Get Ready for the JA New York Spring Show

This year will feature a new MJSA Showcase and partnership with Piazza Italia.

The 2025 JA New York Spring event, taking place March 16-18, will provide the industry with a comprehensive marketplace serving all sectors of the fine jewelry industry. With several exciting new additions, the Spring event will offer countless opportunities for sourcing best in class collections, discovering valuable resources, enhancing knowledge and networking with colleagues and industry thought leaders. 
 
This year marks the launch of “MJSA Showcase,” a pavilion featuring the latest tools, equipment, supplies and services offered by Manufacturers Jewelers and Suppliers of America (MJSA) members. Previous editions of JA New York events have been co-located with MJSA’s traditional Expo, the association’s long-time show focused on manufacturing and design, and this new collaboration will establish an even more cohesive shopping experience for attendees to the event. The vibrant MJSA Showcase will include product demonstrations and the unique ability to test new tools while also discovering state-of-the art equipment and services offered by trusted MJSA members. JA New York will also be partnering with MJSA decision makers on the development of a robust educational program covering a range of topics relevant to anyone in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing or selling fine jewelry.

A newly minted partnership with Piazza Italia will bring an expanded roster of Italian brands that highlight that region’s long-standing tradition for excellence in jewelry design and fabrication. With an operating premise of “Stronger Together,” the organization consistently and thoughtfully analyzes the marketplace in order to build strategies and platforms that enable each of their members to grow their businesses sustainably, efficiently and cost-effectively. They have determined that JA New York’s audience and its status as a thriving epicenter of the industry will provide an exciting opportunity for their members to expand and increase visibility in the U.S. market.

While additional events and experiential activations are still being planned for the upcoming JA New York Spring Show, the highlight remains the exceptional designers, manufacturers and brands who showcase their designs, loose stones and findings at the event. From the artistic expressions of talented makers to jewelry wardrobe essentials like diamond line bracelets and colorful cocktail rings to loose gemstones and diamonds, the spring event is a one-stop-shop serving the nuanced needs of the entire fine jewelry industry.
