(PRESS RELEASE) MONTCLAIR, NJ — Mark your calendar for the 3rd annual INSTORE Jewelry Show taking place September 28 – 29, 2025 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. Presented by INSTORE magazine, and in partnership with the Chicago Responsible Jewelry Conference (CRJC) and the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers (NAJA), the Midwest’s only fine jewelry trade show promises to be a must-attend buying event for independent fine jewelry professionals and industry suppliers.

Whether you are a jewelry store owner, buyer, manager, or designer, The INSTORE Show 2025 is your gateway to connecting with leading vendors and service providers, discovering the latest industry trends, and immersing yourself in a conference program that lives up to the INSTORE name.

“We are excited to be presenting the 3rd annual INSTORE Show to the Midwest jewelry market next fall,” shared Matthijs Braakman, CEO for SmartWork Media. “After surveying our dedicated audience about the timing of the event, we selected a new date pattern in late September 2025. With this change, we can bypass summer vacation plans and busy back-to-school season, allowing more retailers and vendors to participate who couldn’t attend in previous years due to scheduling conflicts.”

Once again, the event will kick off with a Pre-Show Conference taking place on Saturday, September 27. The program will feature a full day of education sessions crafted for fine jewelry retailers. New this year, INSTORE’s Pre-Show Conference is complimentary for all interested participants. This free bonus learning opportunity will set the stage for an exceptional show experience, to include:

2 days of networking and buying from top-tier jewelry vendors and service providers
High-quality educational content that will ignite fresh ideas, provide actionable takeaways, and equip you with tools to empower your team
Insights from industry experts and influencers through daily presentations and interactive panel discussions
Engagement with like-minded peers on and off the trade show floor
Opportunities to network including the Saturday afternoon Welcome Reception and Sunday afternoon Show Floor Happy Hour

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
