The webinar looks at the challenges facing the industry as it returns to business, and more specifically considers what can be done to raise and then maintain demand in what remains a global health crisis.

With disruptions in the supply chain caused by lockdowns, mining houses supplying raw materials to the jewellery industry have selected to curtail or reduce production, while at the same taking measures to protect the health of their workforces.

To what degree will issues of sustainability, social responsibility and responsible sourcing practices in the jewellery industry be more relevant in the world that emerges after the COVID crisis.

The webinar examines how COVID-19 is transforming the jewellery and gemstone business technologically, and how it may become one of the seminal events of the 21st Century.
