In a bid to enhance learning and development in the jewellery industry, The Jewelry Symposium (TJS) is providing free access to its archive of technical papers previously presented to the industry.

“People have been asking for free access to the papers since our first TJS event in 2023,” says Linus Drogs, TJS Founder and Board Chairman.

The archive of papers will go live on November 3 to coincide with the start of registration for the 2026 event. Papers from the 2023 and 2024 editions of the symposium will then be available for free access.

However, those attending TJS in person will receive immediate access to that year’s content on the final day, along with a printed copy of the limited-edition book.

TJS board members agreed to make the records of information shared by its speakers more accessible to anyone looking to learn more or to advance their fine jewellery careers and/or businesses.

“The mission of The Jewelry Symposium is to foster a culture of confidence in sharing information and making it widely available, with the goals of lowering barriers to entry into this industry and of giving everyone the tools they need to advance,” says Drogs.

The fourth annual international event, dedicated to advancing jewellery manufacturing technology, will be held from May 16 to 19, 2026, in Troy, Michigan, a northern suburb of Detroit, featuring presenters and speakers from around the world.
