Jewellery designer Laura Gibson, known for her gold, silver and colored-gemstone fine jewelry, has been named one of the year's "Designers of the 21st Century" by JQ magazine.

The award is given annually to an exclusive group of fine-jewelry designers who "exemplify the creation of fine jewelry and true design for the 21st century."

With extensive knowledge and expertise in colored gemstones, Laura Gibson not only uses some of the finest exotic stones in her pieces, but has a unique ability to create unexpected color combinations that set her work apart and make it instantly recognizable.

She will be showcasing her collection at the Couture Show in Las Vegas from May 30-June 4 in booth #367.
