“JIS Fall 2026 was one of the strongest shows in the event’s history, with record-breaking attendance and incredible energy across the show floor,” said Sara McDonough, Event Director of JIS. “It brought the jewelry community together for a few exciting days of sourcing, discovery and connection.

The show’s “Spark Holiday Success” theme came to life through experiences designed to give attendees fresh ideas for their businesses. At the gift-wrapping demonstration, retailers picked up techniques they could bring back to their stores. The Gem Color Forecast invited attendees to predict the color they expect to shine in the coming year, while Puppies and Personalization offered a playful break from the show floor.

Connections continued after show hours at the opening-night Welcome Reception and JIS Unwrapped, a Saturday evening gathering with drinks and a photo opportunity.

Elongated Diamond Shapes Are Taking Over Jewelry

Reading Time: 9 minutes Key takeaways • Elongated diamond shapes like ovals, marquise, pears, baguettes, cushions, and radiants are dominating consumer demand and shifting retailer buying patterns away from traditional round cuts. • These shapes provide strong finger coverage and create the optical illusion of a larger stone face-up compared to round diamonds of the same carat weight. • The trend is significantly accelerated by the accessibility of lab-created diamonds, allowing buyers to select larger proportions and higher carat weights.
