It may be a cliche, but the jewellery quarter really is Birmingham's hidden treasure.
A conservation area covering 265 acres with a 250 year history and containing 200 listed buildings, the quarter is gradually becoming gentrified with five independent art galleries, two museums and many of Birmingham's best restaurants and bars
However, the Jewellery Quarter is far from being a polished gem. It is a regeneration zone that is very much a work in progress and has around 100 derelict buildings and various sites crying out for development.
The quarter has arguably more history and character than any other part of Birmingham. First famous for toys, then buckles, until shoe lacing killed off the industry, the area finally became the home of jewellery manufacturing during the 1700s. The industry grew in importance and many of the buildings there today are from its glory days in the 18th and 19th centuries.
But industrial use, bomb damage in World War II and a lack of investment all contributed to a decline in the fabric of the area.
The Quarter remains an important centre for the jewellery trade. There are between 400 and 500 businesses in the area linked to the industry - including 100 jewellery retailers - and it makes 40% of all the jewellery manufactured in the UK.
"By 2010, the Jewellery Quarter (JQ) will be acknowledged as the
City Region’s Creative Village, an asset to both Birmingham and
the West Midlands. A truly unique area where design quality is an integral
feature of its renaissance. A Quarter with a vibrant atmosphere which
not only attracts people to work, live, play and visit but acts as a honey
pot for creative businesses ranging from the current jewellery business
base to arts and media".

The Birmingham Jewellery Quarter has been described by English Heritage as ‘a national treasure’ ... ‘a place of unique character’ ... ‘a particular combination of structures associated with jewellery and metalworking which does not seem to exist anywhere else in the world’. Like every other place the Jewellery Quarter is a product of its history, its unique character devolving from a unique combination of circumstances and historical processes.
St Paul's Church 50 metres from the development.
The Jewellery Quarter will have
a vibrant atmosphere where people work, live and visit. To achieve this
the Jewellery Quarter is undergoing major regeneration with many former industrial units
being re-developed or converted to attract new businesses and residents
into the area.
