A gallery in America is offering consumers the chance to buy unique jewellery in its new store.

Leeway Gallery opened in May and has a host of art, paintings, dolls and jewellery all made by Prince Edward Island artists.

Leigh Ramsay, the owner and contemporary jewellery designer told The Journal Pioneer: "People can come in here and look at what I do or know a style or design they like and I can do up a bunch of designs and they can pick their favourite. I use gold, silver, stainless steel, aluminium, basically any type of metal."

Among the jewellery made by Mr Ramsay are necklaces, bracelets and rings, which are all made with different techniques.

"Basically I take inspiration from leaves, from abstract shapes to plant-esque shapes to insects and geometric shapes, pretty much anything that catches my interest at any particular time," he added.

At present the designer is working on new rings made from 14 carat gold wire, offering an item with "that little bit of difference".
