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.

Glass artist to look out for at Collect!

Laura Quinn
Laura Quinn will be present some of her spectacular wearables: she marries glass to materials such as metal or off-cuts of leather to create dramatic, flexible and eminently functional jewellery. ‘I want people to touch it, to not be frightened of glass,’ says the artist, who will also be exhibiting with North Lands Creative. ‘I was trying to push through the psychological barrier that glass is too fragile to wear or handle – that it has to be put on a shelf to gather dust.’ In creating objects that invite emotional attachment and resist our unthinking, throwaway culture, these works fit in with her wider interest in reducing the environmental impact of glasswork.
Collect International Art Fair for Modern Craft and Design is at Somerset House, London, from 27 February to 1 March.
