    Opened 130 years ago, the School of Jewellery was created to provide an exclusive facility for the jewellery making industry.

    Eileen Gatt - Jeweller and Silversmith
     
    CRAFT IN FOCUS
     
    Scottish jewellery designer and silversmith Eileen Gatt has been designing and making jewellery for over 20 years.
     
    Based in the picturesque Black Isle in the Scottish Highlands, Eileen is fascinated by the mystical interaction between people and the sea, and often uses traditional customs and superstitions as starting points for her designs. Her whimsical yet sophisticated creations evoke a sense of nostalgia and allow the wearer to create their own sense of attachment and meaning. Eileen also loves to inject a little humour where possible!
     
    Over the span of her career Eileen has invested her years both in developing her distinctive collections, as well as supporting emerging talent through her time spent teaching at jewellery institutions across the country. In her early career, Eileen won a Royal Academy scholarship to work with Inuit stone carvers in Alaska, an experience which has fuelled her fascination with the Arctic ever since. Having collaborated with storytellers from both Scotland and North America, Eileen continues to draw her inspiration from the Polar wilderness and Inuit culture, Scottish folklore and landscapes, and the small fishing communities found along Scotland’s East Coast.

    Goldsmiths’ Company’s - This month we were excited to launch our Customer Benefits Programme - a series of free tours, talks, workshops and demonstrations to provide expert advice exclusively to our customers.
     
    The programme kicked off with a tour of the Goldsmiths’ Company’s Collection.
     
    Charles Spurrier, Silver Steward, showed the lucky group of customers some of the Company's most spectacular pieces. This included the 1493 Cup, shown here. It is the earliest hallmarked item in the Collection and one of the earliest pieces of fully marked secular plate. It was found in the roof of St Andrew’s Church, Middleton, Yorkshire, and purchased by the Company in 1976.
     
    We were thrilled to welcome our customers to the Hall and can’t wait to see more of you throughout the year!
