Gilbert Albert
GILBERT ALBERTBorn in 1930 in Geneva, Gilbert Albert has jostled and revolutionized the art of jewellery, accumulating honours and recompenses in different parts of the world since the age of 25.Honors have made his fame and among other things, he has won the Diamonds International Award ten times; yet it is his exhibitions all over the world, through which visitors have been able to become acquainted with his highly original jewelry- overflowing with inventiveness and bold ideas - that have established him as a worthy successor to the greatest jewelry designers. His work has also been auctioned by Christies and Sotheby’s among the most prestigious masters on several occasions. Among those contemporary artists who have chosen jewelry as a means of artistic expression, Gilbert Albert is a note-worthy exception. In contrast to so many others who use only metals and stones universally acknowledged as ‘’precious’’, the incomparable talent of the Genevan jeweler manages to use a vast range of minerals usually ignored by many. Furthermore, the very widest variety of organic materials of natural origin, treated by processes of which he alone holds the secret, have acquired in his hands a bewitching intensity of colour and shimmering light. With a visionary’s sentiments for gems and as an impassioned lover of nature, Gilbert Albert transforms the beauties of creation, which we might ignore during our daily lives, into royal finery.
