Jewellery Focus’ Tenth Anniversary
The very first copy of Jewellery Focus rolled off the press 10 years ago this month.Our publisher Mulberry Publications, always exploring sectors that might benefit from a fresh new offering, discovered a jewellery trade suffering from a lack of choice in publications – a dominant incumbent with an expensive subscription fee and a few smaller titles with an uncertain commercial future. It was felt that a new media brand with twice the circulation of any existing jewellery magazine, a sharp focus on what it really is to be and succeed as an independent jeweller, and best of all, free distribution to the reader, would be a breath of fresh air.
