Handcrafted
The handcrafted jewellery sector remains a vital part of the UK’s jewellery industry, blending traditional techniques with modern design to create unique pieces that appeal to discerning customers.

Our reporting also explores business opportunities and challenges for professionals involved in this sector—whether navigating supply chain complexities, responding to regulatory changes, or capitalising on market shifts that favour craftsmanship and authenticity.
