BFC and International Palladium Board announce Rock Vault designers for AW13

Sponsored by the International Palladium Board, BFC’s Rock Vault is a unique showcasing initiative developed to nurture London-based creative, fine jewellery designers and offer them exposure and the chance to further develop their businesses.

This year’s Rock Vault jewellers have been tasked with designing a pair of red carpet earrings created in palladium.

The designer brands selected to take part in the showcase are Alice Cicolini; Fernando Jorge; Hannah Martin; Husam El Odeh; Imogen Belfield; Joe Hayes Ward; Melanie Georgacopoulos; Sophie Bille Brahe; Tomasz Donocik; and Yunus & Eliza.

Chairman of the International Palladium Board Brad Mills commented: “Rock Vault’s success to date has come down to the unique talent selected by the panel and the combination of so many wonderful jewellery designers with such varying styles. We are thrilled to be a part of this showcase and a supporter of the new palladium earring initiative. Each season we continue to be amazed by the beautiful jewellery created in palladium, a contemporary precious metal of the future. We hope this exhibition will inspire more designers to work with palladium and for retail consumers to consider the possibility of this wonderful new metal when buying jewellery. We look forward to another exciting year with BFC Rock Vault in 2013.”
