The Luminaries

DIVERSITY RULES - THE LUMINARIES

“We are thrilled to announce the debut of the Luminaries by COUTURE to our 2024 event. A representation of six of the seven mentees who make up the second mentorship program spearheaded by the COUTURE Diversity Action Council (DAC), these BIPOC designers will showcase a range of imaginative designs and singular points of view on the COUTURE show floor. Hailing from a range of backgrounds and experiences, the group also presents a diversity of aesthetics, price points and approaches to the design process. From experts in CAD to seasoned bench jewelers to gemstone aficionados, each of these designers has chosen jewelry design as the medium for expressing their unique world view.” - by Couture

Jules Kim of Bijules is also a Diversity Action Council Mentorship alumnus and continues to support Couture’s tremendous efforts in a more equitable jewelry industry in her role as “Talent Liaison” and DAC council member. The Luminaries by Couture, the new cohort of  designers’ showcasing their wares, will present their unique point of views for the first time in Salon 634.
