JA New York Fall Show Announces New Pavilions and Enhanced Partnerships

Industry-First Event Designed to Cater to the Needs of the Marketplace

New York, NY—The upcoming JA New York Fall Show, taking place at the Javits Center October 27-29, is being strategically designed to meet the nuanced needs of the fine jewelry industry. In addition to a number of show floor activations currently in development, the event will be augmented by an enhanced partnership with Jewelers of America (JA), who are curating a 1600 square foot, flagship pavilion highlighting the association’s services, benefit partners and advocacy work, including an 800 square foot exhibit space that will allow their supplier members the opportunity to showcase their collections, and an additional 400 square feet dedicated to 10 designer fine jewelry makers. JA New York will also play host to an elevated, 800 square foot gemstone pavilion, which is being produced in conjunction with International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA).

“JA New York and Jewelers of America share a long history of supporting and championing jewelry designers, and their new pavilion, as well as our dedicated ICA gemstone pavilion, will bring a dynamic and diverse range of offerings to our Fall show,” enthused Group Show Director, Matthew Tratner. “JA New York is uniquely positioned to meet the varied needs of all sectors of our industry. We are located in the heart of the industry, we have strong relationships with thought-leaders and industry influencers, and we have our finger on the pulse of trending topics within the trade; we are committed to creating an event that fosters relationship building, community networking and bringing together motivated buyers with qualified vendors.”

“Jewelers of America has a long-standing partnership with the JA New York Shows. We wholeheartedly believe that the JA New York Shows provide an excellent place for the industry to connect, source and buy in the heart of New York City – the jewelry capital of the U.S.,” said Jewelers of America President & CEO, David Bonaparte. “We work closely with JA New York to bring our members value and look forward to having a pavilion of Jewelers of America members at the October show as well as hosting a day of education with our Multifaceted Learning Workshop.”

Brevani, a contemporary, family-owned jewelry brand, will be a key exhibitor in the Jewelers of America pavilion, “As a longtime member of Jewelers of America, we’re excited to be back at the New York show and to be a part of the JA member pavilion,” explains Jordan Peck, Head of Operations for Brevani. “The show is headed in a new, innovative direction and we can’t wait to see it flourish and to be a part of supporting the organization that’s supported us for so many years.”

ICA’s membership consists of close to 700 industry leaders that work in all areas of the global gem trade, from mine to market. The ICA Pavilion at the JA New York Show will allow gemstone buyers at all touchpoints of the industry ecosystem, from retail outlets with in-house bench jewelers to manufacturers to independent designers, the opportunity to source stones from best-in-class dealers in an elegant and thoughtfully curated environment.

“We are always looking for favorable opportunities for our ICA members to expand their reach among motivated, qualified buyers,” explains Douglas K. Hucker, CEO of ICA. “The timing of the JA New York Fall show is advantageous for stocking up in time for the busy holiday selling season and the venue is conveniently located for both our U.S.-based and international dealers. We are delighted to align with JA New York in the creation of a dedicated, ICA Pavilion and we are hopeful that this is a first milestone in an ongoing partnership that is mutually beneficial to the success of both of our organizations.”

JA New York is taking place October 27-29, 2024 at the Jacob Javits Center. To register to attend or to apply to be an exhibitor, please visit www.JA-New York.com.
