Las Vegas, June 5, 2007 – Over 21,000 jewellery retailers from 72 countries enlivened the 16th Annual JCK Show ~ Las Vegas 2007 with high-end products, new trends and new ideas. Over the five show days, the retailers had the chance to meet with 3,400 manufacturers and suppliers from over 20 countries including India, who offered everything from diamonds, gems, jewellery and watches to equipment, technology and packaging – all of the key products needed for retail precious business. %% “From the high-end manufacturers to the first time designer, the buzz was that the JCK Show ~ Las Vegas was a popular event,” said Dave Bonaparte, Group Vice President of JCK Events. “We continue to reconfigure the floor to make it easier for buyers to find what they are looking for, and are thrilled that so many of our exhibitors and attendees were able to connect, do business and make this one of the notable jewellery events of the year.$$” High-end & Designer Success for India. %% International exhibitors considered visitor traffic at this year’s JCK Las Vegas Show to be lower on average than last year. Those exhibitors with low-end jewellery, set with mainly small, inexpensive diamonds, the so-called ‘Indian goods’ reported poor gains this year. On the other hand, those offering high-end and designer jewellery reported a satisfactory-to-good Show, when polled on the penultimate day. %% Given the weak performance of the US economy, most industry insiders expect the situation to remain unchanged for some time more. Meanwhile, in order to sell low-end jewellery, manufacturers will have to come up with some new value propositions in order to increase consumer demand. Yellow gold seemed to have made something of a slight comeback, however.
Bifurcation not Clicking :
This year saw the JCK Show expanding substantially, with a large number of exhibitors being located at the Las Vegas Convention Centre, a venue near the airport, connected by a shuttle bus service from the main Sands Expo centre. In an almost exact replication of what happened at the BaselWorld jewellery show in 2005, when jewellery exhibitors were shifted to Zurich, and the expanded Hong Kong Show, this year the new JCK extension suffered loss of visitor traffic – despite the JCK organizers offering free lunch to anyone who cared to visit the new venue.
In design terms, the JCK Show offered nothing new, showcasing mostly the same large, colorful designs and animal motifs that were the hallmark of this year’s Basel show. %% Major retailers from around the world attended the Show looking for the latest in gems, watches, diamonds, and fine jewellery. Seen walking the floor were executives from so many top established household names.
Conference & Networking Program :
The conference program and networking events at the JCK Show drew large rounds. Martin Rapaport hosted the Rapaport Breakfast which featured a discussion about Fair Trade and included a speaker from South Africa. “Being at the JCK is the single biggest thing to happen in South Africa’s development sector, empowering emerging black jewellers. It is the culmination of nine years of intensive skills development and training. Rapaport’s marketing initiative unlocks the most critical success factor: route-to-market,” said Demos Takoulas, CEO and founder of Vukani-Ubuntu, South Africa’s oldest jewellery development project. %% A new pavilion accommodated 40 exhibitors from around the world featuring products from home accessories to tableware.
JCK Worldwide :
The 17th Annual JCK Show ~ Las Vegas and the 6th Annual Swiss Watch by JCK will be held from May 30 to June 3, 2008 at the Sands Expo Centre/Venetian Hotel Resort Casino and the Las Vegas Convention Centre. In 2008, the 9th Annual LUXURY by JCK and the 2nd Annual PREMIERE will take place on May 27 – to May 29, 2008 at the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino in Las Vegas. %% The series of JCK Events in Las Vegas is produced by JCK, the leading producer of trade events in the fine jewellery industry.
