What is The Business of Jewelry Roundtable?
The Business of Jewelry Roundtable is an exclusive forum for senior leaders in the diamond, gemstone, and jewelry industry. Six times a year, 25 veterans, visionaries and guest experts gather behind closed doors, free from a broader audience, stage scripts, or social media soundbites, to tackle what’s next.
We talk candidly. We challenge assumptions. We invite bold, external perspectives into what can, at times, be a siloed space.
THIS IS WHERE SHARP MINDS CONVENE—NOT TO PRESERVE THE STATUS QUO, BUT TO REIMAGINE WHAT'S POSSIBLE.
Why join? Be a part of unfiltered, high-level conversation.
More than numbers and data, this creates a true community, where we welcome conversation, untested ideas, and unorthodox strategies.
No presentations. No passive listening. Each session is unscripted and interactive, joining industry leaders and brilliant outsiders.
OFF-THE-RECORD, ON-THE-LEVEL.
Chatham House Rule applies: participants are free to use the information received, but neither the identity nor the affiliation of any speaker, nor that of any other participant, may be revealed beyond the safe space of our Roundtable.
What’s said in the virtual Roundtable room, stays in the room.
You will be free, and in fact encouraged, to speak with clarity, not caution.
✔ FRESH PERSPECTIVES FROM BEYOND THE ECHO CHAMBER
Join global strategists, policy insiders, and branding heavyweights to challenge entrenched thinking and spark original ideas.
✔ LED BY TRUSTED EXPERTS, NOT TRENDING INFLUENCERS
Every session is thoughtfully moderated and led by those who’ve shaped, and continue to shape, our global industry.
✔ MEMBERSHIP ON YOUR TERMS
Cancel anytime. Choose monthly or yearly billing. You’re in control.
