The Jewelry Symposium (TJS)—formerly known as the Santa Fe Symposium—is set to return in 2025 with a fresh vision, bringing together global experts to discuss the future of jewelry manufacturing. Held at the Detroit Marriott Troy from May 17–20, the event will go beyond traditional metallurgy and craftsmanship, tackling key industry topics such as AI integration, responsible sourcing, and advanced manufacturing technologies.
A Record-Breaking Year for Innovation
With an unprecedented number of submissions, TJS 2025 promises to deliver groundbreaking insights from some of the most respected minds in the field. Linus Drogs, TJS Chairman of the Board, highlighted the event’s evolution:
“We are thrilled by the overwhelming response this year. Many of our expert presenters will focus on critical issues like sustainability, AI-driven design, and cutting-edge manufacturing processes. Attendees can expect deep dives into CAD, additive manufacturing (3D printing), and gemstone traceability, all essential for the future of ethical and efficient jewelry production.”
Technology, AI, and the Future of Jewelry Design
TJS 2025 will feature expert-led sessions catering to a broad audience, from bench jewelers and designers to manufacturers, students, and retailers. Some highlights include:
- Scott Bradford (Gesswein): Unlocking new possibilities in CAD software and digital jewelry design.
- Jenny Luker (Platinum Guild International): Introducing a revolutionary platinum alloy for the industry.
- Anne Miller (Consultant): Exploring the impact of generative AI on jewelry design and production.
- Joseph Strauss (HJE Company, Inc.): Showcasing innovations in sinter-based 3D printing.
Ethical Sourcing & Sustainability Take Center Stage
With growing consumer demand for transparency and sustainability, TJS will also address traceability in the colored gemstone supply chain. Notable sessions include:
- Eric Brauwart (Columbia Gem House): Breaking down the journey of gemstones from mine to market.
- Frank Cooper (Consultant): Investigating best practices for responsible sourcing.
By broadening its scope beyond metallurgy, The Jewelry Symposium 2025 aims to shape the next generation of jewelry manufacturing—where technology, ethics, and artistry intersect.
