- Learn how to navigate the jewelry industry by maximizing transferable skills and tapping into resources
- Gain a new perspective for developing a fine jewelry collection from a Couture Radiance alumni
- Understand the importance of owning your transition as a designer and welcoming the evolution of a brand’s aesthetic
