Shine 2025: championing the UK's brightest new talent
Shine 2025, the annual showcase of new talent in jewellery and silversmithing, returns to the Goldsmiths' Centre on 17 September. This year, eleven exceptional UK-based designer-makers have been selected to present their collections in its exhibition space near Farringdon station in London.
Launching with a special one-night-only pop-up celebration, Shine invites jewellery lovers, collectors, design enthusiasts to meet the makers, discover their stories and shop one-of-a-kind pieces. The collections will be on display and available to purchase until 22 December, both in person and online.
Chosen from an open call by guest judges, jewellery writer and journalist Rachael Taylor and jewellery designer Darren Sherwood (Mr Sherwood), this year’s line-up features:
Edwin Charmain (Pusaka)
Carol Cole (Carol Cole Jewellery)
Shirani Fernando (Shirani Jewellery)
Niamh Wright (Nif Jewels)
And silversmiths and jewellers:
Iona Hall (Iona Hall Silversmith)
Building on the success of last year’s event, which attracted more than 200 visitors on opening night, Shine 2025 continues to grow its reach and impact.
All purchases – whether made during the launch event or online – directly support the participating makers in building sustainable creative businesses.
As part of the associated training programme, the designers have also created short films and interviews, offering personal insights into their creative journeys.
These will be shared on Instagram @gsmithscentre, helping audiences and industry professionals discover and connect with the next generation of talent.
