New Sensation!
It looks set to be one helluva house-warming party as IJL
welcomes visitors to its new home at Olympia at the end of
the month. While it might be business as usual, the organisers
are ensuring that the event will provide a feast for the senses…
A
new venue for an exhibition of IJL’s
standing is bound to create a buzz. It will
certainly be, as one jeweller pointed out,
a major draw for retailers who are intending
to visit the show. But just in case a shiny
new home isn’t – on its own – enough by
way of temptation, the organisers Reed
Exhibitions have a bumper line-up of new
features, exhibitors, seminars and events for
the three-day show.
Arguably the most pertinent is that for
the first time IJL will open its doors for an
extra hour’s trading. Late Night Shopping will
take place on Sunday 31st when visitors
and exhibitors can continue to do business
until 7pm. In fact think of it as a sort of housewarming party, as there will be live music
and Champagne from 5pm and the evening
will also include a Red Carpet Runway, with
an exclusive eveningwear scene. The catwalk
Ramping up the celebratory feel a notch
or two further, will be a pretty glitzy charity
auction in aid of Breast Cancer Care. Not only
will there be pieces donated by exhibitors –
Fei Liu’s Cascade pendant being one notable
example – but also a very special, sterling
silver charm bracelet created by members
of the British Jewellers Association (shown
bottom left) who gave their time and
materials free specially for the occasion.
The piece, which has been designed and
crafted by Sarah Jordan (with links cast by
Hockley Mint), features eight one-off charms
from designers Alexander Davis, Tomasz
Donocik, Andrew Geoghegan, Sarah Jordan,
Shaun Leane and Linda Macdonald, as
well as two designers who won a BJA

competition to design charms for the piece:
Samantha Rose of September Rose and
Natalie Towell of Navette Jewellery.
Speaking about the completed bracelet,
Sarah Jordan said: “I could not be more
delighted with how this has turned out. I am
blown away with how they all sit together
so amazingly well. Each charm has real
meaning and I feel sure that there will be
many, many people out there who would
love to own it. Not simply because it is a
real one off, unique bracelet but because
by doing so they will be helping a truly
worthwhile cause.”
Seminars & Advice
Once back to business IJL has much to
offer those retailers who are able to prise
themselves off the stands. Making their
debut this year will be the Advice Clinics,
Ring by Angela O’Keefe, a winner in IJL’s
Editor’s Choice competition
supported by the National Association of
Goldsmiths. This is your chance to speak
on a one-to-one basis with industry experts
covering subjects as varied as family
succession and retail security. See page 19
for further details of the free half-hour
sessions, or visit IJL’s website.
And should your knowledge need to be
expanded further, the seminar programme
covers a wide range of topics, from the
standing room only Rapaport Diamond
Industry Overview, to Corporate Social
Responsibility and selling on-line. A major
draw this year is certain to be Nicholas
42 The Jeweller Aug/Sept 2014
Wainwright, chairman of Boodles, who will
be talking about how a county jeweller grew
to be an internationally renowned brand,
which featured recently in a Channel 4
documentary. Another keynote speaker will
be Jo Fairley, the co-founder of ethical
chocolate business Green & Black’s –
another growth-of-brand story… and with
a topical CSR twist. The full (and very
packed) schedule of seminars is also
available on the IJL website.
Newcomers & KickStarters
If you do intend to take advantage of the
seminars, you’ll have to plan your time
carefully as there are also the aisles to cover
of course. Among the 550 or so exhibitors
there are around 150 newcomers to the
event. Some will be on the regular
KickStart stand (S10) and they include this
year’s ‘People’s Choice’ winner Kristjan
Eyjolfsson Fine Jewellery whose customisable
collections are made from sustainablysourced gold, silver, platinum and precious
gems. The other KickStarters for 2014 are:
Agnieszka Maksymiuk Jewellery, Cara Tonkin,
Cardinal of London, Charlotte Valkeniers,
Jeanne Marell, Keep Me Jewellery,
Majdan Rocks, Rosie May Jewellery and
SophieAliceHirsch Jewellery.
As well as globally-renowned brands and
designers showing for the first time, IJL has
also attracted a few new national pavilions
this year. AORP will be bringing a taste of
Portugal – with names like Gabriela Styliano
and Mimata; five designers will be showcasing
their work in the Ireland Cork pavilion and
the Hong Kong Manufacturers’ Association
will be hosting a pavilion displaying the
collections of 19 fine jewellery companies.
Other names to look out for are Vendome
Fei Liu’s Cascade pendant donated to
the auction in aid of Breast Cancer Care.
Paris, Artic Circle, C6 by Anne Cohen, Endless
Jewelry, MaeVona, Aurum, Ingenious and
O.W.L Watches… to name just a few.
And as always, the Designer Brands
area, showcasing fine and contemporary
jewellery, is a key feature of the show –
unmissable if you’re looking for the most
directional, innovative collections. The lineup this year includes: Babette Wasserman,
Dennis & Lavery, Dower & Hall, Fei Liu, Katie
Rowland, Molly Brown, Oak Fine Jewellery,
C6 by Anne Cohen from Denmark,
Sarah Ho/SHO, Rachel Galley, Sheila Fleet,
Sophie Harley and Tezer, a silver brand
from Germany. And for an overview of
Summer 2015 trends there’s also the
Runway catwalk shows – take a notebook
(and have yourself a well-earned breather!).

for any other materials.
