York Jewellers Gabby Mulock Graduates with Award-Winning Designs

Gabby Mulock’s journey as a jeweller is driven by passion, creativity, commitment to craftsmanship, and growth. After developing a love for design through art, starting with her passion for drawing and making, Gabby pursued a Bachelor of Design with a major in Jewellery Design at the University of New South Wales. During a work experience placement at York Jewellers, her joy of transforming concepts into wearable art was discovered.

Gabby recently graduated from TAFE with a Certificate III in Jewellery Manufacture. She has refined her skills in essential techniques, laying a strong foundation for her growing career. 

Gabby was awarded Best Use of Australian Gemstones, an honour sponsored by the Gemological Association of Australia, for her award-winning designs incorporating Australian gemstones into her 1920s antique-style jewellery.

Employed as a jeweller and designer by York Jewellers, Gabby has had the opportunity to grow her skills in many different areas of this industry. She credits much of her success to the mentorship of Doug Ely, Director of York Jewellers, and the rest of the team. “Doug has always encouraged me to push my limits creatively and technically, helping me develop my skills and creativity.”

York Jewellers has helped Gabby further develop her jewellery remodelling and custom design abilities, including engagement rings and wedding bands. I love working closely with clients to understand their vision and create something meaningful," she adds.

Looking ahead, Gabby is excited to continue learning and expanding her knowledge, particularly in her love of gemstones. “Every jeweller has their approach, and I’ve been lucky to learn from many talented people,” she says. Gabby is eager to deepen her understanding of these gemstones and how they can elevate her designs.

Gabby advises aspiring jewellers: "If you're torn between TAFE and university, I highly recommend TAFE for its hands-on experience and the in-depth industry knowledge." With a promising future ahead, Gabby’s journey as a jeweller and designer is just getting started!
