(PRESS RELEASE) TROY, MI – The Jewelry Symposium (TJS), the jewelry industry’s annual international event dedicated specifically to the advancement of jewelry manufacturing technology, is launching a new scholarship program for its 2024 edition. The scholarships are generously sponsored by TJS supporters C&J Jewelry, Mano Acero Jewelry, and TechForm Advanced Casting. Application deadline is March 29, 2024, and a minimum of three awardees (possibly more) will be notified by April 5th. The brief digital application process can be accessed online here.

TJS 2024, to be held in Detroit, Michigan from May 18 to May 21, is now offering scholarships for aspiring jewelry professionals, including students, interns, apprentices, and those early in their jewelry careers. Each scholarship includes the symposium registration fee, three nights at the venue – the Detroit Marriott Troy hotel May 18, 19, and 20 – plus meals catered by TJS, as well as a book, a thumb drive of all presentations, and a formal certificate of attendance.

“We are excited to offer free registration, attendance, and accommodations to young jewelry professionals as we aim to achieve our goal of eliminating information-sharing barriers within the industry,” says Linus Drogs, Chairman of Board, TJS. “Scholarship attendees will have access to some of the most experienced and talented makers of fine jewelry from around the world. The current shortage of skilled bench jewelers is a serious concern. Engaging with younger jewelers, especially with our practical, hands-on approach, is critical. We hope these scholarships will allow more young jewelry talent to get involved and get inspired, helping us all grow the future of our beloved fine jewelry industry.”

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
