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.

Launching the infocus Awards for Women In Innovation
We need your help.
Our role at Innovate UK is to identify and nurture the next generation of brilliant innovators. Women are under-represented in the field of innovation, and that needs to change.
It means as a nation we’re failing to harness, capitalise on and celebrate the entrepreneurial talent of female innovators to the detriment of our economy. Boosting female entrepreneurship could deliver approximately £60bn extra to the UK economy.
So we’re launching a special award for women working in innovation, and that’s where you come in.
What are the infocus Awards?
The infocus Awards will celebrate and reward women working across 4 key sectors - Materials & Manufacturing, Health & Life Sciences, Infrastructure Systems, Emerging & Enabling Technologies.
Twelve women will benefit from a valuable tailor-made package of support and four of these will each receive a £50,000 grant to get her brilliant idea up and running.
Could it be you? Could it be someone you work with? Who do you know who could fly the flag for women in innovation?
Find out more about the infocus Awards >
Help us spread the word
Women in innovation – the UK economy needs you! Are you who we’re looking for? Do you work with someone who’s just right for this award? Please spread the word, and let’s get more women in.

Kind regards,

Nashville’s 45th Tennessee Craft Fair capped off our spring board meeting. The annual fair celebrates and supports America’s rich craft heritage on the lawn of Music City's famed Parthenon in Centennial Park. CERF+ board and staff encountered many artists long connected to CERF+, including Alfred Sharp, wearing one of his wooden bow ties, Donna Rizzo, whose whimsical ceramic dolls were swinging from the ceiling of her booth, and emerging craft artist Clay Bush who makes furniture and messenger bags made from recycled seat belts, air bags, and buckles. http://tennesseecraft.org/events/craft-fairs/
We're delighted with the new design and have managed to squeeze in even more makes and inspiration to help take your jewellery to a new level. The July issue, on sale today, has a travel theme and includes the Tulips From Amsterdam necklace by Sue Mason-Burns, a Double Helix weave technique by Karen Caine and Leather Cuffs by Tansy Wilson.
