Over the last seven centuries, the City of London, the Goldsmiths’ Company, and the Trade have evolved, yet, as we approach our 700th year, our purpose remains the same – we test and assure the quality of precious metals and the nation’s coinage, we provide education, training and mentorship to the next generation of master craftspeople, and we are helping to advance creative, technical, and vocational skills in the craft and trade of goldsmithing, silversmithing and jewellery, and the wider creative industries. Take a look at what we’ve achieved in the last year.
The Goldsmiths’ Company and the National Saturday Club are excited to announce a three-year partnership aimed at ensuring more young people across the UK have free access to vital creative education. As headline subject partner of the Art&Design programme, the Goldsmiths’ Company will play a key role in supporting the next generation of creatives. This year, the Art&Design programme has enabled over 1,000 young people to explore more than 200 creative disciplines at free Saturday Clubs in 49 locations across the UK.
The Betts Group, which has provided quality and service from the heart of Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter for more than 260 years, has partnered with Goldsmiths’ Fair, supporting the recipients of its 2025 Emerging Business Bursary programme with a gift of four kilograms of AgAIN silver bullion, which is made from silver reclaimed from medical X-ray films.
