GOLDSMITHS’ FAIR 2013 at Goldsmiths’ Hall, London EC2
Week One: Monday 23 to Sunday 29 September
Week Two: Tuesday 1 to Sunday 6 October
Admission by catalogue purchasable on the door (£10 for one week – £15 for two weeks)
It is hard to believe that this deservedly popular jewellery and silver fair has been running for thirty-one years. Spread over two weeks (different designer-makers exhibiting each week) it has become a must visit destination to either buy or commission pieces for many people.
Silver and gilt – bee honey pot by Graham Stewart £12,000
(Week 1)
It is a festival of individual talent, a move away from the concept of mass-production. Here you can get something special be it a necklace, bangle, ring, cufflinks or earrings for personal wear or striking silver candlesticks, dishes or vases for the home.
Round tribal neck sculpture & ear sculpture in 18 carat Fairtrade gold by Ute Decker
£10,500 (necklace) £1,800 (earring)
(Week 2)
The exhibitors are invited to the Fair by the Goldsmiths’ Company and each piece is hallmarked, a sign of its authenticity and quality. There is something for every budget as prices range from £60 to £16,000. It really is worth a visit!
