Explore a curated selection of this year’s awe-inspiring, award-winning work from the Goldsmiths' Craft & Design Council Awards 2025 at Goldsmiths’ Hall from 4-7 March 2025.
This free-to-attend exhibition features work from a selection of emerging and established UK-based jewellers, silversmiths, and craftspeople. Visitors will discover handcrafted fine jewellery, contemporary silversmithing, and objet d’art, alongside detailed enamel work, creative lapidary, and avant-garde conceptual jewellery.
Each year, the Awards receives more than 800 competition entries from UK designers and makers, ranging from students and apprentices to masters of their craft. All award-winning work is considered with a critical eye by more than 100 expert judges who assess the quality, skill, creativity, standards and complexity of each design.
Founded in 1908, the Goldsmiths’ Craft and Design Council (GC&DC) is a non-profit making charitable organisation that encourages, stimulates, promotes and celebrates excellence in the jewellery, silversmithing and allied industries in the UK through its prestigious annual awards, often referred to as 'the Jewellery Oscars.'
It is governed by a Council of 21 trade based experts from which a Chairperson and Vice Chairperson are chosen. Council members are recruited through a process of nomination and democratic election, giving their time freely and generously in order to maintain and enhance the Council's work.
The GC&DC competition is generously supported by a distinguished and loyal group of Patrons and Sponsors. Our leading partners are The Goldsmiths’ Company Charity and The Goldsmiths’ Centre, alongside Cartier, Brown & Newirth, The Clothworkers’ Company, Tracr, ALPHA LASER, TLM Laser, Beaverbrooks, Lindström, Louisa Guinness Gallery, Sheffield Assay Office, The Betts Group, and Thomas Fattorini.
The Goldsmiths’ Company and The Goldsmiths’ Foundation are proud to support the Goldsmiths’ Craft and Design Council (GC&DC).
