#WINNERS - Goldsmiths' Craft & Design Council Awards

Goldsmiths' Craft & Design Council Awards were held this week, presented by renown jeweller Leo De Vroomen with Princess Michael of Kent in attendance.

Morgan Morey of Dexter Seal Engraving

The awards, held at the Goldsmiths' Hall in London, are an annual celebration of the UK's goldsmithing, silversmithing and costume jewellery talent.  

Silversmith Christopher Lawrence accepted his Lifetime Achievement Award saying, "It's wonderful. I still get as much of a thrill out of a blank sheet of paper on my drawing board and a big sheet of silver on my bench as I did nearly 60 years ago." This from a man who has won the Jaques Cartier award three times in his 60-year career. 

Mark Hampson of Hampson Fine Jewels

Princess Michael of Kent, patron of The Goldsmiths’ Craft and Design Council addressed the crowd, "I've done a bit of jewellery designing myself, and I've certainly done a lot of wearing of it, so I was very pleased to go around and see the designs. It's fascinating to see how technology has become involved in a trade that has always been about handmade.

"This is a wonderful way to celebrate craftsmanship and design in the United Kingdom. Support and encouragement is needed and I'm encouraged and heartened to see such a vibrant and eclectic collection of designers."
