School of Jewellery 2020 graduating students of our courses in Jewellery, Silversmithing, Gemmology, Horology and International Jewellery Business. This years’ graduate exhibition catalogue showcases our students work and how they have explored processes and materials to push the boundaries of their discipline. The work contained within these pages is testament to the perseverance and creativity of our students as well as the dedication of our staff, in a year when the Covid19 pandemic challenged us all. 2020, as an epoch, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”, to quote Dickens. At the beginning of the year we had a great deal to celebrate as a School and be rightly proud of. The year began with Birmingham City University receiving an incredible accolade, the Queen’s Anniversary Award for Higher Education. The award recognised the School of Jewellery’s proud history of innovation spanning 130 years and in particular a submission focussing on the past thirty years of work since our 1990 centenary. The Queen’s Anniversary Prizes are awarded to recognise outstanding work by UK colleges and universities, which show quality, innovation and deliver real benefits to the institutions and the wider world. The same month the School of Jewellery also won the Goldsmiths’ Craftsmanship and Design Council ‘College Trophy’ for the most prize-winning entries from any UK college for a fourth consecutive year at the Goldsmiths’ Hall in London. This is one of the highest national benchmarks for excellence judged by industry and academic experts across the fields of silversmithing, jewellery and the allied crafts. We are proud of our students’ achievements and are working closely with all national partners and universities to support our 2020 graduates and continue to support them as our alumni. Our last last weeks of teaching were online as the school, like all universities in the UK had to close because of the pandemic. Never the less teaching continued on-line to complete the year and we are continuing to support our students with ways to realise their final collections and design portfolios. We are all immensely proud of their achievements, as I am sure you will be as well. Professor Stephen Bottomley Head of Institute Jewellery, Fashion and Textiles
BSc (Hons) Gemmology and Jewellery Studies The BSc (Hons) degree in Gemmology and Jewellery Studies is a unique undergraduate degree. Developed in 2014, it has two levels of entry - students can either enrol on the traditional three-year degree, or those who already have the appropriate professional qualifications from the Gemmological Association of Great Britain (Gem-A) can apply to study year three only, to gain the BSc (Hons) degree. Students learn through both theory and practice to identify a wide range of natural gemstones, as well as learning to detect treated, synthetic and imitation stones. Students also learn to grade and assess diamonds to a professional standard. Of significant commercial importance, the course also includes modules that involve learning and practising the techniques for assessing and calculating the value of gems and jewellery. The third year concentrates on advanced analytical testing and analysis techniques that bridge the gap between existing gemmological training, and the advanced gemmology practised in international gemmological laboratories.

BA (Hons) International Jewellery Business The BA (Hons) International Jewellery Business was established in 2017. The course has two levels of entry - the three-year degree and the 2+2 pathway; for those who have qualified to study from year two. International Jewellery Business aims to equip students with theoretical and applied methodologies in management and marketing practices, applying them to specific jewellery instances and preparing undergraduates for future employment. One strong distinction of the IJB course is the strong relationship with the UK’s Jewellery Industry. Students will visit the trade ‘behind the scenes’, develop and propose strategies for business case studies, participate in live projects and engage in work experience opportunities. Through combining study skills with ‘real-life’ situations students are able to better understand opportunities and challenges faced by manufacturers and retailers. The first year includes an elected module introducing Diamonds or Gemmology. The second year fosters networking opportunities through connections with jewellery businesses and the third year develops skills in forecasting and academic researching, which supports the students’ final dissertation research topic.

Facilities Our multi-award-winning Vittoria Street building houses a range of traditional-style workshops, alongside state-of-the-art technology and boasts an enviable exhibition space to showcase the work of our students, graduates, and to use as a venue for jewellery related conferences, symposia and external exhibitions. Our workshops which feature authentic jewellers’ work benches are complemented by design studios. The Horology workshops are equipped with specialist tooling and precision lathes for the renovation, servicing and creation of watches and clocks. These are available between 8am and 8pm on weekdays. Each studio workshop has access to one of the process workshops, which contain larger equipment such as soldering hearths, polishing machines and other powered equipment. The basement of the School of Jewellery acts as a conventional tool room with machines such as lathes and milling machines and specialist casting and electroplating workshops. There is also a tool and material store to keep your resources topped up. At the heart of the School is a technology centre with a CAD suite, extensive CADCAM and Rapid Prototyping facilities, laser scanning equipment and a state-of-the-art laser sintering machine which prints in precious metal. The School also has a newly refurbished enamel studio Our St Paul’s site houses a new expanded library, computer suite and seminar room. Our design and making spaces at Vittoria Street benefit from three enhanced design studios and our beautiful historic main hall has become a revitalised space to work and relax in with access to laptops for loan. The ‘Vitt Street Gallery’ has a lively programme of international exhibitions throughout the year, often in collaboration with ‘Talking Practice’ events spanning the breadth of our field.
