Our Vision

Connecting the best of West Midlands creative talent of its jewellery designers, artisan and traders to verified customers and industry buyers across the globe.

Birmingham Buried Treasure was founded by Marcia Liu, herself a jewellery designer and entrepreneur and part of the West Midlands creative ecosystem. Marica brings her unique perspective to this venture, understanding first-hand the obstacles faced by those who are underrepresented in this industry. Her own personal journey fuels Marcia’s commitment to creating Birmingham Buried Treasure as a space that champions the West Midlands creativity, diversity and inclusivity.

Birmingham’s Buried Treasure is not just a business; it is a vision to redefine stories, making these as inclusive, representative, and powerful as possible. The vehicle to supporting a brighter, more inclusive future for the jewellery sector in the West Midlands, setting a guiding light for other entrepreneurs and across other regions and industries.

What We Are

The Birmingham Buried Treasure industry platform offers:

• Enhancing Visibility: A major hurdle for these artisans is the lack of exposure. Our platform showcases their work globally, introducing their unique creations to a wider audience beyond the local sphere.
• Facilitating Market Access: Traditional sales channels and major online marketplaces can be inaccessible or unsupportive of these jewellers. Birmingham’s Buried Treasure provides them with a direct line to consumers, removing barriers to entry and enabling a smoother path to market.
• Narrative Sharing: We believe that every piece of jewellery tells a story. Our platform is dedicated to sharing these stories, connecting the creators with their customers on a deeper level. This approach not only celebrates the artistry behind each piece but also the diversity and richness of the creators’ backgrounds.
• Economically Sustainable Empowerment: By offering a platform where these jewellers can sell their creative works which helps both the local economy and environment, we are contributing to their financial stability and, by extension, supporting the economic upliftment of their communities.
