Cynthia Gale created a niche for herself in the art world as a museum piece jewelry designer in the mid-1990’s. Her husband and business partner, Glenn, joined Cynthia in 1995 to operate GeoArt by Cynthia Gale. The primary design inspiration for Cynthia’s exquisite artisan-crafted sterling silver jewelry collection has evolved from the fast pace and rich cultural diversity of her life in New York City. Many of her collection concepts have shaped themselves through visits to Soho and Chelsea galleries, museums and the theatre. Cynthia’s urban existence coupled with her exploration of a simpler lifestyle through her frequent production trips to Indonesia. This unique blend has clearly defined her design sense and given birth to not just another jewelry line, but rather a jewelry lifestyle. Frequent production trips to Bali and Java brought Cynthia and Glenn close to this distinctive culture and they now spend summers there with their two children, Isabelle and Ian.

In 1999, Cynthia and Glenn opened their midtown showroom to house the GeoArt collection. In 2002, the company launched its Cynthia Gale Signature Collection utilizing the fine art of repoussé. Cynthia discovered a unique repoussé workshop in Central Java and fell in love with the exquisite beauty of this time honored metalwork technique. She was convinced that repoussé was the perfect technique to utilize for her signature collection to offer to her rapidly expanding client base a unique insight into the world of fine craft. It takes ten years to train a repoussé artisan and a special aptitude and aesthetic.

Through her signature collection, Cynthia currently holds licensing partnerships with over fifteen of our nation’s leading museums and cultural institutions including: J. Paul Getty Villa, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and The Jewish Museum. She also creates unique product for The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Smithsonian utilizing this distinctive technique. Working with permanent collection pieces, incoming art exhibits and museum architecture, Cynthia creates contemporary collections of modern elegance, which she markets to high-end catalogues, museum shops, fine jewelry stores and galleries. Other clients include National Geographic and Barnes and Noble.

For Cynthia Gale, jewelry is art and art is jewelry. Every piece in each of her collections is created to convey to the wearer a sense of the cultural, historical or spiritual inspiration that went into creating it.
