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.
