Did you know we have an archive of Symposium talks going back decades? Dozens of past sessions are recorded and free to watch, right now. This year’s lineup carries that same tradition — tickets for the 2026 Symposium are live now. Link in bio for the archive, and for tickets.

Some pix from fake commencement, and real commencement! Yes, the Metal tradition continues—I hope someone got video of the new “hammercorn trot.” 🦄⚒️

Did you miss my @nycjewelryweek panel?

The topic was “My Greatest Mistake: What Contemporary Jewelers Learn When Things Go Wrong.”

The link has now been posted — and it’s in my bio.

There was lots of great advice — and naked honesty about mistakes — from @melaniebilenker @mimgray @aaron_decker_studio . Thank you to @thejewelrylibrary for hosting!

We are very excited to be shipping overseas for the 1st International Summit of Jewelry Classes at the @dieneuesammlung @pinakothekdermoderne during Munich Jewelry Week. “The Design Museum is teaming up with over 40 jewelry classes from all over the world, covering 24 different countries, to celebrate the future of young contemporary jewelry. The classes have taken it upon themselves to mastermind and present a pop-up exhibition exclusively for the Friday evening of the Jewelry Weekend. The pop-up exhibition will only be on show at the Pinakothek der Moderne and on the evening of the event.”

See you in Munich next week! 💎🥨
