What a great Show! On behalf of myself and the entire JA New York Team, I want to thank you for joining us at JA New York Spring; we appreciate your ongoing support! Our attendance remained strong for our March show, with the aisles filled with specialty retailers from across the globe. Spirits were high as new business, networking opportunities and education thrived throughout the three days.
Our favorite charitable organization, Jewelers for Children, hosted their annual cocktail event Sunday evening to close out a successful opening day. The next two days proved eventful, with retailers collectively winning $12,000 in “Buyer Bucks” to spend with participating exhibitors on the show floor, while Jewelers of America’s educational programming kept retailers engaged, and the Big Pitch gave designers an opportunity to sharpen their salesmanship as they pitched their collections to industry frontrunners.
Our New Designer Gallery was full of fresh talent featuring an array of styles, stones, metals and unique techniques to keep the retailer excited. For the first time in Spring, we held the Mort Abelson Award Ceremony, where Linda Hoj was declared the 2019 Mort Abelson New Designer of the Year! Congrats Linda!
Before we see you all for the Summer show, we’re looking forward to the launch of PREMIER in Las Vegas! This new comprehensive fine jewelry and time piece trade event will take place alongside the American Gem Trade Association’s AGTA GemFair™ Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch show at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) May 30 – June 3, 2019. The three events comprise The Collective, an easy-to-navigate experience for both attendees and exhibitors. We’re looking forward to seeing so many of our brands and retailer partners there!
We had a great Spring show and we look forward to an exceptional Summer show with new dates and our co-location with NY NOW. Be ready to expand your experience August 11 – 14, 2019. Register today to join us for this inaugural partnership created to expand your jewelry marketplace.
