Yulia Gato - MY STORY - GatoJewel

​My name is Yuliya, I lived in Ukraine and started making jewellery more 30 years ago. I have made jewellery as a solo jeweller for custom clients, collaborated with jewellery companies as a jewellery designer, wax model maker, and as a subcontract jeweller.
When Russia attacked my country my children and I took refuge in the UK - thanks to the endless kindness and patience of our sponsors, to whom I am eternally grateful - and now I live and work in the UK.


I am an independent jeweller, working on my own inspiration and seeking a new vision for traditional jewellery art. My aim is to give you a unique and genuine item that will bring you joy and make you proud to wear it. I would to give you an artefact that will help you stand out from the boring crowd of trends and mass production. Each jewellery piece will be handmade to order, especially for you.

All my fine jewellery is handmade to my original design using classic jewellery techniques.
I will be happy to discuss your special requests for sizes, gemstones and more.
Feel free to ask me for custom orders, specifying your wishes.

Here is only a small part of my bespoke jewellery, which have already found their happy owners. 
On this site you can see my current collections and order your custom jewellery. 
You can also contact me directly with your exclusive wishes for a unique piece of jewellery and we will discuss the details.
You can also sometimes see my jewellery in galleries or at exhibitions - I participated in London at Forge Gallery and Handmade Chelsea in 2024. Subscribe to get news about my new collections and next participations.

I create custom jewellery for a wide range of clients who are looking for traditional designs as well as something new and unusual. I work in silver, gold and platinum using a variety of jewellery techniques. One of my specialities is the meticulous process of designing and hand carving wax models for casting in precious metal. I also do all the finishing work on the precious piece before it is transformed into a real piece of jewellery.
I am also open to working with jewellers to create unique hand carved wax models or other collaborative pieces.
