Brilliantly Birmingham - International Contemporary Jewellery Festival is entering into its seventh year. Since 1999, it has grown from an informal group of local designer jewellery exhibitors who gathered together to market themselves under a single brand to an international contemporary jewellery festival attracting designer makers from across the globe. Birmingham and the West Midlands region are rich in contemporary jewellery talent and Birmingham’s historic yet thriving Jewellery Quarter is unique in the world. Brilliantly Birmingham’s aim is to celebrate and promote this distinctive character of the city/region under a brand that stands for innovation, quality and style.
 
Flux, a Brilliantly Birmingham curated exhibition will create exposure for the best of contemporary jewellery design through a highly visible and high profile public selling event in the Jewellery Quarter, Birmingham. A dynamic and ambitious exhibition of new and emerging designer makers will promote challenging and diverse new work, create a market place and contribute to the city as a visitor attraction. 
 
Brilliantly Birmingham will take place at a variety of venues across the city and region from 16th November – 23rd December 2006.  Flux is open to new and emerging designer makers, having no longer than five years graduated in their specialist field and based in the UK.  Participation in Flux is by open submission and a selection panel process. 

Brilliantly Birmingham will not charge designer makers an exhibition fee, public entry fee or commission on sold work.
