Precious - adj ‘of high cost of worth, not to be treated carelessly’

'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.
However, ‘precious’ can also depend upon personal taste and emotional attachment – Precious Collective

Mission Statement
June 2019
Precious has evolved organically since November 2017 into a collective of 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.
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 (as it has done remarkably over the past 1 and a 1/2 years)
it is intended that Precious should be agile, fluid, dynamic, energetic, open minded and flexible.

The future of Precious:
Ideally Precious will evolve into a 'creative umbrella' under which other projects and initiatives can sit
therefore enabling other members to lead different projects.
In light of this, all members are actively encouraged to bring forward ideas and plans for new
exciting exhibitions, projects and / or events.
It is hoped that Precious will continue to evolve organically
and therefore will not conform
to any other model of collectives ....
but ....
we are always open to suggestions !!!! xx
