This is the 11th international exhibition by this talented collective …
‘The space between’ conjures questions of locating, where or what is it? Somewhere in a separation the betweenness wishes to be noticed, a point or state to suggest or identify? A position of time for the unnoticed given ownership by the jewel’……….. Words

The Precious.Collective has evolved organically since November 2017 into a collective of almost 500 makers from around the globe.
What binds Precious members together is their ambiguous relationship to notions of what ‘precious’ is.
Makers who wish to become part of this group either follow this line of thinking or work in ways that challenge traditional jewellery making through materials, techniques or concepts.
Precious is …
A celebration of Art Jewellery; showcasing this art form to new audiences.
.The building of a community through networking and creating dialogue between makers and countries.
Precious …
Provides support and sharing of ideas and knowledge.
Offers opportunities to makers at all stages of a jewellery career and as a result, creates opportunities that may not normally be financially viable or even possible on a personal level.
