We’re easing into fall with an important industrywide conference in India, a sparkling exhibition of art jewels in Dubai, and an auction of historic masterpieces in New York.
ATTEND
CIBJO Conference in Jaipur, India: Oct. 3–5 (in person)
Delegates to the World Jewellery Confederation gather in the famed “Pink City” of Jaipur this week to attend the 2023 CIBJO Congress, taking place at the Fairmont Jaipur by Accor Hotel. The capital of the Indian state of Rajasthan is a major gem and jewelry center, and a natural meeting place for delegates to discuss amendments to the organization’s definitive directories of international industry standards )known as the Blue Books) for diamonds, colored stones, pearls, gem labs, precious metals, coral, and responsible sourcing. Topics of note this year include CIBJO’s ongoing cooperation with the United Nations and its commitment to the UN’s sustainable development goals.
