Children’s ‘Cambridge Inspired’ Community Design Competition

Channel your child’s creativity with our Sterling Silver pendant design competition.

  • 6th September 2024 - 25th October 2024
  • 10:30 am - 5:00 pm

From the 6th September, we’re inviting local young artists to design a bespoke “Cambridge Inspired” pendant. We’re a community surrounded by a wealth of history and beauty, and our designers would love to see what aspects of Cambridge your child’s favourite are. They can choose any inspiration from the area -perhaps King’s College, the river and punts, the landscape, the corpus clock or even a favourite café- the sky’s the limit. Once they have a design in mind, they can get creative and draw it on the design template provided.

All entries are completely free, and each design will be displayed in our Cambridge studio and shop for all passers-by to admire. The competition will close on the 25th October, and the winner and runners up will be announced the following week. The winning artist will be invited to have a design consultation with our Senior Designer, Amy Vinn. Together they will finalise design layout, which our talented goldsmith will later bring to life by hand engraving it onto a Sterling Silver disc pendant (with a chain) as their winning prize.

This is the perfect activity to kickstart the new autumn term, and to get the family exploring the area. And of course, a chance to express their artistic side through jewellery design. Once they have completed their design, please pop their finished template, (along with the contact details form), to our Harriet Kelsall Bespoke Jewellery studio and shop at 6/7 Green Street CB2 3JU.

Don’t forget, the closing date is 25th October

We look forward to seeing your creations!
