Each summer, Initiatives in Art and Culture’s Gold + Diamond Conference dedicates several days to responsible practice within the gem and jewelry industries. Lisa Koenigsberg, IAC’s president, explains how 2023’s Conference will consider—among other topics— how individual goals can be met while working for an acceptable value system.

Deeply grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to the Spring 2023 issue Gems & Jewellery and to once again work with its editor Jennifer-Lynn Archuleta.
