To the delight of the JCK show community

Gemstone lovers, rejoice! JCK has announced that a favorite of many LUXURY attendees, Omi Privé, will make its return to the JCK show floor for 2017. The high-end jewelry brand, known for its highly regarded work with colored gemstones of exceptional quality and rarity, is set to take up residence once again with the intimate event, held at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.

Omi Prive’s 2015 Jewelers’ Choice Award Grand Prize–winning ring, featuring a 4.33 ct. Australian black opal, 0.46 ct. t.w. tsavorite garnets, 0.24 ct. t.w. sapphires, and 0.42 ct. t.w. diamonds, $26,500

“We are looking forward to joining the LUXURY family and showcasing our collection alongside the most prestigious jewelry brands in the world,” said president of Omi Privé, Niveet Nagpal. “As our company grows, we feel that the show will give us a great opportunity to present our products to an expanded base of clients. We are very excited to introduce the breadth of our collection come June, including our signature collections, one-of-a-kind pieces from the vault, specialty custom creations featuring our extensive inventory of colored gemstones, and our new colored bridal collection.”

News of Omi Privé’s return to LUXURY is already generating excitement with the show’s officials, who shared the news on the show’s Facebook page to the delight of many. And it’s not the only bit of exciting news coming from the show team this week: Mainstay JCK exhibitor Roberto Demeglio will be joining its Beny Sofer family in an extended new space, where it will showcase its fantastic collections to the LUXURY community.

LUXURY will offer a new show schedule for 2017, diverting from its traditional Tuesday start, and instead begin on Friday, June 2 with its invitation-only dates. The show’s Dine Out event will take place that Friday evening. The event encourages vendors and retailers to mingle and enjoy a meal (using their special LUXURY vouchers) at participating restaurants of their choice. The LUXURY show floor will open to all buyers with the start of JCK Las Vegas on Monday, June 5, and run through Thursday, June 8.

“With preparations well under way, we’re thrilled to welcome both our new and returning brands and introduce some of the changes we’ve been working on,” said LUXURY vice president Sarin Bachmann. “The new schedule gets things started with a bang on Friday, followed by some amazing Dine Out restaurant options we’re lining up for that evening. Based on Advisory Board and customer feedback, in lieu of a gala this year, we will be funneling those resources into amenities on the salon floor with happy hour to follow, creating a truly luxurious buying experience. All of these tweaks are designed to ensure an unforgettable yet efficient experience. We want to meet all of our attendees’ needs so that they can focus on what’s most important: business.”

LUXURY 2017 will be here before you know it! For more information on exhibiting or attending, visit jckonline.com/luxury.
