A famous 1961 exhibition is set to be revived this month as Masters of Modern Jewellery returns to the Beetles+Huxley gallery for its second year.
The show, which is curated by Joanna Hardy, has been inspired by the 1961 exhibition, The International Exhibition of Modern Jewellery, which celebrated a new wave of jewellery making and designers who were breathing life back into the industry at the time.
Masters of Modern Jewellery will present jewellery from the Art Deco period to the present day and include established and new names, including Noor Fares, Monique Daniels, Ingo Henn, Andrew Grima, Disa Allsop, Shaun Leane and Tom Rucker.
A statement from the exhibition said: “In 2014 there are an enormous wealth of talented jewellery designers and craftspeople who need continued encouragement and support to achieve excellence.
“This will only be realised if the wearer continues to search out beautifully handcrafted individual and bespoke jewels, so that the skills of the goldsmith are kept alive and not lost forever.”
