UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
'Gemel' is a lightweight versatile imitation gemstone. 'Gemel' can be utilized in all forms of jewellery. 'Gemel' is strong so can be worn as a ring and weighing an average 6gms (for stone size, 30 x 25 x 10mm) it is lightweight making it excellent for use in earrings, being extremely comfortable for the earring wearer compared to other gemstone and imitation gemstones of this size. The use of vitreous glass enamel gives the opportunity for a wide range of colours, patterns and sheens to be implemented. Clients have said on first viewing of 'Gemel' earrings, "what gemstone is that?". 'Gemel' earrings have been used in the music clip "Good Intent" by Kimbra. Video link has been given.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
'Gemel' primary function is to be worn as jewellery. 'Gemel' can be used in Earrings, Necklaces, Bracelets and Rings. 'Gemel' has scope to change in colour (with a wide palate available) and scale to suit personal tastes. It performs better than other imitation gems, as it is lightweight giving the opportunity for large-scale pieces to be created without impacting on the wearer’s comfort.
