This year’s JA New York Fall Show, scheduled for October 27-29, 2024, will feature several new initiatives, including enhanced learning experiences and a new pavilion in collaboration with Jewelers of America (JA).
The partnership with JA will include a 1600 square foot pavilion that will highlight JA’s services, benefit partners, and advocacy efforts. Within this space, there will be an 800 square foot area dedicated to JA supplier members and a 400 square foot section for ten designer fine jewelry makers.
“JA New York and Jewelers of America share a long history of supporting and championing jewelry designers, and their new pavilion, as well as our dedicated ICA gemstone pavilion, will bring a dynamic and diverse range of offerings to our Fall show,” expressed group show director, Matthew Tratner. “JA New York is uniquely positioned to meet the varied needs of all sectors of our industry. We are located in the heart of the industry, we have strong relationships with thought-leaders and industry influencers, and we have our finger on the pulse of trending topics within the trade; we are committed to creating an event that fosters relationship building, community networking and bringing together motivated buyers with qualified vendors.”
“Jewelers of America has a long-standing partnership with the JA New York Shows. We wholeheartedly believe that the JA New York Shows provide an excellent place for the industry to connect, source and buy in the heart of New York City – the jewelry capital of the U.S.,” stated Jewelers of America President & CEO, David Bonaparte. “We work closely with JA New York to bring our members value and look forward to having a pavilion of Jewelers of America members at the October show as well as hosting a day of education with our Multifaceted Learning Workshop.”
Educational Opportunities and Key Exhibitors
In addition to the pavilions, the show will host a day of education with JA’s Multifaceted Learning Workshop. This initiative aims to provide valuable insights and knowledge to industry professionals.
Brevani, a family-owned contemporary jewelry brand, will be a prominent exhibitor in the JA pavilion. “As a longtime member of Jewelers of America, we’re excited to be back at the New York show and to be a part of the JA member pavilion,” states Jordan Peck, Head of Operations for Brevani. “The show is headed in a new, innovative direction and we can’t wait to see it flourish and to be a part of supporting the organization that’s supported us for so many years.”
International Colored Gemstone Association Pavilion
ICA’s membership includes nearly 700 industry leaders involved in all aspects of the global gem trade, from mining to marketing. The ICA Pavilion at the JA New York Show will provide gemstone buyers—ranging from retail outlets with in-house bench jewelers to manufacturers and independent designers—the opportunity to source stones from top dealers in a well-curated setting.
“We are always looking for favorable opportunities for our ICA members to expand their reach among motivated, qualified buyers,” states Douglas K. Hucker, CEO of ICA. “The timing of the JA New York Fall show is advantageous for stocking up in time for the busy holiday selling season and the venue is conveniently located for both our U.S.-based and international dealers. We are delighted to align with JA New York in the creation of a dedicated, ICA Pavilion and we are hopeful that this is a first milestone in an ongoing partnership that is mutually beneficial to the success of both of our organizations.”
