From Hatton Garden to Knightsbridge, Bond Street to Green Street, the event will offer a journey of discovery, from emerging talent to behind the scenes glimpses of some of the world’s finest designers; incorporating catwalk shows, collection launches, exhibitions, auctions and open houses.

Created for the industry by the industry based on work commissioned by the City Fringe Partnership, Coutts London Jewellery Week is the first event that will showcase the city’s status as the home of world-class jewellery design to UK and international consumers.  It will bring together leading names and cutting-edge talent in a week celebrating the passion, style and inspiration behind London’s jewellery.  It will showcase London as a trailblazing destination in global jewellery and, ultimately, convey the allure and diversity of London jewellery, creating a legacy for our talent.

The event has attracted some high profile patrons who have offered their support, including Laurence Graff, Nicolas & Michael Wainwright of Boodles, Theo Fennell, Sir Terence Conran, Philip Treacy, Shaun Leane and Stephen Webster.
