JCK COUNTDOWN
May 18, 2017

We’re counting down the days until JCK Las Vegas! While we attend numerous events and tradeshows throughout the year, this is the one that we look forward to the most. And here’s why …

The People

The primary reason that we attend JCK is the people. We love the opportunity to see our customers from all across the country, pick their brains, and figure out ways that we can better serve them moving forward. We also love all of the QT that we get with some of our favorite industry professionals. Here are a few of the people that we’ll be on the lookout for:

See you there? Stop by our booth when you get in, we’ll be waiting in anticipation.

The Brands

Just when we think we’ve seen it all the top jewelry designers find a way to impress us once again. And they do it at JCK. From rare gemstones to cutting edge designs, we can’t wait to see what they bring to the table this year. And as the authorized repair shop for top brands such as LeVian and David Yurman, this is also a great opportunity for our team to learn about the latest innovations, so that we too can stay ahead of the curve.

The Events

True to Vegas style when it comes to events, JCK doesn’t hold back. The rooms are filled with lights, music, and all sorts of entertainment. For four nights the jewelry industry goes wild, in a mostly appropriate way. While there are so many great events to choose from, here are the ones that we aren’t going to miss:

What’s on your short list?

The Memories

While we’ve collected so many great JCK memories over the years, when it came to narrowing it down to the best memory, we turned to Ross. Here’s what he had to say:

Easy. It was my first Pumb Club Dinner, a few years back. The first moment of excitement was getting and invite from Richard and Trudy Greenwood of A.F. Greenwood Company. It only got better from there. When we walked into the room I was floored to see so many amazing people from all across the jewelry industry. And then, there was this guy named Jerry Seinfeld who just happened to be our entertainer for the evening. Good jokes. Great food. The best of people. It was certainly a night that I’ll never forget.”

Looking forward to all of the memories to come!

Let the countdown begin! We can’t wait to see you all there. Along with catching us at networking events, be sure to stop by the Jewel-Craft booth. Our new Jeweler’s Bench Challenge is a great way to test your steady jewelers hand. In this case, it may also serve as a reliable sobriety test. After all, it is Vegas.

I just wanted to take a minute to express “Much Thanks” to the team of people that take care of me on a daily basis. Alyssa, Stephanie, and Lisa are always on top of things for me. For the last couple of weeks, after I told them that I’m preparing to go on my first vacation in over a year, I’ve noticed that they’ve been working very hard to meet (and usually beat) my deadlines to help ensure that I can vacation worry-free about my jewelry repairs. That means so much to me.
Michael, Williamsburg Jewelers
I am a goldsmith but do not have all of the tools and time to do my own custom work, so I work directly with Jewel Craft to make it easy for me and perfect for my clients. If I need a shank that is 2.35mm wide and provide my own diamonds, Jewel Craft follows all of my design details and makes the ring 2.35mm wide and sets the diamonds to perfection.
Raime, Raime Weber Jewelry
We LOVE Jewel Craft. Their customer service and quality of work is why we have been using Jewel Craft for over 15 years. We use them for repairs as well as custom design and they really do make dreams come true for our customers.
Margaret, Engelberts
We have been working with Jewel Craft for over 20 years and I continue to use them because they are reliable. It’s like having my own 30,000 sq. foot shop, that’s how easy they are to work with. Expectations are always met and but most importantly, they are met in a timely matter.
Greg, Windsor Jewelers
Jewel Craft makes it easy. I have goldsmiths on staff but when they are on vacation or we have overflow, I can count on Jewel Craft to get our repairs done so we don’t miss a beat. I also use them for custom design jobs due to their high level of technology and efficiency.
Donna, Boyle Jewelers
First batch of jobs just came back from Jewel-Craft, and we are VERY pleased! Excellent communication, quality work, quick turnaround, reasonable prices. Everything we hoped for! Thanks Ross!
Dan Hacker, Hacker Jewelers
I received my most recent repair work this morning and wanted to reach out before time and the season get away from me. I've been in the jewelry business for nearly 25 years and I've seen "the good, the bad and the ugly" come out of the repair shop. You and your staff have given me an opportunity to compete for repairs with quality service I can promote with confidence. Thank you so very much.
