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.

Beyond the Rocks: Asia and Contemporary Jewellery
Friday 4 November 2016, 6:30pm at Asia House, London.
Discover the work of key contemporary art jewellers who draw inspiration from the arts and practices of Asia, particularly India, Japan and China. Through their artistry and craftsmanship, these jewellers create original works in both precious and non-precious materials, which range from beautiful reinterpretations of the traditional, to exquisite experimental pieces.
Leading specialist in contemporary studio jewellery, Miranda Rhys Williams from Tyger Glyn gallery, London, will examine the increasing role of design in contemporary jewellery, investigating whether jewellery as art will ever replace our love affair with precious rocks.
This lecture is part of Asian Art in London 2016.

Admission: £10 (including booking fee)
