The Society of Goldsmiths, Jewellers and Kindred Trades was a trade union representing workers in the jewellery industry and related trades in the United Kingdom.

The union was founded in 1893, as the London Society of Goldsmiths and Jewellers. It affiliated to the Trades Union Congress and to the Universal Alliance of Diamond Workers. In the 1920s, it adopted its final name, and by 1950, it had 1,932 members. In 1969, it merged into the National Union of Gold, Silver and Allied Trades.[1][2][3][4]
