JA New York to Bring the Diamond District to Spring Show
The upcoming show will have an immersive “47th Street Experience” for attendees.

The show is introducing the “47th Street Experience,” an immersive look into the best of the Diamond District.
The experience will include several pavilions, lounges, and on-site activations.
Key industry players will be attending and sponsoring the 47th Street Experience, including De Beers Group, Rio Diamond, Premier Gem Corp., the Indian Diamond and Colored Stone Association, the Diamond Dealers Club, the Diamond Manufacturers & Importers Association of America, and the Gemological Institute of America.
Diamond manufacturers Diamex and Shivani Gems also will return to the show, as well as the Jewelers Vigilance Committee and Women’s Jewelry Association.
“We are thrilled to create an environment that celebrates the fundamentals of our industry,” said JA New York Group Show Director Matthew Tratner. “In establishing an extension of 47th Street underneath the storied roof of the Javits Center both attendees and exhibitors of our event can meet and foster relationships with influential decision-makers and industry thought leaders that can serve to bolster the strength of their businesses.
“We want to have that feeling here on our show floor that you get when you walk that block between Fifth and Sixth Avenue, that feeling that business is transacting all around you and you want to be a part of that.”
The JA New York spring show, scheduled for Sunday, March 10 to Tuesday, March 12 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, coincides with other annual jewelry industry events including Jewelers of America’s Gem Awards (Friday, March 8) and the 24 Karat Club of New York’s gala (Saturday, March 9).
“New York City is the capital of the U.S. jewelry industry,” said Jewelers of America President and CEO David Bonaparte.
“Jewelers of America has always believed in the power and importance of the JA New York shows. With the alignment of our board of directors meeting and Gem Awards, we look forward to the March show being an even bigger destination and resource for sourcing product, education and building relationships.”
Key JA board members will attend the spring show in support.
“The board of directors for Jewelers of America is committed to the continued partnership with the March and October JA New York shows,” said Jewelers of America Board Chair Coleman Clark of B.C. Clark in Oklahoma City.
More details about the on-site programs, activations, and education sessions at JA New York will be available in the coming weeks.
