This August, Dazzle, the UK’s leading contemporary jewellery exhibition, returns to Dovecot Studios for its 42nd year as part of the Edinburgh Festival.
Founded in 1981 and first shown in Edinburgh in 1983, Dazzle has become a much-anticipated highlight of the festival calendar. Celebrated for championing independent design and pushing the boundaries of wearable art, Dazzle has exhibited work by over 2,000 jewellers across four decades—from industry icons to the next generation of makers.
