Gilian Packard was one of the ground breaking jewellery designers at the vanguard of redefining jewellery design during the 1960s following the post-war austerity years of the mid-20th century. Packard contributed to the exhibitions at the now famous 1961 International Exhibition of Modern Jewellery 1980-1961, curated by Graham Hughes and the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths, in Goldsmiths Hall London, while still a student. The exhibition set out to promote new design in what had become a rather stagnant industry, creating pieces of modern design for the modern world.
