JCK Las Vegas Opens on the Heels of Successful LUXURY Preview

Las Vegas, NV (May 30, 2015) — JCK Las Vegas, the largest jewelry tradeshow in North America, opened its doors Friday to commence its 24th event. The opening follows a successful 3-day, by invitation-only LUXURY show preview, indicating strong attendance and buying for the days ahead. " This year's LUXURY event has new excitement. The group of Elite Enclave brands, with its concentration of elite fashion designers is a refreshing twist on the show itself." said Julie Maddox, Vice President, Roberson's Fine Jewelry, Little Rock, AK.

Buyers and exhibitors alike were met with an enthusiastic JCK team, ready to wow them with new exhibitors, show upgrades, and a highly anticipated events and entertainment schedule.

"There is so much to see and take advantage of at JCK Las Vegas 2015," Yancy Weinrich said. "We are thrilled to have over 2,300 brands exhibiting-many returning faces and some new, such as ALEX AND ANI, Roseark, an impressive increased presence from Forevermark and a new Tech neighborhood which has been quite an attraction." Feedback on the show atmosphere and upgrades, as well as business dealings, was highly positive.

JCK Las Vegas 2015 boasts an easier to navigate show floor, largely due to a new icon system delineating curated neighborhood pavilions, which appealed to busy shoppers out of the gate on Friday. Attendees also noticed a sophisticated style infusion throughout the show's campus. Additionally, scores of industry professionals seemed to enjoy the new lounges-many with specific themes and amenities including a spa lounge, translation services in the passport lounge, and roaming food carts.

"For us, the opening day of JCK was excellent in terms of traffic, it is like the faucet was turned on. We had a great first day. We had a lot of retailer success." said Brian Watkins, President, Ritani.

Beyond the fantastic jewelry and other industry vendors to see, there is a broad range of events to enjoy and benefit from, including many fashion-themed events hosted by famous costumer designers—Patricia Field, Lou Eyrich, Meredith Markworth-Pollack, and Ellen Mirojnick, plus bloggers, and editors.
