These jewelry industry luminaries will engage in a lively discussion defining the new luxury and its implication towards recent customer demand in jewelry design, examining how the current state of affairs has influenced designing techniques, use of exotic materials, and adoption of ethical and sustainable sourcing. The panel will also consider what makes people gravitate towards a particular gem, while educating the audience on how to select jewelry to complement their personal style. The audience will discover how to advance from viewing jewelry as only a fashion accessory into creating a world class jewelry collection rivaling Elizabeth Taylor’s. The audience will also learn how to make long term investments with their jewelry choices.
