Goldsmiths
Goldsmiths hold a central place in the UK jewellery industry, whether referring to the skilled artisans shaping precious metals or Goldsmiths, one of the country’s leading jewellery and watch retailers. For trade professionals, both aspects are vital: the craftsmanship underpinning bespoke and fine jewellery, and the retail strategies driving consumer trends. Jewellery Focus covers goldsmithing as a profession—highlighting innovations, training, and the preservation of traditional skills—alongside news and insights on Goldsmiths’ store activity, brand partnerships, financial performance, and strategic developments.
