The curtains have closed on European Design’s Test Drive 2025, marking the most successful event in the company’s history. Attendees from across the jewellery industry gathered in anticipation and excitement, and the event certainly did not disappoint.

The show attracted prestigious vendors from Europe, Japan, and the United States, offering participants the rare opportunity to see world-class jewellery tools in action. Visitors enthusiastically engaged with hands-on demonstrations, tested innovative tools, and sought advice directly from global industry experts. The interactive format allowed jewellers to directly experience equipment performance and capabilities, making the Test Drive event a standout experience.

Yet, the true highlight—and the most buzzed-about moment—was undoubtedly the unveiling of a highly anticipated announcement concealed beneath a symbolic red drape. Attendees were captivated as the reveal unfolded, introducing not just another industry machine but a groundbreaking innovation developed and built right here in Canada.

Under the newly launched Canadian brand Northern X, European Design proudly introduced its revolutionary water-based dust collector. Unlike traditional dust collectors that rely on conventional filters, this innovative machine uses water filtration to effectively capture dust particles, significantly improving air quality in jewellery workshops. Its quiet operation, exceptional efficiency, and notably clean performance have already attracted attention from jewellers worldwide, eager to enhance their working environments while effectively recovering precious metal particles.

Northern X represents a significant stride forward in Canadian jewellery equipment manufacturing, dedicated to developing tools designed with the jeweller’s daily needs and long-term efficiency in mind. This Canadian-born initiative aims to consistently deliver innovative and reliable machinery, positioning itself as an essential staple in workshops globally.

The successful unveiling at Test Drive 2025 marks just the beginning of Northern X’s ambitious journey. Committed to continuous innovation, Northern X will keep introducing new, cutting-edge tools specifically crafted to make jewellers’ lives easier, safer, and significantly more efficient.

Stay tuned, as Northern X continues to redefine what’s possible in the jewellery industry, proudly innovating right here in Canada.
