The reputed JCK Las Vegas show started from 31st May at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino is indeed a glitzy event. The 2013 show consisted of over 2,500 manufacturers and designers representing 32 countries, including 300 new exhibitors, and covered every corner of the jewellery industry, from the most sought after brands to fashion and up-and-coming talent.

JCK Las Vegas is known to be one of the largest and the most important jewellery show held in the entire region of Las Vegas. This show is said to bring together the leading brands who lead in designing and manufacturing jewellery which are exported in all over the world. The exhibitors tend to showcase new and attractive designs, which draw the attention of the global attendees coming in this show. This show has built a bridge between the exhibitors and visitors and the jewellery companies of United States of America and also of other foreign countries that will get to create a strong foot in the global market.

JCK Las Vegas featured the most exhibitors of any jewellery week show spread over a broad range of categories from bridal and emerging artisan-quality designers to high-end fine jewellery and luxury timepieces. Loose stones, materials, packaging supplies, and merchandising displays were also available. With such breadth of product presented, the show was able to provide one-stop shopping for vendors and retailers alike. The show was divided into specific sections, making the expansive offerings easy to find and shop.

The first day of show being a Friday had a very good traffic in loose diamonds pavilion, as due to shabhat buyers knew they won't find many exhibitors on Saturday. The jewellery exhibitors also had a decent response. The prices of gemstones were very strong; on the other hand the dealers at AGTA said it's moving very slow for them. In diamonds 10-carat up had good enquires. Indian pavilion had a good location with increase number of participants but traffic was pretty slow there as very specific buyers moved to the pavilion. The exhibitors catered to more of silver and Victorian jewellery.

The couture show at Wynn hotel had a very good bunch of exhibitors and brands like Miki Motto, Damiani, Gem fields and many more. The show attracted good quality buyers which were specifically looking for designer jewellery. Two more days to go let's see how it finally closes, but the mood is positive and people are willing to explore new opportunities.
