“Innovation, technology and great jewellery design are at the heart of Weston Beamor’s services and the company employs a number of design graduates, especially in its CAD department. We like to think that we are constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible, so will be particularly interested in seeing how the jewellery and metal work students exhibiting at New Designers have made their own innovations.

CAD has an important role to play in jewellery production and it is only ever as good as the designers using it. As a business Weston Beamor is pledged to supporting new talent in every way it can which is why we are delighted to be back at New Designers,” says the company’s Head of Business Development, Glen Day.
