Gleaming silver necklaces and sparkling gemstones will be on display in a special exhibition at the Malvern Hills Gallery.

A range of jewellery designed and made by Malvern jeweller Val Shaw will be on display at the Worcester Road gallery from Monday.

The exhibition will contain two new ranges called Geo-Deco and Satin and Sequins and will coincide with the launch of Mrs Shaw's new jewellery business.

After a varied career, including posts as a flight test engineer, a Government business analyst and a business manager, Mrs Shaw decided to combine her business skills with her love of jewellery-making.

She has recently completed a two-year diploma in precious metals and gemstones at the School of Jewellery in Hockley and is a member of the Malvern Hills Arts and Crafts Guild.

The exhibition will run for five weeks. For details call Mrs Shaw on 01684 578341 or visit the gallery.
