Julia Balchin will join the Goldsmiths’ Centre in March 2026, a charity that exists to support the jewellery, silversmithing and allied industries in embracing learning as an essential lifelong practice. Julia Balchin, former Principal of the Royal Drawing School, has more than 20 years of experience in the arts, culture and education sectors.
UK-based jewellers and metalsmiths working with precious metals are warmly encouraged to submit their applications for this unique selling exhibition. For more than 40 years, Goldsmiths’ Fair has given visitors the chance to see, try, and buy pieces from the most exciting independent craftspeople.
The Trial of The Pyx has taken place at Goldsmiths’ Hall, in the City of London since 1871. However – due to an exciting renovation project taking place at the Hall – for the first time in history we are relocating the Trial and the Verdict to Mansion House in 2026. Security is high, spaces are limited, but we are thrilled to give forty people the chance to experience this ancient judicial ceremony in person!
