The Jewelry Symposium (TJS), previously known as the Santa Fe Symposium, Premier International Event for jewelry production technology, will be convened in Detroit Marriott Troy from May 17-20, 2025 with focus on avant-garde technology and sustainability.

“We had an unprecedented number of proposals and summons for 2025 and we are glad that many of our respected presenters will focus on timely and important issues such as sustainability and technology,” says Linus Drogs, chairman of the TJS Council. “We are grateful to the experts who will share the latest information about CAD, AI and Additive Manufacturing (3-D prints), as well as a group of professionals focused on the sustainability associated with the responsible supply chain and the tracking of colorful precious stones. “

The symposium will include presentations from leading experts around the world, taking care of a diverse audience of jewelers, designers, manufacturers, students, retailers. Among the technology sessions, Scott Bradford from Gesswein will explore CAD techniques and software for improved jewelry design, while Jenny Luker of Platinum Guild International (PGI) will reveal a new platinum alloy.
