		<description><![CDATA[I was lucky enough to get to the second week of the Goldmiths&#8217; Fair in London last week and again I was blown away by the quality, diversity and creativity on display there.
It really got me thinking about our industry and how predictable it has become on one side and how innovative it is on the other.  With my office based in London&#8217;s Hatton Garden, I often feel quite uninspired about the trade.  Shop after shop selling real crap, with the exception of a few.  The opportunity to turn this into a &#8216;Premier&#8217; jewellery shopping area is repidly slipping away.    Imagine a world where all the shops on Hatton Garden were like a big version of Goldsmiths&#8217; Fair.  Every shop run by the...<br/><br/><a class="more-link" href="http://www.thegembank.com/resources/blog/goldsmiths-fair-week-2">Read more &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I went to week one of goldsmiths&#8217; fair with a very fresh perspective.  With everything  that&#8217;s been going on with the economy and the impact it has had on luxury and jewelley, I now see events like goldsmiths&#8217; along with their exhibitors as representing the future of the industry.
When you first walk in to the hall you get struck by a sense of history. The fact that they still have uniformed commissionaires sets the tone of the whole event. Very formal and grand, well on the outside anyway.  Those very grand surroundings of the hall are quickly put into sharp contrast by the very contemporary designs on show.
Firstly there is the silversmithing. If you are not familiar with the kind of work they show there, forget the stuffy dated image of...<br/><br/><a class="more-link" href="http://www.thegembank.com/resources/blog/visit-goldsmiths-fair-it-where-the-futures-at">Read more &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently read an interesting discussion thread on LinkedIn (which I recommend you join by the way) in which people were answering the simple question: What is branding?
It was interesting to see the range of answers. They touched on the issues around price, design and availability. Others seemed to think it was generated from the customers rather than the organisation. Some seemed to suggest that it was a much more emotional connection with people&#8217;s heart. Some talk about adding value to your product and how it differentiates you from your competitors. Others see it as something that will you will pay you a premium for, while other questioned why you&#8217;d ever want to do it with something cheap (I guess Asda, Wall Mart, Tesco et al have also missed the...<br/><br/><a class="more-link" href="http://www.thegembank.com/resources/blog/what-is-branding-2">Read more &#187;</a>]]></description>
