The talent competition about creating a jewellery piece from scratch, All That Glitters: Britain's Next Jewellery Star, premieres on British free-to-air television network BBC Two this week.
The show is hosted by actor Katherine Ryan. Eight British jewellers of varying ages from 23 to 56, backgrounds and experience go head-to-head twice in each episode, with their work appraised by Shaun Leane and Solange Azagury-Partridge. Each week, one contestant must leave the competition. "Lifting the veil behind the final product, viewers will have the chance for the first time on screen to see the challenges, craftsmanship, skill and emotion that goes into creating fine jewellery,” Leane said about the show.
The first challenge contestants faced is to make a trio of silver bangles for the mass market within three hours from a 1.2mm-thick sheet of silver, and next crafting a statement necklace for a real client, who is about to receive an MBE from the Queen.
