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.

Comment by Rebecca Skeels on April 25, 2020 at 8:03am: he Goldsmiths' COVID-19 Fund: Grants / loans are available for self-employed, sole traders or those running micro-businesses of five employees or less, who are in financial difficulty. However due to a very high volume of applications, they are not accepting new applications for the next few days while their charity team respond as quickly as possible to those who have already applied. There are still funds available and applications will reopen shortly once they have processed the first round of applicants. Please check their website and on social media for the announcement of when fund applications have reopened here.https://www.thegoldsmiths.co.uk/charity/goldsmiths-covid-19-fund/go...
