As global economic pressures, surging gold prices, and shifting consumer priorities redefine the luxury landscape, industry trailblazers will gather for CONVERGENCES: The New Geography of Jewelry and Adornment. This highly anticipated panel discussion will take place on Friday, May 29, 2026, at 8:30 AM in the Convention Center Lounge at the Wynn Las Vegas.

Presented by Paola De Luca, Co-Founder & Creative Director of Trendvision J+F, the event explores a pivotal cultural shift: a return to intentional spending where substance, credibility, and long-term relevance dictate consumer choices. In this new era, gold and precious materials are transcending their traditional roles, regaining strategic importance as both deeply rooted symbols of heritage and vital, tangible assets.

To dissect this changing landscape, De Luca will host an dynamic, multi-disciplinary conversation featuring a panel of esteemed international industry experts:

• Archana Thani – Celebrated Jewellery Consultant & Curator
• Castro Smith – Renowned Hand Engraver and Jeweller
• Emily Wansbrough – Buying Manager for Fine Jewelry & Watches at MyTheresa

Together, the panelists will bridge the worlds of curation, master craftsmanship, and global luxury retail to map out the new geography of adornment. Attendees can expect deep insights into emerging consumer behaviors, the economic resilience of precious materials, and the future of design.
