Committed to Creating Transparency and Responsibility in Jewelry Supply Chains
In November, 2020, we assembled the world community concerned with responsible jewelry supply chains for our 4th annual conference. Through teaching and learning, creating relationships throughout the supply chain, launching initiatives, and providing the space and context for attendees to become active participants in change, we intend to make jewelry industry beautiful from beginning to end.

"Pay What You Can" Virtual Conference
Times are challenging, and we want everyone to be able to attend. So for 2020 we made the event pay-what-you-can. You can enjoy the recap of the conference for the same deal. If you can't pay this year, we understand. Watch the sessions anyway. If you have something to contribute, we really do appreciate it.
There are four different tickets, but the only difference between them is how much you choose to pay. All tickets are all-access tickets. The prices are:
• Free
• $50
• $100
• $200
All funds go to the Responsible Jewelry Transformative, the 501(c)(3) organization that produces the Chicago Responsible Jewelry Conference, and which is devoted to supporting initiatives to make the jewelry supply chain more equitable, safer, healthier, and more sustainable for people and communities around the world.
Does $0 feel like too little, but $50 feels like too much? Or maybe you want to give more than $200? We've got you covered!
