I don’t think that my collecting days are over yet! What you will see is a mixture of favourites and brooches chosen because they represent a particular time or maker. It has been fun choosing my 40 Brooches spanning the four decades of Dazzle, some didn’t make the cut for various reasons. Unfortunately, there are ones that got away, which I still hanker after, either because I couldn’t afford them or more likely, because I let them go on display and they were snapped up by a customer I have always bought pieces that I like and will wear. ![]() Can you buy a piece of handmade, unique jewellery for £3 now? You could in the 1980s at Dazzle! I loved the colour and the fun of some of the pieces and it was good to be able to support and encourage some of the designers by buying a piece. Many of the pieces were non-precious and really low priced. Things that you would never see in a High Street jewellers. In the early days, it was all so exciting, seeing new things made from different and unusual materials. It is so easy to be tempted by all the lovely pieces we have in Dazzle but as the years have rolled on I have had to become more discerning. The Dazzle Personal Collection By Christine Bola What started as an interesting side line, developed into a lifelong commitment to showing and selling handmade jewellery by individual makers, often just graduated, in a wide variety of venues and introducing the general public to work, not seen outside specialist galleries. Tony Gordon and Christine Bola, the Co-founders of Dazzle, both feel very privileged to have been involved in the craft world and with so many wonderful makers for such a long time. These will be available to buy online at and at our Edinburgh Festival Dazzle at Dovecot Studios 7 – 29 August 2021. Alongside this we are showing 40 Brooches from our own personal collection dating back to our first exhibition in 1981 to the present day. Each one is catalogued in this blog post below. We have invited 40 makers from across the four decades to make and exhibit a brooch. As part of our 40th anniversary celebrations, we are excited to announce our 40 Brooches for 40 Years exhibition. It seems a long time since holding our first exhibition in 1981. This year we are celebrating 40 years of Dazzle exhibitions. ![]()
