The glass display showcases some of the most precious and expensive products. From jewellery exhibitions to fancy antique fairs, the glass display enables you to look and not touch.

We take a look at six of the most valuable exhibitions in the antique and jewellery industries that are viewed behind the glass.
The glittering Goldsmiths Fair
Often referred to as the king of jewellery exhibition events, the Goldsmiths Fair is held in September/October every year at the grand Goldsmiths Hall in St Paul’s, London.
This two week experience allows you to see a dazzling display of hundreds of independent designs in silver and gold with just about every piece of jewellery you can imagine.
Learn the past at the Sunbury Antiques Market
If you’re interested in learning about the past then look no further than the antiques market at Kempton Park Race Course.
With free admission and parking and more than 700 stands jam packed with historical pieces that are too expensive to touch, you really can’t get any better.
The world of unique crafts at the Origin
The Origin is the Craft Council’s contemporary fair held on an annual basis at Spitalfields Market. With an impressive number of jewellery, ceramics and texture displays with the tagline of “Made not Manufactured”, you will most definitely see a whole host of unique 21st century pieces behind glass.
This is a great exhibition for encouraging new ideas and innovations.
Collectors can enjoy Helmsley Antiques and Vintage Fair
This collectors fair is regarded as one of the best in the country. After it was first established back in 1979 it has become a popular event – and for good reason.
With a great selection of antiques and collectables there is plenty to see and enjoy during the five-day exhibition during Easter and New Year, so make sure you take plenty of time to look around!
Be part of the future with Craft Central Open Studios
Craft Central is a pioneering not-for-profit organisation that is dedicated to building a strong future for craft and design. Each year they hold a range of open studios where both members and the general public can meet the jewellery and craft designers in their studios and take a look at their latest collections.
Everything will be locked away in glass displays but it is most definitely a feast for the eyes.
Gloucester Goes Retro Festival
This festival takes centre stage every August bank holiday when the city of Gloucester goes back in time. Each street is themed to a different era, hosting classic and retro fashion items and garments.
Whilst many items will be available to touch and buy, the most expensive will be hidden away behind glass.
A stylish and contemporary display solution, the glass cabinet is a great way to display precious items that you’d like to keep safe.
