If you’re in Las Vegas attending the JCK and Luxury shows this weekend, don’t miss today’s education and events lineup, which includes a timely primer on store security and a red carpet event focused on jewelry trends that will carry us into 2022 (all times are Pacific). As for the rest of the week, we kindly ask for your patience. We depart Sin City on Tuesday and will be heading straight to our respective beds to catch up on our z’s. (Happy almost Labor Day weekend!)
