About

A perfectly preserved jewellery workshop offering a unique glimpse of working life in Birmingham's famous Jewellery Quarter

Story

For more than 80 years, Smith & Pepper produced jewellery from this workshop. Explore this extraordinary industrial time capsule on a lively guided tour. Here you will find things left as they were on Smith & Pepper's last working day.
Gather round the main jeweller's bench to watch a demonstration of the traditional skills of this fine trade and discover what it was like to work here.
The Museum also has an interactive gallery exploring the 'Story of the Jewellery Quarter'. Find out why the close-knit trade became established over 200 years ago and how Birmingham got its own Assay Office. Glittering displays reveal a broad array of locally made fine and intricate products.
The 'Earth's Riches' gallery showcases jewellery made from material found in the natural world, from whale tooth and coral to diamond and platinum.

Really interesting step back in time. They provide brief tours that provide a thorough background of the era and the people who worked at and ran the jewelry factory. It also includes several demonstrations using the antique equipment to make simple jewelry right in front of you! I’m really glad I went and recommend it.

Excellent tour by Debbie, incredible place to visit. Kids loved it and really appreciated the effort put into the tour. Fabulous history and fascinating stories. Think if the amount of jewels created here. Wonderful visit thank you

I love to a guided tour with many interesting stories and information.

An interesting insight into how jewellery was made.
