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.

The Future of Craft Selects – apply by 10 February
After the success of its inaugural show in 2019, The Future of Craft returns as a destination hub for London Craft Week 2020. The ground-breaking partnership led by Oxo Tower Wharf in collaboration with Design-Nation and Future Icons showcases contemporary craft over five-floors at Bargehouse with displays, demonstrations, workshops, talks and installations from innovative and inspiring makers and collectives. Now in its second year, The Future of Craft launches ‘Selects’, an opportunity for emerging and established individual contemporary designer-makers to showcase at this not-to-be-missed event.
