About

The gallery specialises solely in contemporary jewellery, silver and metal smithing, showcasing diverse collections by over seventy renowned designers and emerging talents from Britain and abroad.

The gallery organises at least two major exhibitions each year, a number of which have been supported by funding from Arts Council England and the Crafts Council in recognition of the important role they play in showcasing the very best of British and International talent in Yorkshire and the UK.

Much of the work on display pushes and blurs the boundaries between art, jewellery design and fashion resulting in jewellery that is, perhaps, best described as wearable art. Pieces are often created using a surprising range of materials and techniques, because the work is all individually designed and produced, pieces can usually be adapted by the jeweller; similar or completely new work can also be commissioned.

Established at Salts Mill in 1996, the Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery has Yorkshire’s largest and most distinctive collection of contemporary precious jewellery and silversmithing.
