Conclave 2021

Hayley A. Henning, CCO of Greenland Ruby, brings together jewelry designers to discuss their exotic travel stories and how mine visits have impacted their creativity, design, and business. The panel will explore how designers have successfully marketed the worldwide gem origins of their jewelry.

The session will give the audience insights into the lives of designers, their design thinking process, how ideas develop from the moments in the mine to the drawings in the studio, and then into the hands of the consumer. Through a casual conversation delving into each person’s personal experience visiting mining areas around the world, the panelists will unveil how those visits inspired their design process, marketing, and business.
