Collections
If you feel you need a little extra sparkle in your life then head for the Collections designer jewellery show to discover the highlights of next year’s trends. Filled with innovative and stylish jewellery the show will feature exhibitors such as Nina Ricci, Lola Rose, Dower & Hall and Djadji Platinum among many others, and is out to showcase the creative talent available in the industry right now.
Newly launched this year, Collections is also introducing the “New Designer of the Year Award.” Sponsored and judged by headline exhibitor Stephen Webster, as well as Jose Skeates (ECone) and jewellery editor Carol Woolton (Vogue), this is a first for the UK jewellery market and is aimed to encourage the development of new talent. The winner will be offered a showcase of their work at the Garrard flagship stores both in London and L.A.
This year’s show will also include an exclusive feature from groundbreaking jewellery designers Johnny Rocket. Some of their most iconic pieces from their design archive – as worn by pop princess Kylie and Justin from Darkness – will be on display. The showcase will emphasise how designers have broken the barriers of creative jewellery and will underline the exceptional direction of jewellery design over the past ten years.

The Collections show will run from 18th – 20th January 2009 at Earls Court, London.
