Make space in your diary for London Jewellery Week from 6 -12th June when the capital is at its sparkling best. The week is packed with events so have a look at the schedule and choose from champagne receptions, worskshop visits, lectures and meeting the designers. London Jewellery Week is a big fixture in my diary but the problem is: how to fit it all in? I will definitely be going to the Days of Knowledge at Goldsmiths and visiting Treasure, the Contemporary Jewellery Show where you can buy direct from the makers as well as going to see some workshops, as jewellery is one of the few products that is still made in the heart of London. Scheduled events include jewellery fashion shows, open workshops, antique jewellery valuations, new collection launches, seminars, meet-the-maker events, exhibitions and showcase events for London's top emerging and established jewellery designers. It is no surprise that London is viewed around the world as a major centre for jewellery design and manufacturing as well as a shopping destination without comparison. The range of top-quality jewellery designers and luxury brands available for the connoisseur in London is top notch. What's more, traditional manufacturing and finishing skills are still very much alive in London. Top design schools ensure that exciting collections produced by the next generation of jewellery designers, goldsmiths and silversmiths maintain the absolute highest standards. www.londonjewelleryweek.co.uk.
