'Best Before' work by Katrin Spranger
“Jewellery that is precious is often thought of as such due to a financial market value or a society’s norms.

Mission Statement
Precious has evolved organically since November 2017 into a collective of over 200 makers from around the globe.
What binds Precious members together is their ambiguous relationship to notions of what ‘precious’ is.
Makers who wish to become part of this group either follow this line of thinking or work in ways that challenge
traditional jewellery making through materials, techniques or concepts.

'Horizon' work by Donyi Wu
Precious is:
A celebration of Art Jewellery; showcasing this art form to new audiences.
The building of a community through networking and creating dialogue between
makers and countries.
Support and sharing of ideas and knowledge.
Offering opportunities to makers at all stages of a jewellery career and as a result, creating
opportunities that may not normally be financially viable or even possible on a personal level.
In order for Precious to grow and continue to flourish it is intended that
Precious should be agile, fluid, dynamic, energetic, open minded and flexible.

Precious is evolving into a 'creative umbrella' under which other projects
and initiatives sit, therefore enabling members to lead different projects.
All members are actively encouraged to bring forward ideas and plans for new
exciting exhibitions, projects and / or events.

we are always open to suggestions !!!!
