The JA New York show is offering new platforms and opportunities for designers to launch their careers in the jewelry industry.
Ten new designers have been chosen to showcase their latest designs within the New Designer Gallery of the JA New York Summer Show, taking place from July 26-29 at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in Manhattan.
In addition, the show is also introducing a cooperative pavilion, the “designLAB,” which will be used to help a select group of exhibitors work together in a social environment that allows them to test, experiment and evaluate new designs with retailers.

We’re offering the industry new platforms this season to continue to propel great designers and introduce new and exciting designs to the industry.”
