(PRESS RELEASE) Tariffs can affect import costs, supply chain strategy, and customs compliance. As the U.S. revises trade policies, it’s essential for jewelry businesses to understand which tariff provisions apply to their goods. To assist our members in understanding and complying with President Trump’s tariffs, JVC is pleased to announce the launch of a new Tariff Tracker, a comprehensive resource designed to help the jewelry industry monitor and respond to changing tariff landscapes. This tool was made possible in part through the generous support of the JCK Industry Fund, whose grant enabled the development of this important resource.
Access the Tariff Tracker here.
The Tariff Tracker is a tool designed to help the jewelry industry keep up with changes to U.S. tariffs that impact the trade in jewelry, gemstones, and precious metals. The tracker will be updated as and when changes are announced, and is intended as a reference point for industry members. The tracker is not intended as legal advice, and industry members are encouraged to seek outside counsel as appropriate.
This tracker is part of JVC’s ongoing mission to promote legal compliance and industry transparency. We are grateful to the JCK Industry Fund for supporting this initiative.
JVC will continue monitoring trade developments and provide further updates to support our members.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration
After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years."
Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations.
The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
