Come See Me in NYC & Portland"},"content":{"rendered":"

I will be on panels at two jewelry-related events in the next few weeks. First up is a New York Jewelers Group event on Tuesday, Sept. 26. I’ll be on a panel about how the jewelry industry and jewelry customers are changing.<\/p>\n

If you’re on the West Coast, you can catch me at the Portland Jewelry Symposium<\/a> on Monday, October 2. The Portland panel is about promoting custom design on social networks, something you longtime blog readers know all about! Register right now to get the early-bird rate of $195<\/a>. The price goes up to $245 starting this Wednesday, Sept. 13.<\/p>\n

Thanks to jewelry guru Peggy Jo Donahue for getting me involved in both of these discussions! I’m also excited that other industry friends will be there, including designer Marla Aaron<\/a> in New York and Monica Stephenson of ANZA Gems<\/a> in Portland. I’ve written a lot about Monica<\/a>, and how she is collaborating with miners, gem cutters, and jewelry designers to produce ethical and sustainable jewelry. She’ll be giving a session called “The Future is Responsible: Taking the First Step” in Portland.<\/p>\n

It will be fun to see Monica again so soon! She was in New York last week and we had a great time day-drinking and looking at her new gems.<\/p>\n
