About this ACJ site
ACJ celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2017. There is a lot of information on this site.
Back issues of our print magazine Findings may be seen here
The Vaults contain images and records of our exhibitions and events, plus an archive of jewellery articles.
Logged-in members can read the monthly e-bulletins with news and opportunities, plus discount codes and other useful stuff.
Donate to the Muriel Wilson Fund
In memory of our Founder member, Findings Editor and Secretary Muriel Wilson, ACJ has set up the Muriel Wilson Fund. This will be used for bursaries to ACJ members to support travel with the purpose of research into contemporary jewellery.
How to donate to the Muriel Wilson Fund
The first round of applications resulted in two bursary awards, and articles will be published in Findings.
There will be another invitation to apply in January 2020.
