One of the largest industry trade events, JCK has been attracting industry stalwarts for over 3 decades. I was excited to be here in Las Vegas to attend this premier event from June 4 to 9; especially as their theme this year was ‘Decades’, a homage to jewellery trends over the ages. This trend setter event was highly popular among designers, suppliers, manufacturers, buyers and even students
The exhibition was planned to be visitor-friendly, easy to navigate, thanks to over 20 neighbourhoods curated by product types. A premier jewelry event, it was the perfect space for the latest trends and global business networking. The concurrent show Luxury by JCK, showcased the most masterful pieces of exquisiteness and high jewelry.
At the JCK Show few of the opulent attractions included the Hong Kong Pavilion with its stunning display, the Agta Gemfair with an amazing selection of beautiful gemstones. The Plumb Club’s luxurious offerings were mesmerising, along with the delicate displays at the Italia Booth.
Norman Silverman had an awe-inspiring selection of large gemstones, including rare diamonds in all colours! They use their own diamonds to create stunning, high luxury pieces. The jewelry house is known for the ethical sourcing of its rare stones.
The perfectly calibrated gemstones from Gandhi Jewels were displayed as layouts, pairs and singles. Another attraction at their booth were the beautiful colour graded selections. Their 3 stone engagement ring was another unforgettable highlight which was testament to their expertise in precision cut stunning gemstones.
Quiet Quotidian dazzled with their premium display with my favourite being the minimalist emerald and diamond dangler earrings. They are industry leaders in sourcing, manufacturing and supplying exquisite emeralds from the land of Brazil.
Silverya had an enchanting display of silver jewelry with gemstones and hand-painted enamel that brought a pop of soft colours to the pieces. The time-honoured Turkish craftsmanship was evident in their collection of exquisite charms, necklaces, bracelets and other customisable jewelry!
N V Jewelry, the perfect stop to accessorise one’s HIP HOP swag, brought their high bling quotient to JCK with diamond-encrusted watches, rings, link chains and bracelets. The white, yellow and rose gold customisable jewelry, covered with diamonds and coloured gemstones accents, dazzled all the visitors and me too!
Le Vian with several luxury brands under their umbrella, was a display of stunning elegance and modern design form. Their scintillating red carpet event at the Veronese Ballroom unveiled their trend forecast for 2026. I was mesmerised by this necklace that was opulence personified.
Tagway RFID presented a modern solution for jewelry and gemstones inventory management in real time with the Tagway ICE app. It makes the process easier, smarter, safer and faster. Each piece gets scanned and tagged and instantly becomes a part of the stock, making it easier to track orders, maintain stock and also generate quotations with a few taps.
GJEPC is the leading jewelry industry association in India. A dynamic organisation, they are committed to promoting and highlighting the Indian jewellery industry across the world. They powered the Indian pavilion at JCK with curated Indian brands that presented stunning jewellery and premium craftsmanship. The pavilion was a true representation of their tagline, ‘If it can’t be made anywhere, it can be made in India.
Micheletto Jewels are master craftsmen of elegant and timeless shapes. Their 18K Gold and sterling silver jewellery were a story in subtle luxury. Proud owners of the 10MI stamp, their handcrafted jewelry was stunning and stole hearts across generations! The jewelry is a blend of ancient goldsmithing and modern aesthetics.
OGI Systems presented their futuristic technology, Dia True Ultima, that easily identifies lab-grown gemstones. This huge technological leap precisely identified CVD, treated and lab-grown diamonds. It also identifies various stimulants in natural gemstones with an unparalleled accuracy.
I was stunned by the tailor made natural diamonds collection on showcase by SRK Exports. The flawlessly cut unique shapes were show stealers indeed. These brilliant diamonds are handcrafted and meet all the gem quality parameters. My favourite had to be the perfect combination of carats and coffee, the Starbucks logo!
