Time for Holiday 2013 & Allow for Matchmaking at It’s Best
From the brand side, many exhibitors gave testament to the strength of the show, relationships and buying atmosphere:
Jack O’Neil of Spark Creations commented, “We had a great show which should lead to an exciting end of this year. Retailers had confidence in the economy and are buying more color as a result.”
Ray Mastoloni of pearl powerhouse, Mastoloni Pearls shared “Wonderful show! It was a great experience. We opened a number of new accounts in addition to seeing some old ‘friends’. Some retailers were finishing up what was started in Vegas; this show gave them the perfect opportunity to work in a more relaxed environment, which was conducive to doing great business.”
As if the excitement on the salon floor wasn’t enough, JCK’s adjacent press events brought brands face to face with key media contacts who were actively working holiday jewelry stories. Brands such as Temple St. Clair, Rina Limor and Denise James sent in merchandise for the ‘Iced Tea’ blogger and editor events. Top jewelry and fashion bloggers attended the morning portion of the July 30thevents, sipping tea while ogling ‘iced’ creations and ultimately selecting their top picks for an on-site photo shoot. Editors from the jewelry industry’s leading publications, as well as fashion, luxury and lifestyle books, perused the collections in the afternoon, noting the trends for Holiday 2013 and earmarking selections for gift guides.
