio in Hamilton. She has sold out on numerous occasions whilst exhibiting through Artery Gallery.

For men, the choices are a bit more limited out there. Do men honestly appreciate the novelty socks, Homer Simpson beer holders, and remote control toys that break before New Years day!? And how many times can you gift someone golf clubs, aftershave, a watch or a leather wallet?

Men love alternative gifts, things that no one else will have and that they can proudly show off. Handmade steel mantle clocks by Yorkshire artist Tim Fowler, molten steel figurative sculptures by Scotland’s John McPhail, intriguing ceramic face wall plaques from Crete, amazing ‘Fantasy Boat’ sculptures by Mark Smith and so much more.

Make a statement with original, affordable artworks that can be treasured for years and years. A gift that will go down an absolute treat! Artery Gallery, based in St Andrews and Crieff, Scotland, have an eclectic mix to suit all tastes in art.
