Norwalk, Conn.—JCK, the annual jewelry trade show, has opened registration for its 2026 event in Las Vegas.

Luxury will run from Wednesday, May 27, through Monday, June 1. The first two days are by invitation only.

This year’s theme, "In Your Element," celebrates JCK’s commitment to creating a welcoming environment, said organizers, with opportunities for discovery, learning, and connection.

There will be a few new features of note at this year’s show.

The Lifestyle Pavilion will be a dedicated space for accessories, home décor, and gifts.

Located inside the Gems Hall, the Lifestyle Pavilion will give retailers a chance to bring new offerings into their stores to drive more traffic, said JCK.

“With exciting new launches like the Lifestyle Pavilion and Timepieces at Luxury and JCK, plus an enhanced educational lineup, we are creating a dynamic environment that fosters not only business growth, but personal inspiration.
