(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK — In its ongoing commitment to respond to the needs of its community while also offering value to the fine jewelry industry at large, JA New York Show Management is continually monitoring the benefits each of its JA New York events provides to the market. Based on feedback from its 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 busy 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. For more information or to schedule an interview with a member of the management team, contact Michelle Orman at (646) 302-5521 or via email at Michelle@LastWordComm.com.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
