Free Jewellery Making Demo Event

Our popular Jewellery Making Demo Event is returning to our Birmingham store on Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th March, and it's bigger and better than ever with new demonstrators, new techniques and more to enjoy.

Feel free to stop by between 10.00am and 3.30pm on either or both days, when our experienced jewellers and knowledgeable demonstrators will be exhibiting a variety of jewellery making skills (see below for full details on all demonstrations) and will also be on hand to answer any questions you may have.

This is the perfect opportunity for you to learn from experts, talk with like-minded jewellery makers and find out more about a range of our top products in our new and improved Birmingham store. Not only that, you will receive a £5 off voucher to use in store on the day! (valid on orders over £30+VAT, additional T&Cs apply)

Don't forget, there is no need to book for either day – just turn up and enjoy yourself.

We look forward to seeing you there!
