I’m not much of a bridal store so these two new lines will work nicely with my existing lines. And for semiprecious I signed with Vianna. I signed up with Norman Covan for his diamond fashion and precious color fashion. At this year’s show I signed up with two really good new lines. Each year I make it a point to pick up at least one new line or as many as three. “Once you got the lay of the land, JCK was a pretty easy show to navigate. We already have seven appointments with vendors from the show.” Also, we did some buying and met with vendors to make it a successful show for us. From Couture on one of the strip to the Plumb Club and other JCK show exhibitions, we were able to move from show to show to find what we needed with the shuttle bus system. We were on the lookout to find new vendors and products in bridal, suppliers for loose diamonds, and fashion jewelry in silver and gold. And they were always helpful in directing us to our next destination. And the “Ask Me” people were easy to see and find just about anywhere. We used the iPad app, which worked very well us. “We found the Mandalay Bay venue easier to get around.

Elegant Slumming Fine Jewelry, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. I met some that I really liked and will have their reps come to the store where we can conduct business in a more relaxed setting. I shopped for some designer jewelry with Hidalgo and Galatea, an exhibitor that has some really cool carved pearl pieces. After the first day is was pretty easy to manage. The “Ask Me” people were everywhere and were very friendly and helpful. “I loved the new venue because it brings everything together, making it easy to get to LUXURY and JCK. At JCK, I also saw three vendors we know to restock diamond rings and two other trusted vendors to restock rings set with colored stones.” At the LUXURY show I discovered a silver jewelry designer of similar caliber and quality that I’m thinking of adding later this year-very nice stuff. During the JCK show I added a new silver line. I also thought the Mandalay was nicer, cleaner, more upscale venue. Some vendors said there weren’t as many exhibitors at the show, but I would assume it was because it was a different setting for everyone. I did see some blues, but the prices were a little too high.” I was checking out vendors at the LUXURY show and the Prestige Promenade for fancy intense yellows and pinks. The main items I was looking for were natural fancy colored diamonds.

The Mandalay Bay has a good layout that’s nice, new, and fresh. But, there were plenty of helpful outlets to get information on where to go. “It was everyone’s first time, so people were a little confused. With the buzz and energy of the JCK Las Vegas Show still fresh in the minds of retailers, store owners share their impressions of the new venue, vendors they sought out, and jewelry and loose stones purchased at the June event.
