Autumn Fair, the leading marketplace for home, gift, jewellery, and fashion, taking place from the 5th – 8th September at NEC Birmingham, will showcase a stunning array of National Association of Jewellers’ (NAJ) members keen to take advantage of the excitement for physical shows, face to face business, and new product inspiration.

Lindsey Straughton, Head of Communications & Industry Liaison, National Association of Jewellers says,
“I’m delighted to see trade fairs firmly back in the diary! The buzz of events is like no other and I’m looking forward to seeing our member brands and retailers at Autumn Fair as they strive forward to engage, network, and do business face to face.”
Julie Driscoll, Managing Director Retail, Fashion & Digital Marketing, Hyve Group plc adds,“
If the last year showed us anything beneficial it is how much people and businesses have missed face to face networking and it has given the industry a fresh appetite for physical shows. After the initial appeal of online meetings faded, the reality hit home that nothing quite beats the excitement and anticipation of entering a show bursting with inspiring products, and of walking up to a stand and seeing, touching, and experiencing beautiful designs in your hands.
"When you spend the day at a trade show you feel part of a community, you meet new brands and designers creating incredible things, you re-connect with people who run established and successful businesses, you explore and discover and come away with a renewed energy and excitement for the forthcoming season. I can’t wait to walk the show floor again and look forward to seeing our wonderful NAJ members again.”
Located in Hall 7, NAJ members include Siren Silver who are keen return to face-to-face shows. Caroline Scott from Siren Silver says,
“At Siren Silver we are so excited to be exhibiting at Autumn Fair, seeing our customers face to face and showing them our beautiful new jewellery ranges. We will be showing rough gemstones set in sterling silver as well as some special delicately faceted strings of beads and fantastic quality labradorite and rainbow moonstone rings, all stones selected before lockdown in India.”
Visitors will also discover the sparkling new collections from West Dorset based husband and wife team Reeves & Reeves. Their setting, surrounded by beautiful gardens, beaches, horses, wildlife, and countryside is a strong influence on their style, and their backgrounds in the fashion world and a love of travel also shine through. Quality is crucial to Reeves & Reeves. All silver is Assay Assured, and hall-marked when required, and gold is 18 carat gold vermeil. All precious stones are real and pearls are genuine cultured pearls.
