About us

Gems and Jams is a celebration of creativity; bringing together the art of jewellery, music and abstract art forms, all in one space.

The birth of G&J originated at my time at Art school. The years I spent at student galleries, roaming around looking at traditional art forms - though very supportive of my peers, I wondered why there was no jewellery filling up these galleries.

This gap in the industry pushed me to start my own exhibition that I wanted to attend, filled with both artists and jewellers in a mission to showcase that jewellery is In fact, also art.

I don't believe that jewellers should sit in the rain, hail or shine selling their pieces at a market stall when artists have the pleasure of exhibiting in beautiful galleries. Let the jewellery sell itself!!! Let us hang it up and admire It as each piece is thoughtfully designed, gem-set, and finished by hand; by the maker. This is ART!

Through countless conversations, the dream became something that seemed possible, and suddenly birthed the conceptof a Jewellery Exhibition.

The amount of work, design, patience and craftsmanship that comes to making any handmade piece is something that artists share - especially jewellers. 

Gems and Jams is a space for independant Jewellers and Artists to showcase their pieces who don't have a storefront to exhibit their work in person. It allows people to experience the quality that often gets lost online.

Jewellery is more than an accessory, they are handmade wearable sculptures. 

Supported by local disc jockeys, and artists - we are here to celebrate every medium of creativity.

For the first of its kind, welcome to Gems and Jams.

Hope to see you there,
