The world of fine jewellery is buzzing with excitement as Franc Laurent, the UK-registered moissanite jewellery brand renowned for its ethically sourced and exquisitely crafted pieces, announces an exclusive 10% discount across its entire moissanite jewellery collection to celebrate its presence at the Scottish Gemmological Association (SGA) Conference 2026.
Running from 1st to 4th May 2026 at The Glasgow Westerwood Spa and Golf Resort near Cumbernauld, the SGA Conference draws delegates and speakers of worldwide renown, with an active programme of talks and activities welcoming gemmologists and jewellery enthusiasts from all around the world. It is the ideal stage for Franc Laurent to shine.
About the Scottish Gemmological Association Conference 2026
The Scottish Gemmological Association was founded in 2008 as an independent, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting and encouraging an interest in gemmology within Scotland. Its annual conference has grown into a landmark event on the UK jewellery calendar, and the 2026 edition is no exception.
The 2026 Conference runs from 1st to 4th May at The Glasgow Westerwood Spa and Golf Resort, located just outside Cumbernauld, conveniently situated just off the M80 at Junction 6.
The programme is as rich and varied as ever. Friday evening opens with a keynote talk by Sia Akerlund on The White Stones of the North, exploring the cultural and historical roots of Nordic jewellery design and the enduring significance of white gemstones such as diamonds. Saturday features Roland Schluessel presenting all aspects of Paraiba tourmaline, from its discovery and mining through to gemmological properties, treatments, and the current market situation, followed by Shelly Sergent and Robert Weldon offering an exclusive first glimpse into their Somewhere in the Rainbow Collection book series, and Beth West with an immersive presentation titled Universe in a Diamond. Saturday evening culminates in a Gala Dinner with ceilidh dancing, and Sunday's agenda includes a session on the evolving global jewellery auction landscape before workshops and a group dinner at The Italian Kitchen in central Glasgow.
A highlight of Sunday is the Awards Presentation and luncheon for the GemSet Jewellery Competition winners, taking place on Sunday 3rd May at the Glasgow Westerwood Hotel. The competition encourages students across Scottish art schools and colleges to design and craft wearable gem-set jewellery, and it exemplifies the SGA's commitment to nurturing the next generation of gemmological talent, a mission that resonates deeply with Franc Laurent's own values.

Why Moissanite? Why Now?
Moissanite has firmly established itself as the gemstone of the modern era. Originally discovered in a meteorite crater, moissanite is now lab-created, making it entirely conflict-free, environmentally responsible, and available at a fraction of the cost of a diamond, whilst offering comparable and in many respects superior optical brilliance and fire.
As awareness grows around ethical consumption and sustainable luxury, moissanite sits perfectly at the intersection of beauty, conscience, and value. The SGA Conference, with its global community of forward-thinking gemmologists and jewellery lovers, is precisely the right audience to appreciate what Franc Laurent brings to the table.
