Toronto International Jewellery Festival

Fashion May 15, 2013

by Anokhi Admin

It's the 1st Toronto International Jewellery Festival (TIJF)! This dazzling celebration of contemporary jewellery and metal arts from around the world is happening throughout the month of May at locations across the city. Whether you want to see the latest in jewellery design or you're looking to shop for a stunning new piece, TIJF is the place to be for art aficionados and fashionistas alike. Come see for yourself what makes Toronto the hub of Canada's diverse jewellery sector- from mining to market.

Where It's At

TIJF is a spectacular showcase of jewellery exhibitions and events at more than 30 venues, including leading museums like the Gardiner Museum and the Design Exchange, Harbourfront Centre, galleries and boutiques of Queen Street West, and chic shops in Yorkville. You'll even find pieces in the domestic and international departure lounges at Pearson Airport. Visit www.tijf.info for a complete list of locations.

See It

This is your chance to see the future of contemporary jewellery design from around the globe. Check out wearable art made of precious metals and gemstones, plus alternative approaches that use less common materials. For instance, A Little Bit of Clay on the Skin at the Gardiner Museum is an exhibition of cutting-edge jewellery made from ceramics, and Ferrous at 18Karat (www.18karat.ca/) is an exhibit of jewellery made from iron and steel. There's so much never-before-seen work coming to Toronto.

Shop It

Want to add a new statement piece to your collection? Looking to design a custom wedding or engagement ring? There are plenty of ways to express your personal style through jewellery available for purchase at TIJF. Get your shop on at boutiques and galleries such as Mindham Fine Jewellery, The Guild Shop, David Kaye Gallery, shopAGO, Studio Huddle, The Centre Shop at Harbourfront Centre, 18Karat, Jewel Envy, Zilberschmuck, Sandra Ainsley Gallery, and Made You Look. And don't miss the Trunk Show Sale at the Royal York Hotel on May 18th for cool work not available anywhere else.
