Gard set up his own business in 1964. His creative pieces used texture and gemstones, taking inspiration from nature and organic contemporary design. He was at his height of popularity in the 1970s making thousands of pieces, both commissions and collections, selling them to national and international clients. Several pieces were sold through Hooper Bolton
Alan Gard has had many successful exhibitions at both Goldsmiths Hall and Design Centre London, as well as various exhibitions in America.

His discretion and ability to model ideas enables him to create for stars and high profile clients.
Alan is well established in the London hierarchy of top-quality jewellers and has acquired a flawless reputation through his unique creations and exceptional pieces. He perpetuates original design: colour declension, baroque collections and classical retro
He is still based in London, now located at 14 St. Cross Street, Hatton Garden, where he trades under the name Alan Gard Ltd. signing his pieces AMG. Every piece of jewellery is accompanied with a warranty certificate and a document signed by the hand of the jeweller.
The brooch on offer in our sale is in the distinctive Gard style, inspired by nature, with a bold gemstone taking centre stage, surrounded by yellow gold and diamonds artistically representing a floral mass.
