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.

It also captures the views of industrial community and senior academics to determine where the UK should be headed to create commercial value from developments in these materials.

Tatty Devine
We talk to the energetic jewellery duo
Tatty Devine feature in our jewellery exhibition I AM HERE which features over 90 pieces of jewellery from the last 40 years.
We visited founders Harriet Vine and Rosie Wolfenden in east London to talk about getting started in the 90s, working with pioneering jeweller Susanna Heron, their compulsion to make and why you should never ask permission.
The 'Still Life' necklace Harriet wears in the film features in I AM HERE and inspired the Still Life Pot Plant Brooch which was one of the limited edition pieces, along with the I AM HERE Necklace that they created for the Crafts Council.
I AM HERE is on at The Hospital Club in Covent Garden until the 28 August 2017.
