Shine 2026: See, Meet, Shop New Talent Pop-Up

The Shine 2026 selling pop-up champions thirteen UK designer-makers redefining contemporary jewellery and silversmithing. Hand-picked for their originality, skill, and potential, these rising stars are at the start of their careers – from recent graduates to second career creatives. Their names may be new today, but they won’t be for long; as they become tomorrow’s sought-after talent.

This is more than an event. Every exhibitor has been supported through the Goldsmiths’ Centre’s business skills and career development programme, giving you a rare opportunity to help build their confidence and create new opportunities.

• Meet 13 breakthrough makers and hear their creative stories
• See bold new designs up close
• Champion emerging businesses empowered through our skills training
• Shop directly from the makers – perfect for collectors and thoughtful gift-giver

We’re delighted to thank our Shine 2026 award presenters for their invaluable expertise and generous support: Dora Thornton and Frances Parton (Goldsmiths' Company Recognition Award), Darren Sherwood, Mr Sherwood London (Technical Excellence), Rachael Taylor, Journalist and Author (Storytelling and Narrative), Alison Skeates, EC One (Best Collection), Mimi Hoppen and Dickon Bowden, Dover Street Market (Innovation in Design), Sarah Burns-Collins, Gill Wing Jewellery London (Innovative Use of Materials), and César Imbert, V&A (Fine Jewellery).
