Success at Every Stage: Attend Our Tools & Technology Demonstration Day in May

At The Betts Group, we understand that the right tools and technology can make a significant difference to both workshop performance and wider business growth. That’s why the Betts Metal Sales Tools & Technology team is bringing together leading suppliers, live demonstrations, and practical business support for a dedicated Demonstration Day at our showroom in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, taking place on May 14, 2026.

Why Attend?

Designed specifically for jewellers, designers, makers, and workshop professionals, this hands-on event will showcase the latest developments in manufacturing, repair, testing, engraving, and portable workshop solutions.

Best of all, no appointment is necessary — visitors are welcome to drop in at any time throughout the day to explore demonstrations, speak with specialists, and experience the equipment first-hand.

In addition to the live demonstrations and expert advice available throughout the event, attendees will also have access to exclusive on-the-day discounts and special offers across a wide range of tools, consumables, and workshop technology.

Whether you are planning a major investment or simply looking to upgrade specific areas of your workshop, our Demonstration Day offers the perfect opportunity to explore solutions while taking advantage of event-only pricing.

Expert Laser Engraving

One of the major highlights of the event will be the launch of the Memento Laser Engraving System — a complete retail jeweller engraving solution designed to deliver fast, professional personalisation directly in front of the customer.

The system allows jewellers to capture handwriting, bespoke drawings, and custom artwork before engraving directly onto jewellery pieces in moments, helping retailers create a more personal customer experience while adding immediate value in-store. Throughout the day, visitors will have the opportunity to see the Memento system demonstrated live and speak directly with the team about how laser engraving technology could integrate into their existing retail or workshop environment.

Innovative X-Ray Fluorescence Tools

Our May Demonstration Day will also showcase a wide range of advanced workshop technologies designed to improve efficiency, precision, and profitability. Visitors will be able to experience live demonstrations of SciAps XRF analysers, with practical examples showing how fast and accurate metal analysis can support alloy verification, scrap evaluation, and quality control processes. These demonstrations will provide valuable insight into how modern XRF technology can streamline everyday workshop operations while increasing confidence in testing and analysis.

Laser Welding Expertise

Precision repair and manufacturing technologies will also play a key role throughout the event. Live demonstrations of both laser welding and PUK welding systems will highlight how jewellers can reduce repair times, improve finish quality, and expand their in-house manufacturing capabilities. The laser welding demonstrations will be supported by Matt Esh of Freeform Fabrication, while Betts Metal Sales’ Rebecca Boldra will demonstrate the practical applications and versatility of PUK welding technology.

These sessions are designed to give visitors a clear understanding of how modern welding solutions can improve workshop efficiency and open new opportunities for repair and production work.

Diamond and Precious Gemstone Testing

Material identification and stone testing will also form an important part of the day’s demonstrations. Attendees will be able to explore practical testing techniques for semi-precious gemstones, alongside demonstrations focused on distinguishing laboratory-grown diamonds from natural stones.

These sessions will provide useful, real-world insight for jewellers working with a wide range of materials and gemstones within today’s evolving jewellery market.

Live Precious Metal Melts

For visitors interested in casting and metalworking processes, the event will also feature live metal melts using Graficarbo furnaces. Scheduled demonstrations taking place at 11:00 AM and 2:30 PM will allow attendees to experience the melting process first-hand while learning more about the equipment and techniques involved in modern workshop production.

Modern Workshop Solutions

A particularly exciting area of the Demonstration Day will focus on portable and pop-up workshop solutions, designed specifically for the growing number of jewellers, makers, tutors, and demonstrators who require flexible working environments without compromising on professional capability.

As working practices continue to evolve, many businesses are looking for compact, efficient setups that can operate within smaller studios, teaching spaces, temporary locations, or mobile workshop environments. Throughout the event, visitors will be able to explore a carefully selected range of practical solutions including compact and folding jewellers’ benches, portable hand torches, mini pickle pots, and portable semi-precious gemstone testers.

These adaptable tools and workspace systems are ideal for designer makers, demonstrators, short course tutors, and anyone working within a space-conscious or mobile workshop setup. Whether attending trade events, teaching on location, working from smaller studios, or creating temporary spaces, these solutions showcase how modern jewellers can maintain professional standards while working with greater flexibility and portability.
