is devoted to the promotion, representation, understanding and development of contemporary jewellery in the United Kingdom and abroad.
Founded as a membership association in 1997 and registered as a Limited Company in 2006, it recognises a need to foster discussion, debate and critical review and interaction amongst its members. To this end we organise conferences, lectures, seminars, workshops and an annual general meeting for our members. Our regular newsletter, findings, features reviews, information, comment, book offers and discounts and is of benefit to both our members and the wider public. We also produce a monthly e-bulletin featuring news and opportunities.
We welcome as members practising jewellers, associated designers and crafts people, educators, students, gallery owners and retailers, museum curators, critics and collectors - indeed, anyone with an interest in contemporary jewellery.

Apply to sit on the Craft Bench !
Throughout 2013 Craft Scotland will be planning and hosting our largest programme of events for the craft sector to date.
Our plans include a conference, networking events, training and coaching on essential areas of audience development including marketing, building a brand and reaching out to your own communities.
The Craft Bench will be a committee of twelve people who will be asked to come together twice a year to share their opinions, thoughts and ideas with Craft Scotland on how to make Scotland the strongest craft community in the world.
Through prior consultation with makers we know that there are a variety of essential training issues that will always be required. However, sometimes one size doesn’t fit all. The audience development needs of furniture makers are different from those of textile designers, and Scottish potters enjoy different opportunities and issues to those of jewellers working in Scotland.
With this in mind, we have invited a representative from six leading Scottish craft associations and societies to join the Craft Bench as founder members, covering jewellery, basketmaking, furniture, glass, ceramics and textiles.

A new report released on Friday by the Silver Institute paints a rosy picture of the Chinese silver market and forecasts further growth. In just a decade, demand for silver in China has grown by more than 100 million ounces and fabrication has nearly doubled, making China the second largest silver fabricator in the world just behind India. China is the world’s leading market for both physical investment and paper trading of silver futures.
