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

LJE has organised a “meet the buyers” event at Cockpit Arts, Northington St. London WC1N 2NP
on Monday 3rd Sept between 2-5pm in the Education Room.

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. There may be an opportunity to make individual appointments with interested buyers on the following day.

Please email aldyth@londonjewelleryexports.com if you want to participate.

This visit has been organised with the generous support of British Jewellery and Giftware Exports and UK Trade and Investment.
