English: Edgar Gilstrap Simpson (1867-1945), British jewellery designer in the Arts & Crafts tradition. Born in Nottingham; his father, Henry Simpson, was a lace manufacturer. Edgar Simpson moved to Switzerland, where he worked as a jewellery designer, got married and raised a family. Later on, he took up a new career path becoming a professional photographer. At some point in time, he repatriated to England with his wife and two daughters and settled near Orpington in Kent. Regarding his professional accomplishments, according to Elyse Zorn Karlin (Jewelry & Metalwork in the Arts & Crafts Tradition. London, 1993.): "Simpson worked between 1896-1910 in a simple style, somewhat similar to C.R. Ashbee. His work, some of which was exhibited in 1902 at the Vienna Secession exhibit, often took the form of curved wirework (whiplash) pendants with enamel. Other pieces by Simpson include: silver cloak clasps, gold pendants set with opal and amethysts, silver pendants, brooches, buttons with enamel, and a pendant with an opal in matrix. Dolphins and other marine animals were familiar motifs in his work. Simpson designed for Charles Horner and other firms. He designed some pieces in the Glasgow style which were exhibited in Vienna. Charles Rennie Mackintosh had recommended him to Josef Hoffman of the Wiener Werkstätte when Mackintosh was unable to fill a request himself."
