(PRESS RELEASE) NORWALK, CT — JIS announces a major date change to its JIS January Miami Beach, FL, show. The next JIS Show will now be held on March 22-24, 2021, at the Miami Beach Convention Center. JIS March will reflect a combination of the size of the January event while also incorporating the timing and the niche market found at the April event.

As one of the first major jewelry buying and selling events for the trade in 2021, JIS March is strategically placed to give jewelry retailers more time to restock after the Holidays and Valentine’s Day retail seasons as well as plan for Mother’s Day inventory needs.

“The JIS Shows have always been timed based around the needs of jewelry retailers and the move to March is reflective of those needs evolving” says Jordan Tuchband, industry vice president of JIS Shows. “By moving the January Show to March and combining it with the content from our April Show, it immediately allows for a larger, more robust, and diversified event that is in a far better position to meet the needs of the modern jewelry industry.”

The JIS team is already working hard to provide a fantastic buying and selling event for the jewelry industry next March. The primary focus for this event is to create the best experience for professionals to buy and sell product through top-notch health and safety protocols, personalized matchmaking services, and immediate at-show delivery. As 2020 comes to a close, the team is looking forward to 2021 and reconnecting in March to continue supporting the industry and the JIS community.

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.”
