Stuller Events

Events are hosted throughout the year at Stuller's headquarters in Lafayette, LA, also the site of its 600,000-square-foot jewelry-making factory. You'll be in the center of our manufacturing facility, amidst the bustle and hum of our daily operations. A full factory tour is included.


What Stuller covers varies by event. Please visit those event pages for more details or contact the events team at 800-877-7777, ext. 2481.

Bench Jeweler Workshop: Plan to arrive the day before or early Friday morning. Sessions will begin at 9:00 a.m. Central. As the event will wrap up Saturday evening, plan your departure on Sunday in order to experience the whole event.

We're glad to have you visit our headquarters.

Except for an open mind, willingness to learn, and loads of positive energy, there's not much you'll need to bring. We'll even provide the pen and paper. If you’d like to bring a laptop or tablet PC, you will need to contact the events team to get this approved with security.

Although photography is not allowed within the Stuller facility, you may bring a mobile phone. If your smartphone has a camera, we ask that you please respect our no-photo policy.

We ensure the safety and security for our associates and visitors. Metal detectors and security guards scan all items coming in and out of the building. Weapons and tobacco products are prohibited.

For Bridge and Software Trainings, dress is business casual. For other events, we recommend you dress how you represent yourself in your store each day — less your jewelry showpieces.

You may wear a watch or wedding band, but please leave all other jewelry items at your hotel. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes. Our plant is one-third of a mile long, and you'll want to see it all. Also, consider a light jacket or sweater, as classrooms may sometimes feel chilly.

If you choose to extend your stay in Cajun Country, there is live music to experience most nights and always more great local food to appreciate. You may also enjoy seeing where Tabasco is made, visiting one of nine museums, or touring the swamp by foot or by boat. To discover what's here, start with www.LafayetteTravel.com or talk to a Stuller rep for recommendations.
