Synthetic Moissanite by Dennis Allen
In his presentation, Dennis Allen will give a background to synthetic moissanite since its introduction 10 years ago, and explain what moissanite is and how it was discovered. He will then focus on the growth in self-purchasing and how this has repositioned synthetic moissanite, concluding with the current position on sales and growth in the UK and customer comments on the product. Participants will have the opportunity to handle and examine samples that Dennis Allen will be bringing along. Please contact 020 7404 3334 or email arianna.maccaferri@gem-a.com to RSVP if you would like to attend.
