Dallas—The American Gem Trade Association will return to the JCK Las Vegas show this year. 
 
The 2022 AGTA GemFair Las Vegas event will be held from Thursday, June 9, to Monday, June 13, at The Venetian Expo—opening one day before JCK Las Vegas—and will be part of the show’s Gems Pavilion. 
 
AGTA had parted ways with JCK Las Vegas in 2019, launching The Collective with trade show organizer Emerald X to coincide with the latter’s Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show and its now-defunct Premier show. 
 
There were no Las Vegas shows in 2020 due to the pandemic, but AGTA GemFair returned to Las Vegas in 2021, holdings its event at the Encore at the Wynn in late August to coincide with the other trade shows. 

Now, it’s returning to JCK Las Vegas just as the show is set to celebrate its 30th anniversary. 
 
“We are very excited to make this announcement,” said AGTA President Kimberly Collins.
 
“As for most of us, the past couple of years have been difficult. It was important to our members that we bring AGTA GemFair Las Vegas back under one roof and partnering with JCK again allows us to do that. It’s a great fit for our members and our buyers. We look forward to building on that synergy in the future.”

JCK Las Vegas is scheduled for June 10-13 at The Venetian Expo, with Luxury’s invitation-only days happening June 8 and 9 and JCK Talks opening June 9.
 
The Couture show and the Las Vegas Antique & Jewelry Watch Show are both slated for June 9-12, with the former held at its usual Wynn Las Vegas and the latter happening again at the Las Vegas Convention center.
