A glittering success<br />
London Jewellery Week (LJW), the capital’s annual celebration of jewellery took place<br />
from 6 th -12 th June this year.<br />
With events and activities taking place across London, LJW 2011 was reported to<br />
be the biggest and best so far, with plenty of opportunities for consumers and trade to<br />
engage with London’s world-class jewellery sector.<br />
Activities and events on the schedule included champagne receptions, jewellery<br />
fashion shows, open workshops, antique jewellery valuations, new collection launches,<br />
informative seminars, meet-the-maker events and exhibitions and showcase events<br />
for London’s top emerging and established jewellery designers. Offering something for<br />
everyone, from the experienced collector to the impulse buyer and even those looking<br />
to explore the world of jewellery as a career choice, London Jewellery Week aimed to<br />
be an inclusive event that brought together jewellery-lovers from all walks of life.<br />
This year, London Jewellery Week built on its success as a consumer event by opening<br />
up to trade buyers as well. The first day of Treasure, the contemporary jewellery show<br />
at the heart of London Jewellery Week, was an exclusive trade day for domestic and<br />
international retail buyers to view collections and meet jewellers. The exhibition boasted<br />
a huge turn-out and showcased innovative design, cutting-edge technology and new<br />
talent from over 100 of Britain’s most inspired and exciting designers and brands.
