Jewellery Quarter website is launched

A new website has launched to enable visitors and residents to discover more about Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter and the businesses in the historic area.

The website – www.jewelleryquarter.net – features a directory of jewellery businesses as well as shopping tips on things to look out for when buying jewellery.

The site also contains blogs by jewellery designers and the Jewellery Quarter Regeneration Partnership, which created the site, and a dedicated area for local businesses to access trade information.

Marketing Birmingham chief executive Neil Rami, who supported the website, said: “This initiative is very timely.

“Given the economic climate, it is much more likely that we will see people choosing to stay closer to home over the coming months.

“The oldest working Jewellery Quarter in Europe provides a unique reason to choose Birmingham over other UK cities.”
