The JCK show has announced the return of the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) to its show floor in 2022—the show’s 30th anniversary edition—with AGTA-member exhibitors featured in the nearly sold-out Gems Pavilion.
The Gems Pavilion with AGTA will open on Thursday, June 9, one day before the rest of the JCK show, which runs June 10–13. The date pattern ensures both attendees of the invitation-only portion of Luxury, as well as JCK, can access the pavilion that will play host to a diverse selection of gemstone exhibitors. The Gems Pavilion comprises colored gemstone vendors from around the globe, including the International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA), new pavilions from Sri Lanka and Thailand, and the return of the Fine Gems Pavilion.
“After several years apart, I am thrilled that AGTA will be reuniting with JCK in Las Vegas,” said AGTA president and interim CEO Kimberly Collins in a statement. “We are excited for this renewed partnership and feel it is in the best interest of all parties involved, especially our buyers. There is no better place to be in Las Vegas.”
The Gems Pavilion, occupying more than 32,000 square feet of show floor space, will be located on Level 2 next to the Plumb Club, directly behind the Luxury ballroom.
“As the jewelry industry’s largest and most iconic buying show, JCK is delighted to welcome back AGTA,” said Sarin Bachmann, group vice president for RX Jewelry Group. “JCK is known as the most comprehensive buying experience for jewelry retailers in one single destination, and AGTA’s return strengthens our already expansive gem buying selection and one-stop-shopping experience for the convenience of jewelry industry buyers.
“For three decades, JCK has been the most impactful and shoppable show, bringing the entire industry together with over 20 diverse neighborhoods including Gems for product and trend sourcing and discovery. AGTA is a welcome addition with their return to our mix of partners and programming.”
Limited space remains for those interested in exhibiting within the Gems Pavilion. For more information, contact Barbara Murray at 203-840-5820, or complete this form.
