Jewellery display to showcase top young talent by Robert Sutcliffe

NINE graduates from this year's top jewellery talents are to showcase their work at an exhibition in Bradford next week. Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery will show tropical colours that light up dark days, rubber gloves as you've never seen them before, coffee cup stains that transform into necklaces, wire, nails and string which become beautiful and tiny chairs and forks symbolising a far-away home. From around the globe, the nine new graduates, all from British universities, present collections inspired by their diverse experiences and backgrounds. They include Leeds jeweller Jenny Uewellyn with her collection of rings and earrings inspired by the luminous colours, amazing shapes and movements of creatures from the deep. Her silicone pieces move with the wearer and glow in the dark. Refresh and Collectable 4 Christmas, an exhibition of contemporary jewellery, can be seen at Salts Mill, Victoria Road, Saltaire. They both run from Monday, November 12, to January 27. Salts Mill is open week days from lOam - 5.30pm and weekends lOam - 6pm. For further information call 01274 599790 or visit
