What's the Story?
Hosted by comedian Katherine Ryan, ALL THAT GLITTERS is a competition to find Great Britain's next jewelry star. In a workshop in Birmingham, England's historic Jewelry Quarter, eight up-and-coming jewelers compete to create original pieces that are designed to dazzle. Each week they receive a challenge that requires them to work with a specific material, and use it to create an adornment that they've designed within a limited amount of time. Renown jewelry designers Solange Azagury-Partridge and Shaun Leane observe their process, and judge the finished pieces based on how well they are made, how creative they are, and their mass appeal. Challenges are also designed to satisfy a specific client, who choses the piece they're going to purchase. Each week a contestant earns the title of Jeweler of the Week, and another is eliminated. The final jeweler remaining becomes Britain's next great jewelry star.
Is It Any Good?
The fun series offers some insight into the craft of jewelry making while watching folks compete for a title and publicity. As the talented and polite jewelers design and create pieces that show off their unique styles and refined skills, brief explanations are offered about the jewelry-making process and how certain looks are achieved. Katherine Ryan doesn't always succeed at being funny, and it's not the most dramatic of competitions, but if you like jewelry or metal works, All That Glitters is worth checking out.
