New York—Jewelers for Children has named the two honorees that will be recognized at its 28th annual “Facets” fundraising event.
Sarin Bachmann, senior vice president of RX’s jewelry portfolio, and Julie Walsh, senior vice president of Center Core and Beauty at Macy’s, are the honorees of the 28th annual fundraising event.
Facets, the industry event supporting children in need all over the globe, is set to take place on June 6, 2027, during Las Vegas Jewelry Market Week at The Venetian Resort in Las Vegas.
“We are proud to have two incredible honorees for 2027. Sarin and Julie exemplify the JFC values of integrity, kindness, and philanthropy,” said Craig Stern, board chair of JFC and CEO of Rogers Enterprises.
“The impact both RX and Macy’s have had on our industry, and their dedication to supporting those in need, make them incredibly deserving honorees. As we celebrate over $1.9 million donated to our nonprofit partners last year, we look forward to more success in 2027.”
Bachmann is a member of RX’s United States leadership team as she oversees JCK, Luxury, and JIS events, along with the JCK brand’s print and digital publications—JCK Magazine and JCKOnline.
During her tenure, JCK and Luxury have achieved record levels of exhibitor and attendee satisfaction, loyalty, and new promoter scores, said JFC.
Bachmann’s commitment to the industry extends beyond the events she leads, said JFC, as she also chairs the JCK Industry Fund Committee, which helps support organizations working to strengthen the industry through education, workforce development, security, inclusion, and sustainability.
Other executive boards she serves on include Diamonds Do Good, Jewelers’ Security Alliance, the 24 Karat Club of New York, and the Gem Awards Committee.
Previously, she served on the boards of the American Gem Society, JFC, and the Women’s Jewelry Association.
In these roles, Bachmann has worked with leaders across the trade on issues that matter to its long-term health, said JFC.
Walsh entered her role as senior vice president of Center Core and Beauty at Macy’s in 2022.
She is responsible for leading and driving the Center Core and Beauty merchandise organization, including beauty, jewelry, handbags, shoes, and accessories.
Walsh began her career as an executive trainee at Macy’s, later holding various leadership positions within Macy’s merchant organization, which includes experience in fine jewelry, prestige cosmetics, and fragrances.
Walsh brings a wealth of experience to her current role through her partner and vendor relationships in the Center Core and Beauty categories, said JFC.
