Who we are
The Goldsmiths’ Company
A contemporary company with deep roots in the past, the Goldsmiths’ Company is a cultural institution and membership organisation – one of the Great Twelve City of London Livery Companies. Established in 1327 and now with over 1500-active members the Company has contributed to national life for eight centuries. In 2027, we will celebrate our 700th anniversary.
The Company advances the trade and craft of silversmithing and jewellery through training, exhibitions and fairs, and operates the London Assay Office which protects trade and consumers by testing and hallmarking precious metals.
The Goldsmiths’ Foundation is a charity (formerly The Goldsmiths’ Company Charity) focused on advancing creative, technical, and vocational skills, education and training in the craft and trade of goldsmithing, silversmithing and jewellery, the wider creative industries, and other fields, through grants, advocacy, and support to charity partners.
