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.

UK Ethical Gem Fair (Egham, Surrey - appointment only)


On Monday 14th September, we are joining with Fair Trade Gemstones to host a day of socially-distanced, face-to-face appointments at The Runnymede on Thames Hotel and Spa in Egham, Surrey.


You will be given a fixed (30-minute) time slot for the day where you will be able to see stock from both vendors in one location and maximise the use of your time.


We will also be offering a range of gemstones from Capricorn Gems and some other ethical gem traders.


If you would like to book an appointment then please call or email us ASAP, as places are limited due to the restrictions in place for everyone's safety.

Stuart Pool (Nineteen48) - stuart@nineteen48.com - 07747 624040


Kathy Chappell (Fair Trade Gemstones) - kathy@fairtrade-gemstone.com - 07771 667911

In advance of the event, please review the gemstones on our website (https://www.nineteen48.com/) and let us know if there is anything in particular that you would like to see on the day, so that we can have it ready for you to view.


The gemstones available will include a range of sapphire, ruby, opal, diamonds, garnet, spinel and chrysoprase. These gems come from traceable sources in Sri Lanka, Australia, Malawi, Tanzania and the USA. All stones on display have the complete assurance of responsible mining and production. Details about the source of each gemstone will be available to every customer.


The hotel is a lovely venue on the River Thames with plenty of parking and a very comfortable lounge area where you can wait before your appointment (https://www.runnymedehotel.com/).

We are beyond thrilled to announce that Yinka Ilori, one of the UK's most original, playful and exciting young artists, has been appointed as a Crafts Council Trustee.
