(Press Release) NORWALK, CT – JCK and Jewelers’ Security Alliance (JSA) announced their new partnership that will introduce a new neighborhood pavilion dedicated to retail security solutions at JCK Las Vegas, June 5-8, 2017, at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. This new destination on the JCK show floor will feature holistic and tailored security solution providers whose products and services are designed to keep jewelry businesses safe.
John Kennedy, president of Jewelers’ Security Alliance, said, “JSA is excited about its partnership with JCK in launching a new exhibiting area at the JCK Las Vegas Show dedicated to security products and services. Security is a vital issue for jewelers, and buyers at the Show will now have a focused opportunity to learn about and order the security protection all jewelers need. For exhibitors, the partnership provides a great opportunity to reach a huge, fresh audience of jewelry retailers and manufacturers who do not attend security trade shows, but have extensive security needs. JCK Las Vegas is by far the largest and most important jewelry trade show in the U.S., and this Show is the perfect place to bring together buyers and exhibitors which will help to make the jewelry industry safer.”
JCK Industry Vice President Katie Dominesey added, “As we’ve heard from our customers and continue to see in the news, security remains a top priority for both large and small jewelry businesses who are challenged to keep up with new technology that will mitigate risk within their businesses. As the jewelry industry’s premier marketplace, JCK Las Vegas is a natural fit for introducing a dedicated destination on the show floor where vendors can provide critical solutions to keeping retail businesses thriving in today’s world.”
Participating vendors are anticipated to include physical security solutions, IT security solutions, payment processing, shipping solutions, fraud protection, private security, system integrators, RFID and tracking technology.

Closing With Confidence: How Bailey's Fine Jewelry Achieved Outstanding Results With Wilkerson
When Trey Bailey, President and CEO of Bailey's Fine Jewelry, decided to close the Crabtree location in Raleigh, North Carolina after 15 years, he knew the decision needed to be handled with intention and professionalism. The goal was clear: exit the location while maintaining financial strength and honoring the store's legacy.
Having worked with Wilkerson successfully in the past, Bailey understood the value of their comprehensive approach. "They understood both the emotional and financial sides of the store closing sale," Trey explains. "Their reputation for professionalism, results and care made it a very easy decision."
The results exceeded expectations. Wilkerson helped Bailey's sell through significant inventory while maintaining the dignity of the closing process. "They don't just run a sale, they help close a chapter in the best way possible," Bailey says, strongly recommending Wilkerson to any jeweler facing a similar transition.
