The JCK Shows is launching a new international trade show for diamond dealers, loose diamond manufacturers, diamond jewelry manufacturers, and jewelry retailers. Called Diamonds by JCK, the event is scheduled for Sept. 12 and 13, 2004, in New York City.

The event is designed to provide an annual forum for networking and conducting business for those in the diamond industry with a select group of independent and major jewelry retailers from around the world.

“Our research indicates that retailers and manufacturers are eager to attend an event of this kind at precisely this time of the year,” said Dave Bonaparte, vice president of The JCK Shows.

An international group of experts will deliver several educational sessions that will focus on marketing to U.S. retailers, trends and fashion in the U.S., and diamond branding, Bonaparte says. In addition, said there will be network opportunities with diamond dealers and manufacturers from every important diamond area in the world.
