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.

One of the most successful events of this year was hosting "Make your Mark". The popular open day attracted over 800 students and tutors from across the British Isles.
The aim was to provide practical information, advice, contacts and inspiration to encourage and enable students to advance in their chosen career in the world of precious metals.
Highlights included talks by renowned London jeweller Theo Fennell, the acclaimed silversmith, Miriam Hanid and The Gemmological Association of Great Britain. Experts from the Goldsmiths’ Company Assay Office and the Goldsmiths’ Centre offered insider advice on hallmarking, internships, grants and training opportunities.
We are excited to announce we will be hosting another "Make your Mark" event in 2015. More information coming soon....
Congrats Dave Merry
Dave Merry, Head of Training and Trading Standards Liaison, has recently been elected as an Honorary Member of the Trading Standards Institute.
Dave has been working for our assay office for an impressive 43 years. His intensive knowledge and experience in hallmarking and assisting TSI officers in upholding the Hallmarking Act has earned him this special award. Dave is renowned for sharing this information with members of the public and trade alike with insightful talks and TV appearances.
This accolade is in addition to his earlier achievement this year in becoming a Fellow of the Institute of Professional Goldsmiths.
We congratulate Dave who heartily deserves this recognition.
