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.

Danny Ries
A Londoner born and bred, Danny creates jewellery in precious metal inspired by graphic motifs and sculptural shapes and forms.
 
Whilst striving to keep her designs simple and unfussy, her palette is typically a combination of contrasting black, white and gold metal. Her use of coloured gemstones is often playful yet minimal.
 
With a technical background in textile crafts combined with her training in traditional metalwork she enjoys experimenting with unorthodox combinations of craft disciplines and skills.
 
The current range can be viewed and purchased on this website, at JeDeCo Gallery at the OXO Tower London or at any of the other listed stockists.

Helen Shere
Helen’s jewellery is inspired by illustration and is based on natural themes such as birds and trees, produced in a distinctively quirky style that is instantly recognisable.

After graduating from the University of Derby with a design degree in 2004, Helen knew that her real passion was to make jewellery, and set about learning how to do that. Today, working from her home studio in Nottingham, Helen creates her jewellery from cutting and stamping silver sheet and wire. The collection is mainly in silver, with accents of copper and brass for colour and texture. Helen uses detailed pattern effectively to ‘draw’ on the surface of the silver, using techniques such as stamping and oxidising, creating an individual look and feel to the jewellery.
