Here is a quick snapshot of all the eight talks that will be running, with diverse subjects ranging from motherhood to lab-grown diamonds. Each session is strictly limited to 20 spaces, making for a cosy and collaborative environment in which you can join in the debate or put questions to the speakers, who are some of the best leading voices in contemporary jewellery right now.

Tickets to the talks cost £20 and include a welcome glass of prosecco – or another drink of your choice from the bar – as well as complementary nibbles, tea and coffee. You will also gain access to the main show, where you can browse the work of 18 jewellery brands and meet the designers. Click through on each talk title to book your ticket.
