Date: Tuesday 30 September, 2025

Start Time: 6.00 PM

End Time: 8.00 PM

Venue: FORGE

We are delighted to welcome back Ashkan Asgari, Founder and Director of Misfit for an inspiring evening. Many of you would have met Alex Skachkov Director of Misfit UK, but this will be another opportunity to meet Ash!

Ashkan Asgari, who founded Misfit in 2019, will be joining us for a 30-minute In-Conversation. During the conversation, Ash will touch on the journey of Misfit, exploring how the company has rapidly become a key player in the industry. He talk about their commitment to building an ethical supply chain, the educational initiatives they’re passionate about, and their vision for reshaping the jewellery industry. This short, yet informative, session promises to offer valuable insights into sustainable practices and the future of ethical sourcing.

Following the discussion, there will be an evening of networking, providing a fantastic opportunity to connect and discuss further with Ash directly and explore Misfit’s stunning range of diamonds and sapphires.

There will also be an opportunity to meet their newest UK team member Roman Pekala.
