Scotland is quietly becoming one of the most interesting places to find modern jewellery.<\/p>\n

Its roots in jewellery design run deep, laid by the likes of pre-eminent silversmith Malcolm Appleby, as well as Dorothy Hogg and Jack Cunningham, who respectively led the jewellery departments at the Edinburgh College of Art and The Glasgow School of Art.<\/p>\n

Now, that legacy is expanding its international reach.<\/p>\n

\u201cScotland has always produced exceptional makers,\u201d says Keira Wraae-Stewart, founder of Aetla, a fine jewellery gallery that opened in Edinburgh in 2020. \u201cBut I think what has changed is the confidence and visibility of the contemporary jewellery scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scottish jewellers, she says, are carving out their own niches and building followings abroad, aided by a network of galleries, schools and events in Scotland that has grown far more robust in recent years.<\/p>\n

Among these she credits Elements Festival, an annual Edinburgh selling fair and exhibition last held in 2023, with raising the sector\u2019s profile, and highlights Craft Scotland\u2019s Harvest, a contemporary craft fair in the same city held for the first time in October 2025. She adds that the Scottish Gallery and a growing number of independent galleries and retailers are helping connect makers with collectors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
