History of the JQ Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter contains Europe’s largest concentration of manufacturing jewellers, producing more than 40% of the UK jewellery output. Goldsmiths and silversmiths have been working in the area for more than 200 years, with the School of Jewellery founded in 1890. For most of its history the Jewellery Quarter was a closed community. There were no jewellery shops until the late 1970s when the economic recession prompted some of the manufacturers to start opening their doors to retail customers. Soon, other retailers moved into the area and in the 1980s old buildings started to be restored rather than pulled down. Today, the area has undergone further regeneration and many of the former factory buildings have been taken over by a mix of independent businesses and creative workshops or turned into quirky residential apartments. The Jewellery Quarter has one of the highest concentrations of listed buildings in the UK, at over 200 listed buildings in 1km squared. The area has been described by English Heritage as a "national treasure”.
