By Brittany Siminitz | October 23, 2025

JIS Fall 2025’s four days filled with jewelry showcases, networking events, and celebrations wrapped up Oct. 13 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.

Organizers said that over 10,000 retailers, manufacturers, and other members of the jewelry community attended the show, which featured more than 550 exhibitors in fine and fashion jewels, lab-grown diamonds, silver jewelry, equipment and technology, and other categories.

International vendors were abundant in pavilions dedicated to Spain, Hong Kong, and Turkey, opening up new sourcing opportunities for attendees. JIS said exhibitors reported high-quality buyer engagement, as a mix of first-time participants, emerging brands, and long-standing companies came together.

The new Accessories & Gifts pavilion delighted showgoers, JIS said, and adding product possibilities for retailers upping their stock for the holiday season. On-site activations at JIS Fall included interactive photo ops, cigar rolling, trend displays, and brand showcases.

Among the show’s networking highlights were opening night’s welcome reception; the daily Galleria Social, a lively hub each afternoon; and the ’80s-themed Cocktails & Connections, an evening event with live music and dancing.

“JIS Fall 2025 was an incredible success, thanks to what we like to call our ‘secret sauce’—it’s the perfect blend of top-tier exhibitors, passionate buyers, and a vibrant Miami atmosphere,” said Sara McDonough, JIS event director, in a statement. “This combination creates not just transactions but lasting connections and business momentum that carry well beyond the show floor.”

Up next for JIS is its Spring 2026 show, March 8–10 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
