A practical SS27 fashion jewellery Lunch & Learn. Helping boutique owners confidently build, commercial jewellery ranges.

Join jewellery designer and commercial product specialist Carmel Rice for a practical SS27 Fashion Jewellery Lunch and Learn created specifically for independent women’s clothing boutique owners.

This event will help you understand the key Spring/Summer 2027 fashion and jewellery trends, identify which trends are right for your customer and turn inspiration into a commercial jewellery buying range. You will learn how to build a balanced product offer across earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings, while considering price points, quantities, materials, customer needs and profit margins.

The day will include trend insights, practical range-planning exercises, examples, group discussion and lunch. You will leave with a clearer understanding of what to buy, how much to buy and how to create a jewellery range that complements your clothing offer and encourages additional sales.

This event is ideal for boutique owners who currently sell jewellery, are considering introducing it or want to make their existing jewellery range more cohesive and commercially effective.
