Course Leader for BA Jewellery Design at CSM @csmbajewellerydesign , jewellery maker and lover of all things SUPERFRILLY!!!!!!!!

Reflecting back over Manchester Jewellery Week, it exceeded our expectations. Mainly because of everyone giving their time to make it so special!

We’d like to thank again our panel who gave up their time to take part in an important discussion on the future of contemporary jewellery in the U.K. and beyond. Lots of positivity among the audience!

Thanks to @norman.cherry for chairing and the rest of the panel @hellohellomrb @superfrillylover @lynne_speake and @jobloxham1

We’re already looking ahead to Manchester Jewellery Week 2028.

We want to hear from jewellers, artists, galleries, universities, cultural organisations, venues, partners and sponsors who like to be part of the next edition.

Expect contemporary and art jewellery, exhibitions, talks, workshops, open studios, collaborations, unexpected spaces — and plenty of Manchester spirit.

WANT TO GET INVOLVED?

Exhibit. Host. Partner. Sponsor. Collaborate.

$On view till September 20 in the museum of contemporary jewellery of @museescagnessurmer This necklace by @superfrillylover is one of the 37 pieces selected by the jury and team of @destinationbijoucagnes through an opencall for the exhibition "Sparkle/Éclat" Sally Collins - United-Kingdom / Royaume-Uni Pendant / collier "'Care Bears Forever'", 2025 Pendant- 85mm x 17mm, 'chain' length 800mm / 42.5gr Materials: Painted reclaimed tin, sterling silver, steel, reclaimed plastic, crystal, glitter / boite en étain recyclée peinte, argent massif, acier, plastique recyclé, cristal, paillettes Photo: 1 by the artist / 2 by Max Warren STATEMENT “Care Bears Forever” is a necklace created from recycled and reclaimed elements, brought together to celebrate kindness, human connection, and the quiet power of joy. Each fragment carries a past life, reimagined into something that sparkles anew—mirroring how small acts of care can transform even the heaviest moments. In a world that can often feel fractured and uncertain, this piece holds onto softness and kindness. It honours the simple, radiant feeling we experience when we choose compassion—when we reach for one another, even briefly, and create something shared and luminous. The playful shimmer of the materials reflects that emotional glow: a reminder that kindness is not naïve, but necessary, and that joy, however fleeting, is something we can make and remake together. “Care Bears Forever” invites the wearer to carry that Care Bear energy with them—a small, shining testament to connection, resilience, and the enduring beauty of being gentle in a difficult world. #destinationbijoucagnes #cagnessurmer #espacesolidor #sallycollins #contemporaryjewellery$
