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.

AMBER: THE BALTIC JEWEL TALK



Join Dr Mara Kalnins, the author of The Ancient Amber Routes: Travels from Riga to Byzantium, for a lunchtime talk on the beautiful sun-stone and gem-like resin: Amber.

She will explore the cultural history of the ancient amber routes and the artefacts that tell its story, from amber beads found in the Old Kingdom of Egypt to the 18th century ‘Amber Room’ of Peter Great. Dr Mara Kalnins is a Fellow of the Corpus Christi College at the University of Cambridge and formerly University of Cambridge Reader in Modern English Literature. She has published widely in 19th and 20th century studies and is General Editor of Conrad’s works for Oxford University Press. Latvian by origin, her many books include a cultural history of the Baltic - The Ancient Amber Routes: Travels from Rīga to Byzantium - and she has recently completed Latvia: A Concise History.

FRAGILE FUTURE CONCRETE CHANDELIER BY STUDIO DRIFT
What is Luxury? Object in Focus

For Fragile Future Concrete Chandelier, dandelion seed heads were harvested before opening into ‘clocks’ and individually applied to LED lights to make this chandelier. The lights are powered by an innovative three-dimensional bronze circuit which conducts electricity and avoids wiring. This fusion of nature and technology is a poetic comment on the possibilities of uniting two seemingly opposite systems.
