JA New York announces change to show cadence

(NEW YORK) – In their ongoing commitment to respond to the needs of their community while also offering value to the fine jewelry industry at large, JA New York Show Management is continually monitoring the benefits each of their JA New York events provides to the market. Based on feedback from their exhibitor and retail partners, the team has made the decision to strengthen their two, book-ending events in Spring and Fall, and no longer produce their Summer shows. The choice to focus on these two events was made, in large part, to support the changing buying habits of their retailers; the Spring event is strategically timed in advance of Mother’s Day, while the Fall event will allow their attending retailers to stock their cases in time for the holiday selling season.

“When we launched our third event, JA New York Fall, in 2004, the landscape of the fine jewelry industry was very different,” explains Group Show Director, Mark Lind. “We’re looking forward to concentrating all of our efforts on building upon the success of our two, mainstay events in October and March. We are confident that this adjustment to our show cadence will better satisfy the needs of the industry, and that JA New York will become a leading destination for retailers, manufacturers and brands in the most important jewelry market in the United States.”

The 2022 Fall event is taking place at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City, October 23 – 25, while the 2023 Spring event will be held March 5 – 7.

The Story Behind the Stone: Metal Mashup

Reading Time: 6 minutes I have to confess I just learned about electrum when this topic crawled up on my radar. We love the wide range of jewelry metals today that give consumers tremendous options for creating the exact piece of their dreams. Metal alloys are some of the more exciting variations for imaginative jewelry designers to work with. These options better reflect the tastes of a client and help them to personalize their jewelry, making it truly unique to them.

Electrum was usually called white gold in antiquity. But more accurately it was described as pale gold since ...
