The LJE group offered visitors to the show an eclectic buying experience with plenty of very different, but fashion-forward products to appeal to all tastes and pockets. Exhibitors included a number of well-established names such the pearl, glass and silver jewellery supplier, Martick Jewellery, and the contemporary silverware supplier M C Hersey, as well as relatively young companies such as Rachel Entwistle and Lua Lua – both of whom are already selling into such icons of style as the shop at Tate Modern. “We are proud to be able to present this talented group as just a taster of London’s rich jewellery talent,” said the BJA’s Lindsey Straughton. “Each of these companies offers a strong level of creativity and individuality.

In November a group of six London designers showed their jewellery at Kara, a consumer facing fine jewellery show held in the Bourse du Commerce off the Rue du Louvre, in the heart of Paris. The event is often described as the parisian version of Goldsmiths Fair and this was the first time an organised group of British designers had attended. The group, which included Alan Vallis, Daisy Choi, Ana de Costa, Jacqueline Cullen, Josef Koppmann and Rebecca Steiner, were supported by LJE Project Manager Lindsey Straughton, and LJE adviser Aldyth Crowther. Interpreters were on hand to help the designers promote their jewellery to discerning French buyers. All of the designers sold pieces and made valuable trade contacts.
Silverware Set for Export Success Work from twelve of London’s most innovative and exciting silver producers will be show on the London Jewellery Exports Stand C569 at this year’s International Jewellery London. This eclectic showcase of silver vessels has been drawn together as part of the London Jewellery Exports (LJE) project, funded by the City Fringe Partnership with investment from the London Development Agency and delivered by the British Jewellers’ Association. The exhibition will be a focal point for an inward trade mission from Japan which is being organised by British Jewellery and Giftware Exports the BJA’s export wing to coincide with International Jewellery London and which will bring a group of key Japanese buyers and journalists on a complimentary visit to the show. Those taking part in the exhibition are Alan Craxford, Angela Cork, Brian Williamson, Emily Jo Gibbs, Emma Farquaharson, Grant Macdonald, Julie Chamberlain, Stewart Hersey, Mary Ann Simmons, Richard Fox, Vicki Ambery-Smith and Wayne Meeten. “This small exhibition shows just how diverse the silverware currently being made in the City of London actually is,” says the BJA’s Lindsey Straughton who is coordinating the project. “We have a huge range of different looks, techniques and price points on show and I feel sure that the pieces will have wide appeal, not simply to overseas buyers but also to British retailers seeking something a little bit different.” Meet the Japanese Buyers - 3 September 2007 A group of 10 buyers and distributors will be accompanied by a member of the Japanese press and a representative from the British Embassy in Tokyo. The buyers will also be visiting IJL so those of you that are showing there need not worry about missing this event. We are inviting London jewellers to bring a small selection of their work and any promotional material to Cockpit on that day for the buyers to look at. Their schedule is tight so we ask you to bring just a few samples and lay them out on tables provided.
