	JAHYUN RITA BAEK A recent Graduate from Royal College of Art, Jewellery designer and maker Rita Baek makes contemporary jewellery using plastics and polymer combine with precious metal. Light and movement of the pieces are emphasized when the jewellery is worn.
	DONNA BARRY Edinburgh, award winning jeweller Donna Barry, designs and creates beautiful botanical jewellery collections, inspired by her love of flowers and foliage, plants, and repetitive patterns in nature.
	NICOLA BECCI My work is really an exploration of decoration using many sources of inspiration, the main ones being the rich symbolism of the Catholic Church, the trappings of royalty, playing cards and chess, calligraphy and the language of symbolism. Food and confectionary are the source for some of my most recent pieces.
	STACEY BENTLEY Stacey is an Edinburgh based jeweller. Her work experiments with vitreous enamel combined with iron, steel, semi-precious stones and precious metals. She explores new possibilities that enamel can bring to contemporary jewellery challenging its initial preconceptions.
	KELVIN BIRK Accomplished jeweller, Kelvin J. Birk has developed an intriguing collection of work where valuable gemstones are ruthlessly crushed and then reconstructed to create dynamic jewellery and objects.Consciously disregarding what is traditionally considered precious, Birk revels in a lack of control, allows chaos to take over and the nature of the precious materials to dictate the final outcome of the pieces.
	LEAH BLACK Leah creates delicate pieces, examining both relationship between object and memory, and the language and symbolism of giving and receiving flowers. From intricately detailed monuments in miniature to organically formed claws holding clusters of gems, Leah's work is compelling and unique.
	ELIZABETH BONE London based. Principle materials are silver and 18ct gold with some new work in Palladium. Elizabeth is a well established jeweller who has been practising for nineteen years. Her work has a strong sculptural, modernist aesthetic. Outlets include Electrum Gallery, Lesley Craze Gallery, Contemporary Appiied Arts, Ruthin Craft Centre, Gallery Si Japan.
	CLARA BREEN Clara Breen works with precious metals and gems, combined with fragments of leaflets, train tickets, maps or colourful paper. Clara's work plays with the notion of a contemporary keepsake. As featured on Radio 4 Woman's Hour.
