(PRESS RELEASE) The Jewelry Symposium (TJS), the jewelry industry’s annual international event dedicated specifically to the advancement of jewelry manufacturing technology, announced that registration is now open for next year’s edition, to be held at the Detroit Marriot Troy from May 17 to May 20, 2025. Following its successful new scholarship program in 2024, TJS has also announced it is now accepting scholarship applications from students and aspiring jewelers wishing to attend the 2025 symposium, thanks to generous sponsor Studio 2015.

“We welcome new participants for 2025, and the entire board is thrilled by both the quantity and quality of esteemed speakers who will be joining us,” says Linus Drogs, TJS Chairman of the Board. “We are grateful to be able to offer scholarships again this year, and we are purposely starting the process much earlier to give awardees plenty of time to plan for their attendance.”

Now in its third year, TJS board members received more abstracts than ever before with such high-quality content that the event was extended in length. Respected industry experts from all around the world will offer cutting-edge information to an audience of bench jewelers, designers, manufacturers, students, retailers, and the press. Following a networking dinner the evening of May 17, there will be three full days of thought-provoking presentations on technology (design software, additive manufacturing, generative AI), metallurgy, jewelry manufacturing processes (metallurgy, casting, mold-making), gemstones, sustainability, and safety, as well as critical discussions on recruitment and development of new talent to stem the talent attrition occurring within our industry.

Guests can register for TJS 2025 here and secure group rates at the Marriot here.

Applications for the TJS 2025 scholarship can be found here; deadline to apply is January 3rd. Applicants may include students, interns, apprentices, or those who are early in their career in any field of the jewelry industry.

For more information on the event, visit here, or call Jessa Cast at 505-450-4452.

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
