The talk launches a new book, Watkins + Ramshaw: A New Vision published by the Goldsmiths’ Company, drawing together new research on both artists developed for an exhibition of the same name at Goldsmiths Hall in 2025.

Each curator will give a different insight into how these innovative modern designers consistently and successfully presented a new vision for jewellery in materials from paper to platinum which included fashion collections for London’s Swinging Sixties and major works and collections (represented in over 70 museums worldwide) which drew on the art and industrial technologies of the modern world.
