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.

Real to Reel: The Craft Film Festival
Coming soon to the Picturehouse Central in London
Craft has a very special relationship with film. Craft on film can be hypnotic, surprising and magical. The resurgence of interest in craft has resulted in a host of beautiful and interesting new films on the topic.
From BBC Four’s unhurried look at making in 2015 to Oscar-nominated film director Morgan Spurlock turning his attention to the handmade in his next feature film Crafted – craft looks good on screen.
It’s why we are hosting our first ever craft film festival this May during London Craft Week. We’re taking over Picturehouse Central in London on the 4 and 5 of May to play a programme of films relating to craft.
From elegant documentaries, story-led films and animation to seeing skill in action or materials from a new angle and celebrating the craft of film-making - Real to Reel: The Craft Film Festival will show an array of films that capture the wonder of craft.
If you have a made a film with a craft connection in the last two years then you could submit a film to Real to Reel.
So get the dates in your diary and let us know how you like your popcorn.
