The Jewellery Editor’s afternoon at Goldsmiths’ Fair

Here are my picks from my wanderings around Goldsmiths' Fair yesterday afternoon. My Christmas list is very long. Goldsmiths' Fair has just opened its doors and I was one of the first there and here is what caught my eye. From the very precious (in the hall overlooking Foster Lane) to the fun and funky the display of creativity is second to none. Come here for a Kayo Saito brooch to power you through meetings or the most delicate garland necklace from Beth Gilmour. Go way out there with an outsized perspex ring rippling with titanium 'sound waves' by Emmeline Hastings or rock and roll with Tomasz Donocik's leather studded braceles and Shaun Leane's tough love Blackthorn, spiked but lovely rings. The Fair is held at Goldsmiths' Hall
