The conference will be held between 2–4 November 2011 and is being hosted by The Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council of India. His topic is as follows:
  
  "Heaven Below: New Directions in Gems & Gemology"
  We in the gem and jewelry trade are privileged to work with some of the most stunning and romantic ob-jects on the planet – singular marvels of supreme wonder. And yet all we do is weigh and analyze, tortur-ing beauty until the extraordinary is reduced to an entirely ordinary set of chemicals, numbers and digits, abstractions with no relation to the reasons why people purchase what we are selling.
  
  Which instrument measures feeling? What scale weighs emotion? Few are willing to ask these questions because the answer falls outside the realm of science. And yet the questions are crucial to our field. People acquire precious stones because of passions, not properties. If we wish to increase desire, we must look to art as well as science. We must make simple, emotional connections with the places these gems come from and the people who dig them up.
  
  Richard Hughes has traveled to scores of countries in search of precious stones. In this dramatic multime-dia presentation he will explore these ideas and more as he takes us around the world of gems.
