Eddie Bell — Symposium Founder
One of the most familiar faces in the jewelry industry, Eddie Bell is the Director of Technology for Rio Grande, one of the largest and most diversified suppliers to the jewelry industry. Like his father before him, Eddie has a passion for the craft and a drive to share his more than 40 years of knowledge and expertise with those who share that passion. His conviction that the jewelry industry benefits geometrically by such sharing led to the first Santa Fe Symposium®. Twenty-four years later, the Symposium remains the premier educational forum for jewelry manufacturers worldwide.
