Benchmark for Jewellery Week 2013

To celebrate Jewellery Week 2013 and showcase incredible work made by UK designers today, Craft Central presents Benchmark - a selling exhibition of contemporary jewellery design (10-15 June 2013). A stone’s throw from London’s famous jewellery quarter, Hatton Garden, Benchmark will take place in our new Gallery and feature exciting jewellery by 16 leading designers, selected for the original nature of their outstanding handmade jewellery. Benchmark will explore the making processes, sculptural forms, innovative materials and narrative elements that contribute to the making of cutting-edge jewellery that remains highly wearable. Bold and dramatic, astonishingly intricate, exceptionally skilful... see jewellery in a new light.
