Jewellery /jewelry designers call to arms

It has been a while since my last post because I have been rather busy developing a new site.
It's not completely finished, there are still plenty of features to be added etc, but I am now at the stage where I could do with some responses from a second party, as it's very easy to get stuck in a design rut.
The new site hopes to be a number of things:

  • A place to find contemporary handmade jewellery.
  • An information resource.
  • A community, where contemporary jewellery designers can show off their latest work, exhibitions etc.
Things I still have to do with it...
  • Add more items. (Update: getting there slowly)
  • Add a commenting system.
  • Proof read.
  • Translate most of the core content.
  • Optimize the URLs.
  • Set up site feeds.
  • Loads of other bits & bobs.
I would be grateful if people would take a look, see if they "get it" and can find their way around.

Update (4th Sept '08)
I have been very disappointed at how slowly things are moving along. Either I haven't made myself well understood, or I have misjudged people's enthusiasm for free promotion on what I hope is a nicely presented information portal for contemporary jewellery.
I have since seen so many other "great ideas" which have fallen flat: but will battle on until the penny drops!

Update (3rd Jun '09)
Today we added the Global art Jewelry / jewellery conversation page on the HCJ Project main site.
I have added the conversation gadget to the sidebar here on my personal site's blog as well as on Soldering-on.
I'm hoping that some other "brave souls" will want to add the gadget to their sites, so that we can converse with each other from lots of jewellery sites across the web!
There is also a forum thread if you would like to talk about how using the gadget works.
