Big news for Birmingham – and especially for the creative heart of our city. The Jewellery Quarter has officially been awarded World Craft City status, joining a prestigious list of only eight cities in Europe to hold this title.
This is more than just a badge of honour. It’s a celebration of centuries of craftsmanship, a nod to Birmingham’s unmatched skill in jewellery making, and a well-deserved spotlight on the 600+ independent businesses that make the Quarter the vibrant, creative hub it is today.
At The Colour Palette Company, we’ve always had a soft spot for the Jewellery Quarter – and we’re proud to showcase it through our Jewellery Quarter Colour Palette mug. It’s more than just a pretty design (though we love the elegant mix of golds, greys and rich tones) – it’s a tribute to a place steeped in history, artistry, and innovation.
Whether you’re a Brummie born and raised or a proud adopted local, there’s something magical about strolling through the streets of the JQ – where tradition and creativity go hand-in-hand. From master jewellers and designers to watchmakers, engravers, and independent makers, the Jewellery Quarter is a community that never stops creating.
We created the Jewellery Quarter Colour Palette to honour that spirit – to capture the elegance, the heritage, and the grit of this special place in a way that’s both beautiful and meaningful.
So, here’s to the makers, the craftspeople, and the storytellers who make the Jewellery Quarter what it is – and to this new recognition that puts Birmingham’s creativity on the global map where it belongs.
Celebrate the moment with us – explore the Jewellery Quarter Colour Palette and bring a piece of Birmingham’s brilliance into your daily brew.
