NORWALK, CT — The JCK Las Vegas and Luxury shows will be postponed until later in the year as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Organizers Reed Exhibitions and the Reed Jewelry Group said they hope to be able to announce new dates “shortly.” JCK Las Vegas was originally set for June 2-5, with Luxury to open May 31.

“Our top priority is the health and safety of our exhibitors, attendees, industry partners and staff,” organizers said in a press release.

“After consulting with national experts, our customers, closely monitoring developments and reviewing guidance and advice from renowned national public health officials, the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO), we have decided it is in the best interest of all our JCK community to postpone the Show.”

The shows are among many in the industry that have been postponed or canceled due to the coronavirus. See more of our coverage of the pandemic here.

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.”
