BREAKING NEWS - JCK Events Will Now Operate The Jewelry Show At Starr Pass Marriott

The International Gem & Jewelry Show, owner of the G.L.D.A. Tucson and Las Vegas wholesale gem & jewelry shows - announced that they will be working with the JCK Jewelry show for the annual Tucson Event.  JCK had a strong interest in adding its footprint in the Tucson market and International Gem & Jewelry Show has chosen to increase focus on its 90 other retail and wholesale gem, jewelry and bead shows across the country.


The JCK Tucson show will be held at the JW Marriot Starr Pass Resort, a 4-Diamond mountaintop retreat, and Tucson's best, during the Tucson Jewelry Weeks.  Covering finished fine jewelry, and featuring both luxury and design areas within the show, it is a fitting addition to JCK's portfolio and one which will augment its position as the leader in  Wholesale finished fine jewelry shows. The new JCK Tucson show will take place February 3-9, 2014.

The G.L.D.A. Show (The Gem & Lapidary Dealers Association) has been an established wholesale gem & jewelry show owned  by the International Gem & Jewelry Show held in both Tucson in February and Las Vegas in May.  The Las Vegas show dates are May 27-30, 2013.

JCK, G.L.D.A. Tucson Show and The International Gem & Jewelry Show are proud that this partnership will be a benefit to all involved.  The G.L.D.A. Tucson event will now be managed at the JCK office in Norwalk, CT.  and the G.L.D.A. Vegas event operations will remain fully owned and managed by Intergem/G.L.D.A. in Rockville, MD., where the International Gem & Jewelry Show is headquartered.

In a recent statement JCK's Yancy Weinrich said, “JCK Tucson will cover the finished fine jewelry segment and feature luxury and design exhibitors, which will provide a new opportunity for exhibitors within the built in audience, already visiting Tucson.  The JW Marriott Starr Pass provides an opulent setting and environment for both exhibiting and networking beyond the show floor – with the outdoor patios, mountainous backdrop, golf course and spa; it is the place to stay while in Tucson.”
