Sponsored by

WelcomeCoutts & Co is delighted to be the principal sponsor of this year’s Coutts London Jewellery Week,

supporting the jewellery industry in these challenging economic times, through raising the profile of

London’s creative talent and technical expertise in jewellery making and design. This sponsorship

reinforces our commitment to the world of contemporary creative industries, where the last few years

have seen us enjoy highly successful relationships with fashion designers such as Alice Temperley,

Stella McCartney, Oswald Boateng and Matthew Williamson.

Coutts has a connection with the jewellery industry dating back to the company’s origins.

Established in 1692 by goldsmith and banker John Campbell, Coutts was originally a supplier

of plate and jewellery that also offered its clients a banking service. Today Coutts

provides comprehensive wealth management to high net worth individuals and

businesses across the UK, offering a tailored service to clients who often have

complex financial needs.

This year Coutts has used its expertise and entrepreneurial connections to

support emerging industry talent in developing their businesses, through the Coutts

Business Development Forum. Places were awarded to the winners of the Coutts

New Jewellers Awards, with the added opportunity to showcase their designs to

Coutts clients.

The design and creation of jewellery is a craft of which the UK is a world leader and

Coutts is extremely proud to sponsor the second year of this wonderful celebration.

Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, the City Fringe Partnership is delighted to introduce Coutts London Jewellery Week 2009.

From 8 - 14 June, London will sparkle with the capital’s jewellery talent. From cutting-edge contemporary to the fi nest classical jewellery, the secrets of this fabled industry are waiting to be uncovered.

Coutts London Jewellery Week 2009 is a unique opportunity to celebrate the world of jewellery and has been brought together by City Fringe Partnership, with funding from the London Development Agency, as part of its commitment to develop the creative industries. Independent industry group London Jewellery First and the Coutts London Jewellery Week ambassadors have been a vital support to the event.

This year Coutts London Jewellery Week will again unite some of the biggest names in the industry with the best emerging talent, offering a spectacular opportunity to discover London’s hidden gems. Find out more about the capital’s unique connection with the jewellery trade (dating back over a thousand years), join the world’s foremost jewellery institution, The Goldsmiths’ Company, for their Day of Knowledge or visit a jewellery-making class to create your own piece.

Exhibitions include Treasure, with some of London’s hottest new contemporary designers (see page 17), and Creation II, an event highlighting the work of 12 of the country’s most distinguished contemporary jewellers (see page 16).

Elsewhere, Hatton Garden - London’s historic jewellery quarter – will see many workshops opening their doors to the public for the very fi rst time, offering visitors a unique insight into the world of the jewellery-maker. Saturday 13 June will see the street transformed into a festival of food, music and, of course, jewellery (see page 11).

For those attracted to the capital’s historical roots, why not follow the Coutts London Jewellery Week Museum Trail, where you can compare marvellous collections like the Cheapside Hoard with erstwhile favourites the Crown Jewels (see page 22-23).

Jewellery designers, craftspeople and industry institutions have come together to put on over 100 events spanning the capital between 8 - 14 June so there is sure to be something to suit everyone’s taste – from jewellery afi cionados to schoolchildren and shoppers.

Discover your own hidden gems amidst this dazzling celebration of London’s jewellers.

Cutting edge LondonNew creative talent has always been drawn to London – and jewellery is no exception. Top designer Stephen Webster fi rst worked just along the Thames in Gravesend, and his designs now adorn music and movie stars. Today, the Cockpit Arts studios are home to fl edgling designers making a name for themselves – Ruth Tomlinson, Rachel Galley and Ornella Iannuzzi to name but a few.

There are over 100 jewellery graduates every year in London. Head to the Sir John Cass Department of Art, Media & Design (see page 15) or stop off at Central Saint Martins College degree show (see page 13).

Extraordinary LondonThis is an experimental city; a place where people aren’t afraid to try new and original things. “London is such a diverse place architecturally and historically; the British sense of humour and eccentricities provide a perfect springboard for creative minds” says Managing Director of Boodles, Michael Wainwright.

Some of London’s most unusual forms of jewellery will be on display around the capital during Coutts London Jewellery Week. Don’t miss Zoe Catherine Kendall push the defi nition of jewellery to its limit in her ‘wearable art’ window display at Kabiri (see page 17).

London onlineTo fi nd out what’s on, you can keep track of events by following Coutts London Jewellery Week on Twitter or Facebook. Read the blog on the website to hear all about jewellers’ own preparations and what they are looking forward to between 8 – 14 June.


London’s vibrancy and creativity lures the crème de la crème of the world’s jewellery talent; it is a melting pot of culture and artistic talent – the perfect place for design to fl ourish. At Coutts London Jewellery Week visitors will see fi rst-hand what makes London the capital of creativity.

Capital of creativity

“Creativity in London is born out of the diversity of its

people. London represents the people of the world in one

unique centre. That builds great imaginative and innovative

thinking.”

Director of International and Trade Marketing at De Beers, Jonathan Kendall

“London has always been a hotbed of creativity. As

a fashion designer I am constantly inspired by what

people are wearing on the streets. I can’t imagine

being more inspired in any other city in the world.”

Designer, Amanda Wakeley

Hatton Garden and Coutts London Jewellery Week Given its glittering history, it is no surprise that Hatton Garden is playing an integral role in Coutts London Jewellery Week. With the introduction of the Hatton Garden Festival (Thursday 11 to Saturday 13 June 2009), many workshops in the area will be open to the public, in some cases for the very first time, as part of the Hatton Garden Trail.

Here visitors can discover a world of highly-skilled contemporary designer-makers and learn how to commission beautiful, hand-crafted pieces which range in price from £50 to £50,000. They can chart, step-by-step, the complex creation and manufacturing process and talk to the jewellers involved.

The Festival will come to life with a street party on Saturday 13 June, with jewellery-making demonstrations in the street, children’s workshops, costumed actors, musicians, a fine food market,

Hatton Garden’s crowning gloryOn the fringe of the City of London, craftspeople have been making jewellery in Hatton Garden since the Middle Ages.

and a host of jewellery themed walks, talks and workshops – fun for the whole family!

Theatre students from the Central School of Speech and Drama will decorate the street adding to the fun-filled ambience on the day. Jewellery will be on display at Platform, the new exhibition space in Greville Street, and will run the full gamut of the industry’s illustrious history from The Cheapside Hoard – an astonishing collection of Elizabethan and Jacobean jewellery discovered by chance during the early 20th Century - to the latest contemporary designs from today’s hottest new talent.

To find out how you can meet some of the colourful characters from Hatton Garden during Coutts London Jewellery Week check out page 14 of the What’s On guide or pick up a Trail map in Hatton Garden during the Week. The Hatton Garden Festival is supported by Camden Council.


Hatton Garden and jewelleryIt was in the 19th century that Hatton Garden became renowned as the commercial centre for watch and jewellery manufacturing – industries that are synonymous with the area today. Its radical residents have courted controversy along the way, including Karl Marx (who wrote Das Kapital whilst he was there) and Hiram Maxim, who invented the machine gun from his studio on the corner of Hatton Garden and Clerkenwell Road. Hatton Garden’s cosmopolitan mix included a strong Jewish community, and the later infl ux of Italians prompted the nickname ‘Little Italy’.

In recent years, Hatton Garden has undergone signifi cant restoration and returned as a thriving commercial hub. Today there are around 500 jewellery businesses in the area, including over 80 contemporary designers and some of the country’s most skilled craftspeople and manufacturers.

These have been joined by other creative industries such as advertising agencies and top eateries, like the acclaimed French restaurant, the Bleeding Heart.

As the area has diversifi ed, the jewellery industry has responded with exciting developments of its own. Holts Academy of Jewellery, at the heart of Hatton Garden, offers training from industry experts on subjects such as gemmology and the latest in computer-aided design. It is set to unveil Platform, the brightest new exhibition space in the area, this June.

HATTON GARDEN SCANDAL

Few areas of the capital can lay claim to such a colourful history. The jewellery district saw the murder of Sir Christopher Hatton’s daughter-in-law by her alleged lover in Bleeding Heart Yard in 1626 and one of the UK’s most audacious heists, when diamonds worth £1.5 million were stolen from the Hatton Garden Safety Deposit in 2003.

HATTON GARDEN IN FICTION

With such a unique history, it is unsurprising that over the years, the streets around Hatton Garden have been dramatised in literature and fi lms. The area features in some of the novels of Clerkenwell resident Charles Dickens, most notably Little Dorrit and Oliver Twist, where it is home to Fagin’s gang. One hundred and fi fty years later Guy Ritchie used it as the backdrop for his fi ctional scam in the blockbuster movie, Snatch.

Why jewellery? For love, art and fashion

Jewellery as fashion You can make a piece of jewellery the centrepiece of your outfit by treating your clothes as a blank canvas. Celebrity stylist and fashion expert Alex Longmore says: “Wear dark colours that show off the stones and make them sparkle. If you want to draw attention to your jewellery, avoid wearing fussy lines and embellished material as the design of the jewellery gets lost. Black and navy silk are perfect for showing off jewellery and are especially good for pearls”.

If you want to find a piece that’s right on-trend during Coutts London Jewellery Week, look for the latest designs in cuffs. Alex has already seen what’s on the catwalks for the summer season: “The most fashionable piece of jewellery for June is the wrist cuff - especially in gold. This is a key piece that everyone should invest in. Think ‘gladiator’ encrusted with stones and wear with long floating ‘Boho’ summer dresses”.

Jewellery is a symbol. Whether it is a fashion statement or a work of art, it is often the focus of, rather than the accessory to, an outfit. With wedding bands and anniversary jewels such as rubies or pearls, jewellery has come to symbolise eternal love – and as such, its sentimental value far exceeds the initial cost. Here are three good reasons to invest in jewellery this Coutts London Jewellery Week…


Jewellery as artThroughout the ages, jewellery styles have mirrored big trends in art and design. You only have to walk around London’s V&A Museum to see opulent and radical Art Nouveau diamonds from Paris in the 1900s and Art Deco gems from the 1920s (see page 22).

Jewellery can be used to adorn the body as a work of art in its own right. Hence ‘costume jewellery’, which, far from being a cheap imitation, takes its name from its theatrical roots.

To look for jewellery in art form, why not visit London’s contemporary galleries? “The places to go for jewellery art are South Molton Street’s Electrum, Contemporary Applied Arts Gallery on Percy Street, Lesley Craze Gallery in Clerkenwell or Flow Gallery in Notting Hill,” says journalist and broadcaster on design and contemporary applied arts, Corinne Julius. “Contemporary jewellery is made first by the head, then the heart and then the hand. It’s an idea involving intellect and incredible craftsmanship that tells a story and becomes part of your own personal memory,” she adds.

Jewellery for love Jewellery is the most celebrated token of love. London holds a dazzling choice when it comes to wedding bands, engagement rings and gifts. Head to Green Street in Newham for opulent yellow gold, sample the wealth of diamond specialists in Hatton Garden, or try Boodles on Bond Street for high-end jewellery and classic styles.

2009 has seen the return of platinum to the red carpet, as modelled by Kate Winslet who collected her Oscar wearing platinum jewellery by Chopard. Beauty aside, platinum is also a hugely popular investment – it’s hypoallergenic and 95 per cent pure. Ruth Donaldson of the Platinum Guild says, “A platinum engagement or wedding ring has many qualities that make it a good investment. Platinum is very rare. If all of the world’s platinum was poured into an Olympic-size swimming pool it would just cover your ankles – whereas gold would easily fill three.”

Our trail begins at the Victoria and Albert Museum in Kensington with one of the fi nest and most comprehensive jewellery collections in the world. Opened in 2008, the William and Judith Bollinger Gallery displays over 3,500 pieces from the V&A’s jewellery collection and recounts the story of European jewellery over the last 800 years. This staggering exhibition features some of the most highly regarded pieces from the great jewellery houses of the 20th century alongside jewels designed by important contemporary makers.

From here, walk a short distance up the road to the Natural History Museum where you can discover the stories behind some of nature's most rare, unique and valuable treasures in the museum's new gallery, The Vault. This permanent exhibition features a dazzling collection of the fi nest gems, crystals, metals and meteorites from across the globe. One of the most visually spectacular displays in the capital, the Aurora Pyramid of Hope, is a world-class collection of 296 naturally coloured diamonds.

Heading east to Bloomsbury, the British Museum hosts a unique collection of Elsa Peretti jewellery and objects recently presented to the museum by Tiffany & Co.

The temporary display forms part of the Museum’s collection of modern design and runs from 1 May 2009.

London’s famous museums are home to some of the fi nest jewellery collections in the world. Our Coutts London Jewellery Week Museum Trail will take you on a voyage of discovery across the capital to unearth these hidden gems. Extending from priceless displays of the Cheapside Hoard at the Museum of London, to the jaw-dropping pomp of the British monarchy’s regalia at the Tower of London, you will uncover the fascinating role that jewellery has played across the centuries.

Offering exceptional customer service to every individual, an extensive choice of boutiques and jewellers, and the very best of this season’s collections – it really is the ultimate shopping experience. Particularly well known for its selection of glittering jewels, the Royal Exchange is a fabulous source of high-end jewellery, boasting names such as Bulgari, Cartier, Tiffany, Boodles and De Beers, to name but a few. Don’t forget to make a special stop at Milleperle; this Italian jewellery company specialises in pearl, from unique pieces of jewellery to top quality mother of pearl mosaic for interior design. For timeless elegance, choose from the fine Pearl jewellery collection – this is pure modern luxury, combined with classic artisanship and innovative design. Whether you’re looking for a romantic gift for a loved one, engagement or wedding rings to be treasured forever, the ultimate gentleman’s status watch, on-trend costume jewellery, a modern statement piece or a timeless classic – the Royal Exchange should be your first port of call.

The Royal ExchangePerhaps the most luxurious shopping experience to be had in the City, The Royal Exchange (located on Threadneedle Street) is crammed with stylish shops, award-winning restaurants and beautiful boutiques.

Love GoldSince its creation in New York in 1969, the Cartier Love bangle has become synonymous with Cartier, and the bangle itself is now seen as a mythical bracelet. It is a sign of passion, a collection, a word – but above all, an emotional bond between

two people and their commitment. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton

handcuffed their passion and locked it with a Love bracelet, and Sophia Loren and Carlo

Ponti also choose to be united for life with a Cartier Love bangle. These sensational couples, perpetually in love, inspired Cartier’s creation in gold.

Cartier 1, The Courtyard Royal Exchange 020 7312 6923 cartier.com

A Ray of SunshineThe new Sunray collection from Boodles is perfect for a bride; brilliant cut diamonds set in platinum with a diamond sunburst surround. Very pretty and feminine, the pendant and earrings look fabulous with almost any style gown. Boodles use the very finest diamonds from around the world, and only the best will do for any discerning bride. Beautifully designed and exquisitely made, the groom can do no wrong with a gift like this.

For any woman who enjoys colour, drama and attention, the Parentesi Cocktail collection from Bulgari features an entire range of coloured stone jewellery creations with ultra-modern, bold designs. Large, exquisitely coloured gems are worked into pieces with the Parentesi sign; the chief decorative element running throughout the entire line of jewels. The character and life of this collection is expressed through the up-to-date, refined and the striking shades of amethyst, blue topaz, green quartz, citrine quartz, green tourmaline, coral, aquamarine, rubellite, morganite and peridot that

are interspersed with smaller stones and illuminated by decorative

diamonds.

The creative colour combinations are perfect for the cocktail

ring, which itself has a reputation to uphold. The cocktail ring is known

widely as a showy, eye-catching ring set with large stones. It earned the title

‘cocktail ring’ because it was originally worn at such parties, and became very noticeable every time a sip was taken from one’s glass. Often the style and stones of a cocktail ring are said to reflect the wearer’s own personality. The popularity of these rings reached its peak in the 1950s and 1960s, when high-society parties became extremely sought-after events, but in recent years is experiencing an exciting comeback.

The Parentesi Cocktail jewels range from elegant pendants and necklaces, to earrings and bracelets; easy to wear and on-trend for summer 2009. The new Parentesi Cocktail collection is available from April 2009; the limited edition rings will be available on a rotating basis at selected stores.

WelcomeCoutts & Co is delighted to be the principal sponsor of this year’s Coutts London Jewellery Week,

supporting the jewellery industry in these challenging economic times, through raising the profile of

London’s creative talent and technical expertise in jewellery making and design. This sponsorship

reinforces our commitment to the world of contemporary creative industries, where the last few years

have seen us enjoy highly successful relationships with fashion designers such as Alice Temperley,

Stella McCartney, Oswald Boateng and Matthew Williamson.

Coutts has a connection with the jewellery industry dating back to the company’s origins.

Established in 1692 by goldsmith and banker John Campbell, Coutts was originally a supplier

of plate and jewellery that also offered its clients a banking service. Today Coutts

provides comprehensive wealth management to high net worth individuals and

businesses across the UK, offering a tailored service to clients who often have

complex financial needs.

This year Coutts has used its expertise and entrepreneurial connections to

support emerging industry talent in developing their businesses, through the Coutts

Business Development Forum. Places were awarded to the winners of the Coutts

New Jewellers Awards, with the added opportunity to showcase their designs to

Coutts clients.

The design and creation of jewellery is a craft of which the UK is a world leader and

Coutts is extremely proud to sponsor the second year of this wonderful celebration.
