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.

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
