Jewellery Quarter Tourism

The Jewellery Quarter is an area of Birmingham, United Kingdom, renowned for its rich history in jewellery making. Covering over 200 acres, it contains Europe's largest concentration of businesses involved in the jewellery trade, producing 40% of all the jewellery made in the UK. The Quarter is not only a hub for the craftspeople and workshops but also a vibrant residential area, brimming with creative businesses, historic buildings, museums, and art galleries. It has been described as a national treasure with a particular charm and urban village feel, quite distinct from the surrounding city. Key attractions include the Museum of the Jewellery Quarter, the historic cemetery known as Warstone Lane Cemetery, and the Chamberlain Clock. Architecturally, the area boasts an impressive mix of converted factories and Georgian and Victorian buildings, evidence of the Quarter’s heyday during the Industrial Revolution. The Jewellery Quarter continues to thrive as a centre for craftsmanship and is a prime example of the ongoing conservation efforts to preserve Birmingham's industrial heritage, while also remaining a lively and innovative commercial district.
