Ola Gorie is considered one of Britain's leading jewellery brands, with a reputation for high quality craftsmanship and creations that blend innovation with tradition. In our workshop in the Orkney Islands, off the North coast of Scotland, each piece is made to the most exacting of standards.

A pioneer of the Scottish jewellery industry, Ola returned from art college in 1960 and drew on the islands for her inspiration. These award-winning designs quickly gained approval at home and abroad, and her name became synonymous with stylish, finely crafted jewellery. Her achievements were recognized in 1999 with the award of an MBE, and have inspired a generation of Orkney designers.

Ola Gorie frequently appears in judges' lists for prestigious awards such as the Scottish Gift of the Year, (winning in 1997 with May Queen, short listed in 1998 with Jasmine, 1999 with the Vision millennium collection and again in 2003 with Rossetti) and the Kayman Award (runner up in 2000).

Ola Gorie's continuing tradition of excellence is underlined by the World Gold Council's invitation to participate in 'Evocative Gold' - A New Renaissance'. Launched at Vicenza in 2001, the exhibition travelled worldwide, presenting collections from twelve countries. Ola Gorie, one of only ten British companies to be invited to produce designs for the project, created Eve Limited Edition neckwear, which now forms the centrepiece for an extensive collection.
