JCK Las Vegas stands as the jewelry industry’s most important annual gathering in North America, bringing together over 1,800 exhibitors and more than 17,000 qualified buyers at the Venetian Expo each spring. Running May 29 through June 1 in 2026, the show spans the full spectrum of the jewelry supply chain from loose diamonds and colored gemstones to finished fine jewelry, fashion accessories, watches, and packaging supplies. For wholesale buyers, JCK represents the single most efficient opportunity to evaluate new collections, negotiate pricing, and establish supplier relationships across every major jewelry category.
The trade-only format ensures that every interaction on the show floor is business-focused. Exhibitor neighborhoods are organized by product category, making it straightforward to compare inventory across competing suppliers in diamonds, colored stones, pearls, silver jewelry, or designer collections. The Venetian Expo’s expansive layout accommodates everything from major brand pavilions to smaller independent dealers, giving buyers access to both volume pricing and unique artisan pieces. Educational sessions and trend forecasts running alongside the exhibition help buyers align their purchasing with emerging market directions.
For wholesale operations of any scale, JCK Las Vegas justifies the travel investment through sheer breadth of sourcing opportunities. The co-location of Luxury, the high-end companion show, adds another tier of premium suppliers. Serious buyers typically allocate three to four full days to work the floor thoroughly, with pre-scheduled appointments complementing open browsing. Hotel options on the Strip and along the Las Vegas Convention Center corridor are abundant, though early booking is advisable given the show’s draw.
