The Santa Fe Symposium
"Eddie Bell founded the Santa Fe Symposium® conference based on his conviction that the jewelry industry benefits exponentially when experience, research and ideas are shared. The Symposium encourages participants to exchange knowledge and expertise with those who share a passion for the craft. Over the past 34 years, the Symposium has become the premier educational forum for jewelry manufacturing technology worldwide."
Science Of Jewelry
Founded by Owain Houghton and Chris Corti, this site is a not for profit site to further the understanding of metallurgical processes.
During the recent and final Santa Fe Symposium, "Owain, Chris and others decided that a free-to-access and easy-to-understand website could help widen the reach and help all stakeholders benefit from the (Santa Fe) Symposium."
