Fair Luxury presents their latest conference: The State of Sustainability in the Jewellery Industry
On 9th June 2025 we will welcome, in collaboration with Fair Luxury, professionals from across the jewellery, silversmithing and allied industries to the landmark conference, The State of Sustainability in the Jewellery Industry. Nearly a decade after the Fair Luxury’s first conference in 2016, this event returns here to the Goldsmiths’ Centre and will reflect the industry’s progress and act as a catalyst for positive change within businesses and supply-chains. In an industry where terms like ‘sustainable’, ‘eco-friendly’, ‘responsible are freely used – this event challenges delegates to ask: how ethical are we, really?
The conference will bring together expert speakers to discuss the progress which has been made over the last decade in mining of gold and gemstones, human rights and conditions, and what we, as well as crucial organisations, makers and manufacturers have been doing to spur change. The programme will include panel discussions exploring carbon emissions, sustainable manufacturing and responsible marketing and communications.
