Gina Hampton
Boerne/ Fair Oaks Jewelry Maker
Bold Designs with a Fine Art Quality
Gina
Hampton has a strong history of success at JR Mooney Gallery in Boerne. For less than five years people have come to
expect and receive work of integrity in each piece. Gina’s designed the spring and summer
compositions with lightness and airiness in concept and detail. Necklaces
having single strands of beads - some in aquatic color themes; others having
images of turtles and frogs were harbingers of the outdoors, patio parties and
casual times enjoyed during summer. Now
that fall has come and nature offers coolness and boldness of color, Gina’s
artistic expression has responded to the change of apparel enjoyed by many.

Gina Hampton, Boerne’s own artisan in metals and
semi-precious stones, has welcomed the fall and winter season with designs that
are thoughtfully composed and appropriate for day into evening wear. One-of-a-kind jewelry and willingness to
adjust lengths and change sets to individual needs are welcome and show the
personal commitment to service that is rare, but, typical of her
thoughtfulness.

Most recent compositions include layering of contrasting
materials. One design includes nautilus
shells, Druze, crystal, pearls and amber.
Gina once again shows how very knowledge and insightful she is and
respectful of natural color and minerals.
Another necklace inspired by large chunks of flesh toned agate is reminiscent
of the attention to detail and Gina’s understanding of jewelry that is intended
to enhance the wearer.

At its most subtle level
Gina is aware of jewelry and the story it tell of travels, the search
for quality that sustains the test of time, or personal value system. Weather it is a gift to oneself, a family
member, or loved one, careful thought has been addressed and the personal
connection will come full circle.
