The British prime minister will be excluded from the European Union (EU) leaders’ discussion over the process of Brexit and its political and economic fallout across Europe.

British Prime Minister David Cameron arrived in Brussels on Tuesday afternoon to attend a two-day EU summit that will be dominated by the Brexit.

Before the summit dinner, Cameron said he will explain Britain’s decision to leave the bloc and he wants the process to be "as constructive as possible".

However, as showed in an EU Council invitation letter, Cameron is not among the leaders who have been invited to Wednesday’s meeting that will be discussing Brexit and its political and economic fallout.

The European Parliament also passed a resolution to urge Britain launching the exit process as soon as possible.

"We lost one big country, but still the EU has 450 million people. We are still a global player, and we have nine countries who want to become members of the EU. Britain’s leaving is not good, but it will not endanger the EU to survive and maybe to do even quicker, and better and more," said Jo Leinen, a member of the European Parliament.

Germany hopes Britain can remain in the European Union (EU), as the country’s head of state and many political analysts have called.

During a joint press conference after the talks with Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico a week ago in Berlin, the German Chancellor Angela Merkel said: “All aspects of the EU’s domestic market, and the benefits shared by all EU members, will no longer be available for Britain if it votes to leave. All forms of negotiations conducted by the EU, which is on behalf of all its 28 members will become the negotiations between the 27 members and a third party. I can hardly imagine what benefit would come out of this.”

Describing Britain as “a powerful partner and ally” to Germany in the EU, Tanja Boerzel, a professor with the school of politics of the Free University of Berlin, said that possible Brexit will disintegrate the EU, a scenario Germany does not want to witness, especially at a time when the EU is struggling with economic and political challenges.

"Britain’s referendum can’t be taken out of the context of what is happening in Europe, or even in the whole world. It is in relation to the fear of globalization. People worry about declining social status, living standards and cultural identification. However, these are the challenges that can’t be avoided in globalization, and the integration of Europe has been widely regarded as part of globalization," said Boerzel.

If Britain leaves the bloc, Germany will become the biggest victim of it, according to Boerzel.

"Southern European countries led by France stress on government’s interference to market, while German and Britain pursue free market. If Britain leaves the EU, Germany will lose an important partner in terms of economic perspectives and policies on national budget and expenditure. Compared with France, Germany shares more consensuses with Britain when it comes to economic policies," she said.

Some experts predicted that the UK would continue its membership in the European Economic Area (EEA) to continue its free trading with other EU members if it leaves the bloc. Boerzel, however, said the move is actually not the best option for the UK.

"The current problem is that how can the British government convince its people that it is a wise decision to stay inside the domestic market by accessing into the EEA after Brexit. However, that means Britain must join the Schengen area and must follow a lot more rules than the existing ones in domestic market, in other words, the excuses and reasons Britain has used to back up Brexit will eventually lead to heavier burden for Britain in the future," said Boerzel.

A public opinion poll conducted in Germany has shown that 58 percent of the German citizens who took part in the poll voted against Brexit, while only seven percent of the participants voted in favor.

London's River Thames became a battleground on Wednesday, when armadas from the 'Leave' and 'Remain' camps of the EU referendum campaigns clashed in front of the Houses of Parliament.

As dozens of boats gathered, both sides hurled insults at each other as startled politicians watched from the terraces of the parliament buildings.

Nigel Farage, the leader of UKIP, Britain's anti-EU political party, led a flotilla of 30 fishing boats from Ramsgate along the river as part of his call for Britain to take back control of fishing around the British coast.

"We are much better off out of the European Union. We will get our 200-mile fishing limit back. The Spanish are making a fortune out of our fish, and that is not right. We want that work for the North East of Scotland; it is very important," said David Coburn, a UKIP Member of the European Parliament (MEP) for Scotland.

As the convoy reached the Tower Bridge, they were greeted by a rival flotilla from the Remain campaign, led by rock musician and campaigner Sir Bob Geldof who backs staying in Europe. Geldorf shouted at Farage he was "no fisherman's friend" as the two traded insults across the waves.

Campaigners fired water hoses as boats circled each other, while Metropolitan Police boats intervened to keep both sides at safe distances.

The flotilla arrived just as David Cameron was delivering his final Prime Minister's Questions time in the House of Commons ahead of the June 23 referendum to decide if Britain should stay in the EU or leave.

Most of the questions fired at Cameron, from all sides of the chamber, were from Remain supporters.

Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne provoked anger, including a threatened rebellion from 57 of his own Conservative colleagues, when he announced an emergency budget in the event of a Brexit win in just eight days.

Osborne said that there would be a 30-billion-pound (42.5 billion U.S. dollar) cut in public spending to tackle a black hole in the economy, with the possibility of a 2-pence rise in the basic rate of income tax and a 3-pence rise in the higher tax rate.

Spending on police, transport, and local government could also be cut by five percent, warned the Chancellor.

Several polls released Tuesday showed the Leave campaign ahead of the Remain campaign by around seven percent, and Britain's best-selling newspaper, The Sun, came out in favor of Brexit. As for whether to leave the EU, different people have different views.

"If the so-called Brexit people win, there will be a legacy of very right-wing populist politics in this country which I think we have seen emerge during this campaign. It is not the sort of Britain I would like to see, and they are not the sort of people I would like to see running the country," said Harvey Morris, a former journalist for Financial Times.

"The EU Commission is unelected. They initiate the laws that come out of the EU and there is a question of where their direction comes from. I do not think that is clear or obvious, and it is just not democratic," said James, a London resident.

The outcome of the Brexit referendum has not only given worldwide markets enough reason to react to, it has also provided the Summer Davos enough rationale to ponder upon.

Participants of the summer edition of the World Economic Forum in China's Tianjin have to part with their scheduled timetable to specifically focus on Brexit and its impact on world markets and global economy.

"I do think the markets over the weekend and already on Monday when markets opening in Asia, followers around the world will be focusing on what happens next. How do we digest this? There is already a lot of political speculations, if not economic news but political news speculations out of Europe. Is it fast or slow and what does this mean? But I think it's important to put this into context. We view this now as a shock and surprise, but not a crisis," defines Michael Falcon, CEO of Asia Pacific, Global Investment Management at J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

Not quite along the same line, an industrialist from Britain itself shares his opinion with us.

"I think the issue for us is one of instability and uncertainty in businesses wherever they are; don't like instability or uncertainty for investment or jobs. We are a very strong business, and we will be a very strong business," says Larry Stone, president of Group Public and Government Affairs at BT Group which is a British multinational telecommunications service provider.

One financial analyst has offered to complete the two-pronged concerns.

"If certain affiliates choose to move out, then people in the UK who support those affiliates are going to lose their jobs. So to me, the big story is about the people, about the people of the UK," says Gary Coleman, managing director of Global Industries at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited.

At the annual Summer Davos are either policy makers themselves or their consultants; so price fluctuations and employment are their top concerns of course.

As the co-host of the forum, the chief of China's National Development and Reform Commission has aired his concern on the impact of Brexit on investment.

"The status quo may lead to a capital outflow, a plunge of asset prices, and a weaker exchange rate. Investing enterprises may face risks of falling asset prices and exchange rate fluctuations," says Xu Shaoshi, director of China's top economic planner.

The founder and executive chairperson of the World Economic Forum is more philosophical.

"I think it's too early to predict what will happen. I also would like to always remind myself it was not a vote of UK. It was mainly a vote of the older generation and it teaches us that the older generation may be more fearful about the future compared to the young generation which has voted much more in a poorer European in an open way," says Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum.

The three-day forum in Tianjin has to open an exclusive panel discussion on "After the Brexit" on its opening day, after Britain voted last Friday to leave the EU by 51.9 percent to 48.1 percent in the referendum.

"I think the issue for us is one of instability and uncertainty in businesses wherever they are; don't like instability or uncertainty for investment or jobs. We are a very strong business, and we will be a very strong business," says Larry Stone, president of Group Public and Government Affairs at BT Group which is a British multinational telecommunications service provider.

One financial analyst has offered to complete the two-pronged concerns.

"If certain affiliates choose to move out, then people in the UK who support those affiliates are going to lose their jobs. So to me, the big story is about the people, about the people of the UK," says Gary Coleman, managing director of Global Industries at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited.

At the annual Summer Davos are either policy makers themselves or their consultants; so price fluctuations and employment are their top concerns of course.

As the co-host of the forum, the chief of China's National Development and Reform Commission has aired his concern on the impact of Brexit on investment.

"The status quo may lead to a capital outflow, a plunge of asset prices, and a weaker exchange rate. Investing enterprises may face risks of falling asset prices and exchange rate fluctuations," says Xu Shaoshi, director of China's top economic planner.

The founder and executive chairperson of the World Economic Forum is more philosophical.

"I think it's too early to predict what will happen. I also would like to always remind myself it was not a vote of UK. It was mainly a vote of the older generation and it teaches us that the older generation may be more fearful about the future compared to the young generation which has voted much more in a poorer European in an open way," says Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum.

The three-day forum in Tianjin has to open an exclusive panel discussion on "After the Brexit" on its opening day, after Britain voted last Friday to leave the EU by 51.9 percent to 48.1 percent in the referendum.

The outcome of the Brexit referendum has not only given worldwide markets enough reason to react to, it has also provided the Summer Davos enough rationale to ponder upon.

Participants of the summer edition of the World Economic Forum in China's Tianjin have to part with their scheduled timetable to specifically focus on Brexit and its impact on world markets and global economy.

"I do think the markets over the weekend and already on Monday when markets opening in Asia, followers around the world will be focusing on what happens next. How do we digest this? There is already a lot of political speculations, if not economic news but political news speculations out of Europe. Is it fast or slow and what does this mean? But I think it's important to put this into context. We view this now as a shock and surprise, but not a crisis," defines Michael Falcon, CEO of Asia Pacific, Global Investment Management at J.P. Morgan Asset Management.

1. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, Brexit Party leader:

"Well a big win for the Brexit Party, that's very clear. A terrible night for the Conservative party, but look at Labour as well. Look at what the Brexit Party has done to Labour in Wales and the North East of England so this is a big, big message, a big wake-up call to Westminster. Will they listen?"

3. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, Brexit Party leader:

"If there was a second referendum the leave side would win again but the real issue here is, is we've got a deadline of the 31st of October. That is the date upon which we are supposed to leave the European Union, that's in five months' time and what we're saying, is, we've got a mandate now, we demand to be part of that negotiating team to get this country ready to leave whatever the circumstances."

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, Brexit Party leader:

"Firstly we're going to be in Brussels, secondly we've got some very high calibre businessmen and businesswomen used to putting deals together. We've got to get on with this. "

STORYLINE:

The first official British results in the European Parliament election bear out predictions of victory for the Brexit Party led by anti-EU campaigner Nigel Farage.

The tally from northeast England, the first of the U.K.'s 12 regions to report, gives the single-issue party, launched just weeks ago, 39% of the vote.

The left-of-center Labour Party, which has traditionally dominated the region, got 19% of the vote, down sharply from 2014.

The pro-EU Liberal Democrats, campaigning to stop Brexit, more than doubled their share to 17% of the vote, while and the governing Conservatives got just 7%, one point behind the Greens.

Many U.K. voters are apparently using the election to protest at Britain's Brexit deadlock.

Farage said from Southampton that the results show that his Brexit party now has "a mandate" to be "part of that negotiating team to get this country ready to leave (the EU) whatever the circumstances."

LEAD IN:

London has always been one of the world's leading lights in the fashion industry - but has Brexit dulled some of its shine?

At the Pure London fashion retail show - and with London Fashion Week on the horizon - brand owners and designers give their views on doing business in Brexit Britain.

STORY-LINE:

On the catwalk at Pure London it's business as usual.

The models strut their stuff to the music and packed crowds squeeze in for a glimpse of the latest trends.

But behind the flash and the glamour - is London still an attractive venue for fashion brands?

With Britain voting to leave the EU, and uncertainty hanging over all sectors of industry, the UK's fashion talent is preparing to weather the storm.

Maggie Song studied fashion in Beijing but came to the UK 13 years ago to make her name in the industry she loves.

In this time she has founded three labels, her most successful brand is Jolie Moi which can be found in some of the UK's largest department stores (John Lewis, Debenhams, House of Fraser).

She considers her business to be small to medium sized. Her clothes are designed in the UK but the materials and production happen in China.

When the result of the Brexit vote was announced she was on a business trip in Beijing and recalls her horror at hearing the news.

"I was shocked (when she heard the Brexit result). I couldn't think anything and also I couldn't speak, so, I was watching the exchange rate on the Internet, I can see the drop, the pound, this dramatic drop to the dollar and immediately I realised how tough it will be for small business," she says.

Song is expecting a tough 2017 as the low value of the pound starts to bite. She expects she will have to lower her margins to absorb the impact of Brexit.

But not everybody is suffering from the falling pound, according to Pure London's show director Julie Driscoll.

"So the exchange rate means for international brands it's really easy for them to enter the UK market, so more than ever before we're seeing international companies, international fashion collections wanting to come to the UK to explore opportunities and indeed this means this is our largest Pure London ever," she says.

One of the foreign fashion brands visiting Pure London for the first time is French jewellery maker Pas Si Sages Bijoux (Not So Wise) from Lyon.

Their funky, Bohemian-inspired jewellery is low/to mid priced and is all designed and produced in France. They are now looking to expand into the British market.

Chloe Chenu, the director of Pas Si Sages Bijoux, demonstrates the latest product - a back necklace.

She believes Brexit has not changed anything in the fashion world and thinks the UK is still a great place to do business... perhaps thanks to the eccentric English style.

"London is always the place for fashion, the most important in the world, even after Brexit, that doesn't change anything. We always come to sell products, English people are always eccentric and they want French products," she says.

It's the same story for Turkish designer Ece Kavran, whose range called Urun features minimalist, classic pieces.

She says London is still top of her list for places to do business because of its pace and willingness to try new brands. She says in France and Italy the market is much slower and more traditional.

"But England is an expandable market, it's forever open to the new idea, to the new brand, and I think that's what makes it, England, very compelling for us," she says.

But fashion is more than just sales and spreadsheets, it's about creating brands - and there is no bigger brand than a country itself. So has brand Britain been tarnished by its decision to leave the EU?

Personal stylist Justyna Szal is at the show to soak up inspiration for new season looks.

She is originally from near Krakow in Poland, but works in London - dressing and making her clients look as on trend as possible.

Szal likes the idea of Brexit and does not feel it has had any negative impact on London as a fashion hub. In fact, she's quite enjoying all the attention, with the eyes of the world turning to Britain.

"No, I haven't found it less interesting. I actually found it more interesting because of the whole situation people are starting to be more interested in the UK and I think actually it's a pleasant advantage and the fashion business hasn't been more in bloom than it is nowadays," she says.

According to an industry report, compiled by Inside Retail, fashion is worth 50 billion UK pounds (approx. 62 billion US dollars) per annum in the UK - the second most important retail sector only behind food.

The British Retail Consortium estimates that in October 2015, online accounted for 26.3 per cent of total clothing sales - even higher for footwear.

The UK is already the world leader in online fashion sales, leading France, Germany, Japan and the USA.

Keely Stocker is the editor of Drapers, a long-running fashion industry magazine.

In a typically British way, she thinks this is a time to keep calm and carry on.

"I think it's definitely a challenging time, mainly because of the uncertainty more than anything else," she says. "But I think those people that are doing well are the ones that are really focusing on their customer, focusing on their product and just getting on with it until we know exactly what that (Brexit) is going to mean."

One of those at the show who is hoping to do just that is Bilguun Brower, owner of Mongolian Kingdom.

He is buying high-end Mongolian woollen products and selling them in the UK. The fall in value of the pound is an issue he will have to contend with in the coming years, but Brower believes there is a strong market for his products in the UK because of its damp, cold climate.

Exhibiting for the first time, he is introducing his new line of yak's wool scarves.

Brower, and the other small British business owners at Pure, will all be hoping the UK can secure strong trade deals as quickly as possible.

Pure London is one of the leading fashion retail shows in the Europe, with over 11,000 buyers visiting the show between February 12-14.

2. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: What did you make of today's Supreme Court ruling?)

"Expected.The establishment stick with each other, so Parliament will have a say. But it's funny, isn't it? Because it's one of those rare times when Parliament said to us, the people, 'you decide', and the government made it perfectly clear they would accept the result, trigger Article 50, and get on with it. But here we have a judgement saying that it goes back to Parliament."

3. Farage during interview

4. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: What do you make of those that brought this case and ultimately won it?)

"Well, I think every attempt is being made by the establishment to delay and dilute Brexit. So this will come to the House of Commons fairly quickly, there'll be amendments to try and give us a second referendum, there'll be amendments to try and keep us in the single market. I don't know whether any of them are actually going to succeed, but I do think this: I do think that a fair-minded British public say 'look, we had a referendum, we had a result, what is it with so many of our MPs that they can't accept democracy?"

5. Farage during interview

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Nigel Farage, former UKIP leader, Member of European Parliament and pro-Brexit campaigner:

(Question: The court case wasn't really about accepting democracy though, was it? It was about the letter of the law and it being Parliament's job to trigger this process rather than the Prime Minister, wasn't it?)

"Well, I have to say that it seems to me that we have a House of Commons that represents the common people, but in this case the House of Commons said 'You the common people make this decision'. There's no point arguing after a legal case. It's done. It's done. But it's just the response to it that we've heard from Liberal Democrats, from SNP (Scottish National Party), and indeed from some sections of the Labour Party, saying they will use this vote and debate in Parliament as an attempt to try and delay and dilute Brexit."

STORYLINE:

Former UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage said he "expected" the Supreme Court ruling that Parliament must vote on triggering the UK's departure from the European Union.

Speaking on Tuesday outside the Houses of Parliament, Farage said he thought "every attempt is being made by the establishment to delay and dilute Brexit."

He said opposition parties may try to use the parliamentary vote to add amendments calling for a second referendum or to ensure Britain retains its status in the European single market.

A memo prepared by a consultant to the British government says ministers have no coherent plan for leaving the European Union and may need to hire up to 30,000 civil servants to complete the country's exit from the 28-nation bloc, the Times of London reported on Tuesday.

The newspaper said the leaked memo - prepared by a consultant for the Cabinet Office - says splits within Prime Minister Theresa May's team have delayed development of a negotiating strategy and that it may take another six months to come up with a plan.

The prime minister's office said "this is not a government report and we don't recognize the claims made in it."

Transport Secretary Chris Grayling told Sky News that he had not evidence of the kinds of leaks discussed in the leaked document.

"I'm a bit baffled by today's stories," he said in an interview on Tuesday.

The Times said the memo was written by a consultant on his own initiative, not at government request. The BBC also said it had seen the document.

The government says it will trigger two years of formal exit talks with the EU by March 31.

The memo, dated November 7 and titled "Brexit update," reportedly says that "despite extended debate among (department) permanent secretaries, no common strategy has emerged."

It says this is partly because May is "drawing in decisions and details to settle matters herself."

It says individual departments are working on projects related to Britain's exit - 500 in all - but that "there is no prioritisation and no link to the overall negotiation strategy."

On Tuesday British Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell said Labour would not seek a second referendum or block the triggering of Article 50, but said it was vital that the country had a clear vision of what future Brexit negotiations would entail.

"As a result of pressure in parliament, cross-party, but also pressure from the general public now, the government is going to have to come clean about its own vision," he said during a speech in central London.

May took office in July, after Britons voted to leave the EU.

She had campaigned to stay in, but has promised she will deliver on voters' decision to leave.

Her Cabinet contains both "remain" backers like Treasury Chief Philip Hammond and "leave" supporters including Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson.

The government has declined to say what sort of deal Britain will seek with the EU - including whether it will try to keep Britain in the bloc's single market for goods and services, something many British businesses desire.

"It looks as though even within government, half their government did not know what those negotiations comprised (or that they) were taking place even so we've got to get full openness and transparency.

Again we just want the best for the country and we will work with anyone to do that but the vision has to be absolutely clear and that vision cannot be individual deals that secure the benefits of a future Europe just for the rich - we've got to protect, for example, workers right, environmental regulations, we've got to ensure that we maintain the investment that comes from the European Union Investment Bank - we have a stake in that and to lose that some of the regions in our country would lose some significant investment for the future - so on all of those issues we will be looking for openness, transparency and accountability to Parliament but more importantly accountability to the British people."

Author Thomas Harding is in the process of doing what the descendants of many Holocaust victims would find unimaginable: applying for a German passport.

When Britain voted to leave the European Union in June, the 48-year-old had to make a decision that was never necessary before the referendum - should he request the restoration of German citizenship stripped from his family by the Third Reich? He needed only a few hours to make up his mind.

“This is more than the practical, this is also about something for us, or for me, it's about something spiritual, it's about reconciliation,’’ he said. “It's about acknowledging the truth of the horrors of the past but also about trying to build a better future together, and as a European, that's what I hope to do."

It is one of the complicated realities of the UK’s pending divorce from the EU that many Britons whose ancestors came from other parts of Europe are claiming citizenship in other member states so they can retain ties to the Continent. Inquiries about passports are up at the German, Austrian, French and Polish embassies.

Some want to retain the ability to travel easily from country to country or maintain business ties. Others just want to be part of the European Union.

But for Jews whose families fled Germany to escape Adolf Hitler, the decision means re-examining long-held beliefs about history and the country that once persecuted them.

The children and grandchildren of Jewish refugees are taking advantage of a law that allows the descendants of people persecuted by the Nazis to regain the citizenship that was stripped from them in the 1930s and 1940s. More than 400 Britons have sought information about the law since the June 23 referendum, and German authorities have received at least 100 formal applications, compared with about 20 annually in recent years.

Michael Newman, chief executive of the Association of Jewish Refugees, said Brexit has fuelled interest in German citizenship, but it’s hard to know how many people will actually apply. Jews are now able to consider such a step because Germany has made huge strides in addressing the past, creating a culture of remembrance, he said.

“No amount of blood money or memorials will satisfy or suffice for some people but in terms of addressing its past and owning up to it and looking into things, it's done much that many other countries haven't,’’ said Newman.

Many of those seeking restoration of their citizenship don’t intend to live in Germany, but want the freedom to travel and work in EU nations.

Ben Lewis, a 49-year-old documentary filmmaker, is among those who would like to regain German citizenship.

Lewis, whose film and production company has worked for years on the continent, sees the potential of Brexit as an abomination, particularly the anti-immigrant sentiment that influenced many people to vote to leave.

“I just want to take a firm stance, a documented stance etched in acid on stone, that I object to Brexit," he said.

The decision for many might have been prompted by Brexit, but had been years in the making for some. Harding, for one, has long been coming to terms with his German past, a journey documented in part in his book, “The House by the Lake.’’

The way Harding sees it, Germany is now showing leadership by taking in over a million refugees.

As the result of the EU referendum became clear on the morning of June 24, Harding was on the phone to the German embassy to inquire about citizenship.

It’s logical, he says, for Jews to cling to the EU, which was created to build international links that would make another European war impossible.

“It was much less about saying goodbye to Britain than saying hello to Europe," he said.

"I think what has happened to me is I have become much more open towards Germany and at the same time following Brexit, I realised that there was going to be a very real loss. It was likely that me and my family would be unable to live and work in 27 countries in Europe and given the fact that I didn't have to give up my British passport, I didn't have to live in Germany by necessity or learn German, show I could speak German, it didn't seem like there was anything to lose and so for me, it was much less about saying goodbye to Britain than saying hello to Europe."

I love Berlin - I could imagine living there. Perhaps that would happen in the future. And I just want to take a firm stance, a documented stance, something etched in acid on stone, that I object to Brexit."

"Well I think this is uppermost in the minds of the government that they are not going to walk away from any post Holocaust responsibilities and I think most people would look at what Germany has done since the Second World War in terms of addressing its past, the culture of remembrance, the educational resources, it's committed to teaching about the holocaust and see that what it has done has been leading the way and if you look at issues like restitution, archive, opening archives, documentation centres, even opening and creating museums, they are, they're leading the way in many respects in dealing with their history. It remains of course very subjective because no amount of blood, money or memorials will satisfy or suffice for some people but in terms of addressing its past and owning up to it and looking into things, it's done much that many other countries haven't."

The UK jewellery market has not lost its sparkle despite the Brexit vote, according to experts at the International Jewellery London show.

A weak pound, innovative design and a diverse marketplace for suppliers are just some of the reasons the UK jewellery market is thriving.

STORY-LINE:

Sparkle and shine at the International Jewellery London show.

Precious gemstones drip from the stands at this important jewellery trade event.

The diamonds and gold on show haven't lost any of their shine or lustre, but what about the jewellery market in post Brexit Britain?

Despite the vote to leave the European Union earlier this year, the industry reports it has not felt any repercussions.

Michael Rawlinson is chief executive of The National Association of Jewellers, the main industry body in the UK.

He says: "The British market actually has responded quite well post Brexit at the moment, people have some level of certainty, even if it is leaving the European Union, so we've seen a strengthening of trade in the last couple of months."

With innovative designers continuing to emerge from the UK's most important jewellery schools in London and Birmingham, he believes 'brand Britain' is as strong as ever.

"The challenge for the UK jewellery market post-Brexit is to actually promote made in Britain, we have a tremendous heritage here of craftsmanship and quality and we need to make sure that the product we make is identifiable around the world very clearly, that it's originated from and has been made in Britain," he says.

A good example of this innovation is London-based designer Joanna Boyen of Biiju.

She is proudly showing off her new explosion ring, which she claims is her own unique design and seen nowhere else.

"So they're called explosion rings and what's special about them is that there are 21 individual briolettes, that's cut with multiple facets all over them, and we thread each one on individually so that they move, they shimmer when you move and catch the light," says Boyen.

And the future of jewellery design talent in the UK looks to be in safe hands.

The show is promoting the stars of tomorrow in its section Bright Young Gems.

Katy Tromans just graduated from Birmingham City University with first class honours. She is now showcasing her latest collection of fairytale inspired silver rings.

This silver ring is hidden inside a model of Rapunzel's tower, which doubles-up as an ornament.

"So the main idea is that it's a silver ring and you have somewhere to keep it when you're not wearing it so it becomes part of a sculpture. So they all just come apart, so it comes off, then you can take the ring out and you can wear it, then you can put it back together and keep it on your side as an ornament, so it's that kind of thing," says Tromans.

She also has Alice in Wonderland and Moby Dick inspired creations.

But are the international jewellery makers and suppliers buying the brand Britain message?

High-end jeweller Sokolov from Russia is attending the show to launch its new Kaleidoscope range.

Global sales director Andrew German says Brexit has not had a negative impact on Sokolov's approach to the British market.

"Despite Brexit, the British market - in the global sense of this word - is still a part of the larger European market. The wealth of British people is still increasing and it allows demand for jewellery to rise as well. And British people want to try new things, new brands, some novelties and innovation in this industry. This is why we believe for the international players it's a good chance to get into the (British) market," he says.

Business activity in Britain rebounded in August, injecting some optimism into the debate on how Britain is faring after the vote to leave the European Union.

The purchasing managers' index jumped to 53.2 points, reversing a record fall to 47.4 in July experienced after the June 23 referendum.

But the index showed the Eurozone lost some economic momentum in August, largely because of a slowdown in Germany - an unexpected fall.

According to the show's organisers, the Brexit vote has done little to dissuade international exhibitors from attending International Jewellery London.

Event director Sam Willoughby says the show features exhibitors from Brazil, Denmark, Russia, Germany, Portugal, Australia, Spain, Sweden, Italy and the Netherlands.

"So this is the first show since Brexit and whilst we've always got concern about what is going to happen in the future, and we can't predict that, we've seen just as many international exhibitors and visitors than we've ever had before. In fact, internationally we've had people representing France, like Galeries Lafayette and Printemps, people as far away as Russia and Middle East, all wanting to attend a show like this," she says.

"The reason being, for a supplier coming into an event like this, being able to enter into Europe through UK is actually quite an easy process to do because you've got so many channels to actually be able to go and sell, whether it's an independent boutique, multiple retailer, department store, gallery, it's quite endless and that gives them a good route into the market and into the rest of Europe, whether we are part of the EU or not."

Of course, a weak pound is also likely to be influencing those who are ready to spend thousands of pounds on high-end jewels.

But to prove it's not all about the bling at International Jewellery London, British designer Joanna Bury is polishing her perspex - that's right, plastic.

Bury used to design lingerie but recently switched to jewellery. The lacy, filigree designs are laser cut into perspex and have echoes of the fabrics she used to work with.

In the future, Bury hopes to start using more 3D printing technology to make it easier for her to produce her designs and sell them around the globe.

"The challenges for the UK jewellery market post-Brexit is to actually promote made in Britain, we have a tremendous heritage here of craftsmanship and quality and we need to make sure that the product we make here is identifiable around the world, very clearly, that it's originated from and has been made in Britain."

"So they're called explosion rings and what's special about them is that there are 21 individual briolettes, that's cut with multiple facets all over them, and we thread each one on individually so that they move, they shimmer when you move and catch the light."

"So the main idea is that it's a silver ring and you have somewhere to keep it when you're not wearing it so it becomes part of a sculpture. So they all just come apart, so it comes off, then you can take the ring out and you can wear it, then you can put it back together and keep it on your side as an ornament, so it's that kind of thing."

20. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) Andrew German, global sales director, Sokolov Jewellery:

"Despite Brexit, the British market - in the global sense of this word - is still a part of the larger European market. The wealth of British people is still increasing and it allows demand for jewellery to rise as well. And British people want to try new things, new brands, some novelties and innovation in this industry. This is why we believe for the international players it's a good chance to get into the (British) market."

22. SOUNDBITE: (English) Sam Willoughby, event director, International Jewellery London:

"So this is the first show since Brexit and whilst we've always got concern about what is going to happen in the future, and we can't predict that, we've seen just as many international exhibitors and visitors than we've ever had before. In fact, internationally we've had people representing France, like Galeries Lafayette and Printemps, people as far away as Russia and Middle East, all wanting to attend a show like this. The reason being, for a supplier coming into an event like this, being able to enter into Europe through UK is actually quite an easy process to do because you've got so many channels to actually be able to go and sell, whether it's an independent boutique, multiple retailer, department store, gallery, it's quite endless and that gives them a good route into the market and into the rest of Europe, whether we are part of the EU or not."
