Louisville, Ky.—Jewelers Mutual Group is hosting a jewelry panel at a special location next month.

The “Brilliant & Beyond” panel discussion will be held Nov. 6 at the Frazier History Museum in Louisville, Kentucky, as part of the “Is This Love That I’m Feeling?” event.

Panelists include jewelry designer Shahla Karimi; Ashley Davis, vice president of Davis Jewelers in Louisville; and jewelry writer Becky Stone of Diamonds in the Library.

The 30-minute discussion, moderated by Emili Vesilind, editor-in-chief of Gem + Jewel magazine, will cover engagement styles, jewelry trends, celebrity proposals, how to shop for fine jewelry, jewelry care, and how to keep your jewelry safe.

Jewelers Mutual is the educational sponsor behind the “Love & Marriage” exhibition curated by Davis Jewelers.

The exhibition explores courtship, love, and wedding traditions in Kentucky over the last 150 years, and highlights fashion, jewelry, décor, and gifting.

“Jewelry connects us through stories of love, legacy, and life’s defining moments,” said Jennifer Markas, head of industry relations at Jewelers Mutual. 

“We’re honored to collaborate with the Frazier History Museum on this special event to celebrate both the creativity and care that make jewelry such a powerful expression of connection.”

Attendees can also enter to win a 14-karat white gold curved bar diamond necklace from Davis Jewelers, with a retail value of $2,995.

“We’re thrilled to team up with Jewelers Mutual, Davis Jewelers, and [family law firm] Jenkins Wheatley to bring this exhibition and event to life,” said Andrew Treinen, president and CEO of the Frazier History Museum.

“The Frazier is about telling stories to inspire, engage, and educate, and this collaboration beautifully captures how jewelry has expressed love and commitment throughout history—and continues to do so today.”

The event begins at 6 p.m. with the panel starting at 7:45 p.m.

Tickets to the event are $35 and can be purchased here.
