The annual Goldsmiths fair is now on in London with week 2  running from Tuesday, October 5 to Sunday, October 10

You can see Information on the fair from their website at http://www.thegoldsmiths.co.uk/exhibitions-promotions/goldsmiths'-fair/

But a summary is below

GOLDSMITHS’ FAIR is the ultimate one-stop destination for those seeking out jewellery and silver by the most exciting independent designer-makers in the UK.  Established in 1983 the Fair has grown in stature and allure and is now considered to be the most important, prestigious event of its kind in Europe.

Paul Dyson Director Promotion: “The Fair is a hugely important event to many designer-makers.  It obviously has considerable selling potential and presents an invaluable opportunity in terms of experience, exposure and direct contact with clients.  Equally significant is the huge benefits the makers gain from being and exhibiting together, not only in terms of camaraderie but also through networking and the sharing of ideas and skills.  The Fair also presents an exciting vision of the trade to the outside world.”

If you can easily get to the Goldsmiths Hall its worth a visit to look at the silverware on display.

Invest in silver now and you will be making a sound decision. The price of silver is continuing to increase along with other precious metal therefore those wise investors who have been buying silver for some time have seen their investments grow substantially.

It also lists what it calls its tested prescriptions for preserving 10 common kinds of family heirlooms. No matter what antique you collect its worth a read, just click the link below.
