About us

Gems and Jams came to fruition over the dinner table in our share-house. 

The years I spent at student galleries, roaming around looking at traditional mediums such as paintings, video, and printmaking works - though very supportive of my peers I wondered why there was no jewellery filling up these galleries.

The recent withdrawal from art school mixed with pressure to do something I was passionate about forged a perfect storm. Through countless conversations, the dream became something that seemed possible, and suddenly birthed the concept of 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.

Let us hang our pieces, let them be admired, purchased and worn. 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,

Tamika xx
