Hello Sherry,

    Thanks for your message. I agree with you that trading information
    is a good idea. The only problem is that I said from europe because
    it was simpler than explaining that I am from the UK but have moved
    here to southern Portugal four years ago - so I don't have much info
    on continental europe. However I've put together  some information
    that might be useful to someone. 

    In the UK the Crafts Council supports all contemporary crafts
    including silversmithing and jewellery. They have a gallery in London
    and publish Crafts magazine monthly. Check out their web site which
    at the moment has info on an exhibition of amazing Japanese jewellery
    http://www.craftscouncil.org.uk This site also gives listing of craft
    galleries and shops in the UK and lists designer/makers. 

    There is also the ABDS (Association of British Designer
    Silversmiths) www.theabds.co.uk   which was formed in 1995 to promote
    the work of younger silversmiths in Britain. 

    Dazzle is another interesting site- www.dazzle-exhibitions.com   
    They organise shows of modern jewellery around Christmas-time and the
    summer in various cities. 

    In London there is Electrum, a jewellery gallery in South Molton
    Street, which is always worth a visit.  The OXO Tower Wharf
    http://www.oxotower.co.uk    which  has several young jewellers and
    enamellers and the Vicoria and Albert Museum has some new silver
    galleries and also a good collection of jewellery through history up
    to modern times. 

    In southern Portugal I have not found anything really interesting.
    In Lisbon there is a school of jewellery and  they had an interesting
    but small exhibition when I was there in November
    http://www.contactodirecto.org In Amsterdam, of course, there is the
    Galerie Ra. When I was searching for their address I came across
    http://www.metalcyberspace.com which lists places in both Europe and
    America that would be worth looking at. . Hope the above is some use,
    and perhaps others have more information on this subject? Regards,
    Margaret
