Dazzle@oxo
Dazzle will be making a short move down the South Bank into the iconic Oxo Tower Wharf, transforming into Dazzle@oxo...
Up until this year Dazzle, the UK's largest selling contemporary jewellery exhibition, has called the National Theatre their London home. In 2013 they will be showcasing over 50 jewellery designers from 22 countries and selling 3000 unique handmade pieces right here in our gallery@oxo.
Along with established jewellery designers such as Gail Klevan and Jane Adam and our very own Josef Koppmann, Dazzle will be introducing 12 new young designers. Graduate Kelly Munro will be bringing her wonderful statement pieces, using branded wood, knotted rubber and intricately saw pierced metal, each inspired by the north Scottish coastline. While fellow emerging designer, Chris Boland, will be bringing his strong bold designs using semi-precious stones.
For 32 years, Dazzle has provided a much anticipated insight into all that is happening in contemporary jewellery. The showcase is a place to find both internationally collected names and to discover new talent, hand picked from graduate shows by the Dazzle team. Don't miss out on viewing (and buying) these wearable works of art on display in the gallery@oxo throughout November and the festive season.
