 In 1977, Gail Kowalski moved to the Outer Banks with the intention of owning and operating a jewelry shop filled with her original designs. For nearly 47 years, her passion was matching a beautiful piece of jewelry, be it her design or another, with the right owner. In loving memory of her, Jewelry by Gail is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This hidden gem on the Outer Banks at Milepost 10 1⁄4 in Nags Head is a jewelry shop.
