This autumn sees the highly anticipated return of an ever more stylish Goldsmiths’ Fair, the UK’s leading luxury viewing and buying exhibition. Original precious metal jewellery and contemporary silver from 126 of the most exciting established and emerging gold and silver designer-makers will be on display from 26 September at the magnificent Goldsmiths' Hall, close to St Paul’s Cathedral.
