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.

Are you an artist in the areas of contemporary jewelery, ceramics or glass?
You can apply to participate at the exhibition that will be on show from 12 December 2016 to 31 January 2017 at Alliages Gallery, Lille, France.
The theme for this exhibition will be (Lost) Paradises: Artificial paradise, inanimate paradise, lost paradise …Where is your paradise ?
Please submit the following information in the following formats.
1. Two different views of each work are mandatory (brooches & pendants : front & back). Pictures can be in any format (1:1 or 4/3), about 1500-2000px/side, 75dpi, jpeg|jpg extension. Maximum size for each picture is 500kb. Over this size, upload form will give an error and pictures will not be uploaded. You can use a software like Photoshop, Gimp, iPhoto, etc ... to work the file in order to fit format, size and weight. Rename the pics this way : yourname-title_x where x is the order number. Do not use espaces in the filename, use dash or underscore instead. Pics not having good naming will not be good and proposals related will be discarted.
Read these tips for the images formats
2. Captions for the works, max 500 characters, in English.
Caption must have next information as follows :
line 1 : jewel type, title, year
line 2 : materials used, dimensions (specify Unit of Measure)

Past Present Future. In 2016, the LOEWE FOUNDATION launches the LOEWE Craft Prize, an annual international award celebrating excellence in craftsmanship. With this forward-looking initiative, LOEWE seeks to recognise uniquely talented artisans whose artistic vision and will to innovate will set a new standard for the future of craft. The incentive for the prize goes back to the roots of LOEWE, a leading luxury house that started as a collective of artisans in 1846.
As an internationally recognized art jewelry maker and scholar, Iris Eichenberg knows that it takes more than creativity and passion to create stellar works. It also takes the right resources, which is why she is offering her support to mid-career artists by serving as a juror for the new Susan Beech $20,000 artist grant. The international grant will provide support to an established jewelry artist between the ages of 35 and 55. This largest grant of its kind will be awarded for the first time in 2017.
As an artist and academic, Eichenberg's background both contrasts and complements those of the other grant jurors. Grant founder Susan Beech is a passionate art collector and art jewelry advocate. Cindi Strauss is a curator at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, Texas. All three women will bring a unique perspective to evaluating artistic proposals.
Proposed projects must be completed within the grant's two-year timeframe and have a specific outcome. A project's focus must be on art jewelry, but art jewelry can be loosely defined. Examples include a new body of jewelry, performance art related to jewelry, a book, catalog or other publication, or another undertaking related to art jewelry.
Grant submittals should include an artist bio, project proposal and outline, detailed budget, and portfolio. For more information and specific guidelines, visit here. Grant proposals are due by midnight, MST, January 16, 2017. There is no entry fee to submit.
