SoCal 24 Karat Club Integrates Into Diamond Club West Coast
Members of the Jewelers 24 Karat Club of Southern California will gain access to expanded services, resources, and connections, DCWC said.

Announced last week, DCWC said the transition honors the 24 Karat Club’s history while giving its members access to expanded services, resources, and global connections.
United under the leadership of the DCWC, the organizations are committed to deepening collaboration, fostering growth, and strengthening the jewelry community.
“The Jewelers 24 Karat Club of Southern California has a proud history of fostering ethics and leadership within the jewelry trade,” DCWC President Kalpesh Jhaveri said.
“We are honored to carry forward its legacy and create even greater opportunities and impact for members by combining the strength, resources, and global connectivity of DCWC with the traditions of the 24K Club.”
In addition, DCWC announced that it has aligned with Jewelers of America to collaborate on events, resources, and membership opportunities designed to further enrich the industry community and support long-term growth.
“These powerful organizational alliances reflect the spirit of unity our industry needs. Now more than ever, in an increasingly complex and uncertain world, it is essential for organizations to join forces. By coming together, we strengthen our community, expand opportunities and ensure that our members thrive for generations to come,” Jhaveri said.
DCWC was founded in 1946 and recognized as a WFDB affiliate in 1980.
With headquarters in downtown Los Angeles, the organization has more than 300 members including diamond and gemstone dealers, jewelry manufacturers, second-hand jewelers, and others with a primary focus on wholesaling to the trade.
It is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit dedicated to helping its members build and enhance their businesses.
The Jewelers 24 Karat Club of Southern California was founded in 1944 to promote ethical business practices and strengthen relationships across all sectors of the industry.
Its members include retailers, manufacturers, wholesalers, designers, appraisers, educators, publishers, service providers, and leaders of nationally recognized trade associations.
For more information on the integration, members and industry professionals are invited to join a town hall-style webinar.
The webinar will be held Oct. 16 at 11 a.m. PDT. Those interested can register through this link.
