The Jewelry Symposium Adds Half-Day to 2025 Show
TJS has added presentations to its now three-day event schedule, which will take place next summer in Detroit.

The event, a continuation of the Santa Fe Symposium, is slated for May 17-20.
It will begin with a networking dinner on May 17 followed by presentations from May 18-20.
TJS said it extended this year’s event schedule, which was two and a half days last year, to three full days because of an increase in proposals from jewelry experts wanting to give presentations.
“Now heading into our third year, we were delighted to receive an unprecedented number of abstracts from speakers who want to share their knowledge and expertise across a wide range of topics related to the art of making jewelry,” said Linus Drogs, TJS board chairman.
“The board and regular attendees all agreed to extend the schedule to allow for more presentations. There is truly something for everyone in the jewelry manufacturing business—students, veteran designers, manufacturers, and retail bench jewelers. TJS 2025 will be our most comprehensive event yet, not to be missed!”
The 2025 event will include presentations by industry professionals from around the world, speaking on topics such as metallurgy, the jewelry manufacturing process, additive manufacturing, gemstones, education and business, health and safety, AI, and design and CAD.
The speakers and their respective topics will be announced later this year.
TJS is open to bench jewelers, designers, manufacturers, students, retailers, and the press.
Its board members reviewed feedback from the 2024 symposium to ensure continuous improvement for its upcoming event, said TJS.
