About the brand
Gail R. Schubert is a lesser-known name in American costume jewellery, with pieces reflecting the bold, decorative aesthetic of late 20th-century fashion jewellery.
Her designs are characterised by statement-making forms and an emphasis on colour, texture and sparkle, often using gold-tone metal, crystals, faux gemstones and other decorative materials.
Unlike major fashion houses, relatively little documented information exists about Schubert and her jewellery production, which makes signed pieces particularly interesting to collectors.
Today, the appeal lies largely in the design and individuality of the pieces, rather than the recognition of the name.
