All That Glitters judges: Meet jewellery designers Solange and Shaun on the BBC show
Everything you need to know about All That Glitters judges Solange and Shaun.
We've had baking, sewing, gardening and pottery reality competitions, and now BBC Two is tackling jewellery in All That Glitters: Britain's Next Jewellery Star.
We're five episodes in at this point, and approaching the end of the series, which is hosted by The Duchess star Katherine Ryan. The show follows a group of up-and-coming jewellers as they try to impress two of the biggest names in the business with their bracelets, bangles and brooches.
With just four All That Glitters contestants left in the competition, tonight's episode will see the remaining jewellers work with precious gemstones for the chance to secure a spot in next week's highly-anticipated final.
But who are the All That Glitters judges Solange Azagury-Partridge and Shaun Leane? Here's everything you need to know about the jewellery experts.

She has also worked with some of the biggest designers in the world and designed jewellery for films, including 2009's Snow White and the Huntsman.
“It’s such a mystery when you start out in this business," she says. “It’s so painstaking, every part of it, and you have to put so much thought and energy into it. If you don’t have a passion for it, you’re not going to last.”
All That Glitters airs on BBC Two on Tuesdays at 8pm. To find out what else is on TV, check out our TV Guide or visit our hub for more Entertainment news.
