Manifesto

YOUNG BRITISH JEWELLERS

Young British Jewellers is an online community for contemporary jewellers enabling innovation through interaction.

We provide free profile space for jewellers to promote themselves; by gathering everyone together into one space we will make it easier to access contemporary jewellery online. 

We host and regularly update a list of current and future jewellery exhibitions, again, making contemporary jewellery easier to access online and ensuring that when an event is happening people know about it.

We are establishing our own program of events designed to bring contemporary jewellers together enabling the formation of exciting new collaborations and collectives. As many jewellers work alone in home studios they can lack the support of a community environment which is what we hope to provide through the website and during these events.

Through the blog we will bring you a variety of jewellery ‘stuff’ including  access to jeweller’s studios, interviews, exhibition reviews  and of course plenty of photos.

Young British Jewellers was founded in 2012 by Vega Bantock and Christopher Minton, a jeweller and a historian.
