  Goldsmiths’ Craft & Design Awards 2013  
 
       
       In Britain, Princess Michael of Kent was among the guests to attend the annual Goldsmiths’ Craft & Design Council Awards, which were this year presented by renowned jeweller Leo De Vroomen. The awards, held at the Goldsmiths’ Hall in London, are an annual celebration of the UK’s goldsmithing, silversmithing and costume jewellery talent. Winners of the gold awards were Zoe Harding, Rebecca Howarth, James Dougall, Mafalda Manteigas, Mark Hampson, Morgan Morey, Richard Gamester, Adi Toch, Julie Ann Bull, Lynne MacLachlan, Natasha Bagnall, Victoria Freeman, Sarah Hooker, George Woodall, Wally Gilbert and Simon Coldicott .
       A Lifetime Achievement Award was given to silversmith Christopher Lawrence, a man who has won the Jaques Cartier award three times in his 60- year career. He took to the stage to give a brief message of thanks. He said: “It’s wonderful. I still get as much of a thrill out of a blank sheet of paper on my drawing board and a big sheet of silver on my bench as I did nearly 60 years ago.”

       Special speaker Princess Michael of Kent, who is an avid jewellery collector and patron of The Goldsmiths’ Craft and Design Council, took to the stage ahead of the awards ceremony to address the crowd and offer her congratulations on thedisplays of work at the hall.

She said: “I’ve done a bit of jewellery designing myself, and I’ve certainly done a lot of wearing of it, so I was very pleased to go around and see the designs. It’s fascinating to see how technology has become involved in a trade that has always been about handmade.
