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.

Dazzle
For 34 years, Dazzle has been taking up residency on the South Bank, first at the National Theatre and, for the last four years, in gallery@oxo.

Dazzle is something of an annual pilgrimage for contemporary jewellery devotees. A chance to add to the collection, to discover new graduate talent, selected and mentored by the Dazzle team, and an opportunity to keep up with innovations in design, techniques and materials – all actively and uniquely encouraged by the exhibition team. With over 4,000 unique, handmade pieces from more than 80 international designers in every conceivable style, material and price range, all for sale and ready to take home, Dazzle is the the perfect place for some relaxed and inspired Christmas shopping.

So, why not wander among cabinets of beautiful, handmade pieces before trying on, handling and discussing items with specialist staff; give your loved one the perfect gift this festive season.

Dazzle exhibition gift vouchers are available here in £10 and £50 denominations from the exhibitions.

Past Present Future
 
In 2016, the LOEWE FOUNDATION launches the LOEWE Craft Prize, an annual international award celebrating excellence in craftsmanship. With this forward-looking initiative, LOEWE seeks to recognise uniquely talented artisans whose artistic vision and will to innovate will set a new standard for the future of craft. The incentive for the prize goes back to the roots of LOEWE, a leading luxury house that started as a collective of artisans in 1846.

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.

Book your place here: www.bagrifoundation.org/beyondtherocks
 
Admission: £10 (including booking fee)

Asia House, Library, 63 New Cavendish Street, London, W1G 7LP
