Metalsmith BenchTalk with Cindy Edelstein

My Guest this Thursday, August 29th at 3 p.m. PDT on MetalSmith BenchTalk is Cindy Edelstein, President of the Jewelers Resource Bureau.

 

Bio: Cindy Edelstein began her career as an an editor at JCK Magazine. It was her years as Fashion Editor that gave her the opportunity to fall in love with jewelry designers. She founded Jeweler's Resource Bureau in 1991 with one goal: to support the growth of designer fine jewelry as a retail category, an art form, and a community. Over the years, she built a menu of marketing and publishing services offering expert advice, custom publications, and the kind of targeted marketing tools that designer entrepreneurs need to run their businesses most effectively.

 

She has traveled extensively to present speeches, workshops, and private consultations to industry groups and individual artisans to enlighten them about the American designer business. Her byline can be seen in many trade and consumer magazines.

 

In 2000 the Jeweler's Resource launched the first trade show for international studio jewelers called globalDESIGN. This event presents an elite collection of the world's finest artisans to the American craft gallery audience. We also produce Designer DAY: The Business Conference for Jewelry Designers in conjunction with MJSA. Our bestselling guidbooks, the Designer's Annual Planning Guide, SOURCEBOOK for DESIGNERS and ARTISANS, are now available online to subscribers of the JRB NETWORK.
