"If you want a glimpse at the future of jewellery, there's an exhibition of emerging jewellers and silversmiths at the Goldsmiths' Centre in Farringdon at the moment. The display features designs ranging from Japonisme-inspired nature motifs and marine life frozen in wax and cast in metal to reclaimed glass reimagined with gemstones and stone-setting. Jewellery, generally being quite small and wearable, it's only a small-sized exhibition, filling the Goldsmiths' Centre's reception area, but in the small cases are a wide range of objects to see,"
"A rather delightful diadem of the Festival of Britain's Skylon by Estelle Burton looked impressively made, if also equally impressively difficult to wear. A two-finger ring by Fabien Y. Marcque is an interesting idea, and my own eye was turned to Lois Lo's brick wall brooch with a mix of smoky glass that reminded me of the glass used in 1970s brown coffee cups."
An exhibition of emerging jewellers and silversmiths occupies the Goldsmiths' Centre reception in Farringdon, featuring just over 50 small-scale objects. Designs range from Japonisme-inspired nature motifs and marine life cast from wax to reclaimed glass reimagined with gemstones and stone-setting. Pieces include a Festival of Britain Skylon diadem, a two-finger ring, a brick wall brooch with smoky glass, candlestick holders, silver goblets and bowls. The display emphasizes metalworking skills and stone handling. Exhibitors are alumni of the 2025 Goldsmiths' Centre Getting Started Online business training programme. The free exhibition runs weekdays until 18 February 2026.
