A community-driven initiative that aims to build trust and relationships within the UK jewellery industry.
Our Mission
The Jewellery Collective is on a mission to build a strong, active, diverse & member-driven community. A members association which is accessible to all, we aim to break down barriers, share valuable industry knowledge, build trust and foster business relationships within the UK jewellery industry. Our events and activities are designed to be safe and supportive spaces where people can network, learn from each other, and build relationships.
Community
The Jewellery Collective is a community-driven initiative that aims to build trust and relationships within the UK jewellery industry. We believe that the lack of social capital and peer support in the industry is a major barrier to innovation and growth.
Trust & Connection
Traditionally, trust in the jewellery industry has been built through personal relationships. However, as the industry has become more globalised, it has become increasingly difficult for manufacturers and retailers to meet each other in person. This has led to a lack of trust and connection, which has made it difficult for new businesses to enter the market and for existing businesses to grow.
Support
The Jewellery Collective is working to address this problem by creating a laid back but curated industry events that bring together jewellers, suppliers, manufacturers and retailers from all over the UK. Our events are designed to be a safe and supportive space where people can network, learn from each other, and build relationships.
Opportunity
We believe that by building trust and relationships, we can help to create a more vibrant, inclusive and sustainable jewellery industry in the UK. We are committed to supporting the opaque jewellery manufacturing and production ecosystem in the UK. We believe that our events will help to create new business opportunities, knowledge sharing activities and personal development growth for jewellers, suppliers, manufacturers and retailers collectively.
Why is professional networking important in the jewellery industry?
Social capital is the trust and relationships that exist between people in a community. It is essential for the smooth functioning of any industry, but it is especially important in the jewellery industry.
This is because the jewellery industry is a complex and fragmented industry, with many different players involved. In order for the industry to function effectively, these players need to be able to trust each other and to build relationships.
Education & Knowledge Sharing is Key to Growth
Improved innovation
When people share their knowledge, it can lead to new ideas and innovations. This is especially important in the jewellery industry, which is constantly evolving.
Better Customer Care
When businesses share their knowledge, they can provide better customer service. This is because they will be able to answer customer questions more effectively and provide more personalised service.
Increased Efficiency
By sharing knowledge, businesses can learn from each other's best practices and improve their efficiency. This can lead to lower costs and higher profits.
Stronger Relationships
When people share their knowledge, they build stronger relationships with each other. This is important in the jewellery industry, where relationships are essential for success
