“We have curated an exciting and diverse selection of jewelers within an inclusive, relaxed event,” said The Jewellery Cut co-founder and longtime jewelry journalist Rachael Taylor. “Our policy has always been that absolutely everyone is welcome at The Jewellery Cut Live, whether browsing, buying, planning a commission or simply curious.
“It is a fun day out for jewelry novices and connoisseurs alike, and a safe haven for the magpies among us who still feel too intimidated to walk through the door of a jewelry store.”
The Jewellery Cut Live is happening Sept. 15 to 16 at the Pompadour Ballroom in the Hotel Café Royal.
Free tickets are available through Eventbrite.
