When the proprietors of the Smith & Pepper jewellery manufacturing firm retired in 1981 they simply ceased trading and locked the door, unaware they would be leaving a time capsule for future generations. Today the factory is a remarkable museum, which tells the story of the Jewellery Quarter and Birmingham's renowned jewellery and metalworking heritage. Explore this extraordinary time capsule on a lively guided tour. Watch live demonstrations at the jewellers' bench of the traditional skills of this fine trade, and discover what it was like to work here.
The Museum of The Jewellery Quarter offers a unique insight into the working life and history of the renowned Jewellery Quarter.
Spend a day (10am - 4pm) in an Adult Jewellery workshop, learning a variety of jewellery making techniques in Birmingham’s hub and home of Jewellery.
All materials and light refreshments are included and you will leave the workshop having made your very own silver spinning ring. It is an intimate class holding 10 people per workshop, so make sure you book in advance to enjoy a special day learning new jewellery making skills.
