The Birmingham 2022 medals, designed and made in Birmingham’s iconic jewellery quarter, are the shiny jewel like accolades that Commonwealth athletes will compete for. Designed by three female designers from Birmingham’s school of Jewellery and made by 200-year-old Birmingham company Toye Kenning and Spencer, they are a piece of history. The medals feature ariel maps of the canal and road network, symbolic of the many journeys of athletes and those that live in the Midlands.

The medals are also the first in Commonwealth Games history to have an adjustable ribbon. The design of the medal has been made with careful attention to the needs of para-athletes. Making them adaptable in length, and tactile to hold and touch, allows all athletes to wear and enjoy the medals, irrespective of disability.
