Association for Contemporary Jewellery ACJ

Excerpt from Chairman's Letter:

It should be spring any day now so maybe it's time to seek out the positive.  At the time of writing, the media are full of gloomy reports about the imminent collapse of banks, the dire state of industry and the plummeting stock market.  However, I like to think that it will be possible for jewellers to survive the storm ahead.  After all, well-designed objects of beauty, regardless of their price tag, will still hold on to their appeal and value when other 'investments' have lost their lustre.  The reputation of contemporary design, and jewellery in particular, is still held in high regard.  This is due to a combination of excellent art and design education, and the support of various bodies that bring the great choice of work on offer to public attention.
