ACJ Member’s Open Exhibition, 2021
The aim of the 2021 Open members' exhibition is to show a picture of the huge range and variety of our members' designs, materials and techniques - a time capsule of contemporary jewellery in the 2020s, a type of directory of jewellers. All members were encouraged to chose their best or favourite piece from the last few years, using any materials, any techniques and in any style, to be included in this exhibition. And what a fantastic response we received, resulting in a real celebration of all the talent in the ACJ!
