GIA Jewelry Career Fair & Open House

The jewelry industry’s preeminent recruiting event will take place in the seaside city of Carlsbad on Oct. 11 during the annual GIA (Gemological Institute of America) Jewelry Career Fair & Open House. More than 25 gem and jewelry companies are expected to be on-hand and looking to hire hundreds of professionals at every career stage and in roles across the industry – from jewelry design and appraisal to retail sales and diamond grading. The free event marks the only time each year that the coastal 30-acre Carlsbad campus is open to the public without appointment.

Attendees will also be among the first to see Hollywood design legends Tony Duquette and Hutton Wilkinson’s first-ever all-jewelry exhibit, “More is More: Tony Duquette - Hutton Wilkinson Jewelry,” which debuts the night prior. The more than fifty emblematic jewelry creations on display by the design duo embrace a wide variety of styles, periods and palettes often showcasing unusual gemstones paired with rare materials in whimsical designs.
