We are thrilled to introduce the Cluster Contemporary Jewellery Awards, an exciting initiative that celebrates innovation and excellence in contemporary jewellery design. This year, we brought together leading contemporary jewellery galleries and institutions from the UK and abroad to select standout exhibitors from the Cluster Contemporary Jewellery Fair March 2024.
These chosen artists are awarded the unique opportunity to showcase their work in prestigious galleries or participate in esteemed educational programmes, providing them with unparalleled exposure and growth within the industry. Join us in recognising the talent and creativity that define the future of contemporary jewellery.
Stay tuned for updates on the winners of the Cluster Contemporary Jewellery Awards as they seize the incredible opportunities provided by their prestigious recognition.
THE AWARDS
Meet the gallery & institution partners of 2024’s Cluster Contemporary Jewellery Fair, which took place in West London’s historically significant and strikingly beautiful Chelsea Old Town Hall.
TINCAL LAB
Tincal lab is a contemporary jewellery work+shop space founded by Portuguese jeweller Ana Pina. It opened its doors in June 2015 on a second floor space at Rua de Cedofeita, in downtown Porto. In the end of 2018 it found a new home in the heart of Porto Art District: CCBombarda, shop 25.
Under the motto “curating and experimenting in contemporary jewellery”, we regularly launch collaborations and events that help to promote this amazing creative area, such as workshops with invited jewellers, individual and collective exhibitions, featuring works by local and international artists.
Ana Pina will select two artists who will win a year's representation with Tincal Lab including being featured in their gallery/shop & one highlight in their window display during this period.
AUTOR
AUTOR is an exclusive scene for contemporary jewellry, concepts and encounters. It is the space where both functional and conceptual approaches to wearing jewellery can be seen and touched. In each edition they are defining “the sweet spot” where design, art and emotions meet.
Their selected artists explore different themes such as wearable versus statement pieces, cultural differences and meanings, authenticity and personal filter, accepted beauty and unusual aesthetics.
As a platform, AUTOR communicates on different levels and through various media: the fair, the printed magazine, the awards and a versatile digital arena.
AUTOR selects an artist to win a free spot at Autor’s fair in May 2024.
VS JEWELLERY SCHOOL
VS Jewellery School’s focus is on teaching people how to become creative thinkers and accomplished designer-makers.
The school offers professional courses tailored to suit beginners and advanced students. They teach traditional hands-on techniques together with a contemporary approach to design, and their students learn from highly experienced lecturers who can provide real-life insight into the world of jewellery.
Their aim is to help every aspiring jewellery maker to tap into their own creativity and realise their dreams and ambitions. This supportive and nurturing environment is the perfect place to begin that journey.
VS Jewellery School will select an artist to win a 1 hour mentorship session with each tutor from the school (Vannetta Seecharran, Stelios Karantonas & Linda Robertson).
