The Designer Jewellers Group was founded in 1975 as a co-operative which promotes the work of its members.
Individuality of design and professional craftsmanship are its hallmarks, bringing together an exciting diversity of styles in contemporary jewellery. All members are designer makers, working in precious metals, gemstones, carved hardwoods, Perspex, polypropylene and textiles, and using a vast array of techniques. They are often commissioned to make bespoke items or pieces for special projects. They exhibit independently in fairs, galleries and museums throughout the United Kingdom as well as internationally, and have made important contributions in the publishing and teaching worlds. Today the members come together for exhibition purposes, often with invited guests and offering new designers a platform for launching their work in a professional environment. |
