Each season at The Jewellery Cut Live, we strive to bring you some of the most exciting jewellery speakers out there. This February is no different.
From Vogue’s Carol Woolton talking jewels on page to Alex Monroe’s masterclass in design, there is something for everyone. This season’s line up includes talks on design, diamonds, Paraiba tourmalines, upcycling, British luxury, jewellery trends, how to become a jewellery designer and more.
To access these talks, you will need to buy a ticket, which start from £10. Or you can supersize your time at The Jewellery Cut Live and buy a AAA Pass, from £80, which gives you access to all the talks over two days, a glass of fizz, complimentary hot drinks and access to our otherwise invite-only VIP party on the evening of Sunday, 16th February, 2020.
