Jewellery Maker is a British jewellery shopping channel. It is the first channel of its kind to focus solely on making your own gemstone jewellery through purchasing kits and making it yourself. The presentation and format of the channel is similar to the crafting channel Create & Craft. Jewellery Maker is available on Freesat, Sky and online. The channel operations are based at Rocks TV's former studios in Warwickshire. The channel currently broadcasts live from 9am to 9pm. It rebroadcasts the live shows during its downtime. The channel's website live streams all programming, as well as providing video tutorials and workshops. With a staff of over 100 people, the company is based in Redditch, in the West Midlands.
Jewellery Maker was launched on 1 May 2010 after The Colourful Company Group successfully purchased the Thomas Cook TV EPG slot on Sky. For the first 2 months, the channel broadcast solely pre-recorded shows. On 7 July 2010, Jewellery Maker started broadcasting live, due to the completion of the sale involving rival channel Gems TV. Jewellery Maker is currently using the former Rocks TV studio, after it moved into the former Gems TV 2 studio following the acquisition of Gems TV UK Limited.
On 10 August 2010, Jewellery Maker launched on Freesat channel 807. On 8 September 2010, the channel also launched on Virgin Media channel 756, replacing Gems TV 2.
In 2015 the Immediate Media Company acquired Jewellery Maker from the Genuine Gemstone Company, adding to Immediate's Craft and Arts portfolio.
Following the acquisition of a 24-hour Freeview slot for Gems TV in 2011, Jewellery Maker began to broadcast on Freeview channel 43 during its live hours (9am-1pm), as Gems TV was broadcast as a teleshopping block on 5* during this period; channel 43 relayed Gems TV between 1pm and 9am.
