The Association for Contemporary Jewellery

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.

    Some of the most prominent silversmiths working in the UK today have designed and made Christmas tree decorations, on display at the Hall.

Following on from last year's successful display at the National Museum of Scotland in conjunction with the Silversmiths' Art, and at the Hall, we are delighted to showcase a selection of Silversmiths' Christmas Tree decorations once again.

Here is an opportunity to buy a piece of silver by an artist silversmith. If you would like to purchase a decoration, please contact the Silversmith directly. Contact details can be found with their decorations below.
