JCK Jewelry Show in Las Vegas a Big Success
More than 1,800 exhibitors and over 17,000 visitors: the JCK 2022 jewelry trade show served as a showcase for discovering the latest trends in jewelry design. Furthermore, the Luxury JCK show offered the chance to admire avant-garde and rare pieces. For its part, the GEMS exhibition attracted thousands of people who admired and purchased gemstones, pearls, and other high-quality treasures.
30th annual JCK Las Vegas show
The 30th annual JCK Las Vegas show was a prime hunting ground for many purchases. From rare and luxury jewelry to fashion jewelry, from natural gemstones to lab-grown diamonds... It was hard not to find what you were looking for. In 2022, however, JCK also offered its participants a myriad of opportunities to learn and discuss best practices and jewelry trends through seminars, panel discussions, and presentations. According to Sarin Bachmann, group vice president of the event organizer, “the 2022 edition of JCK surpassed pre-pandemic attendance numbers from 2019 while bringing the jewelry industry back together.”

2022 jewelry trends unveiled by JCK
According to Bachmann, “stylized hearts and other symbolic motifs in the form of lockets or charms were major trends.” Indeed, jewelry is increasingly being worn as a lucky charm or talisman.
“Our clients are definitely interested in the psychological benefits that jewelry can offer. Beautiful jewelry puts you in a good mood,” stated Todd Oliver. He was present at the show to buy luxury jewelry for wealthy clients. He particularly fell for custom creations from Sanalitro Gioielli, Yael Designs, Gasia Jewels of Milan, Lauren K, The Mazza Company, Just Jules, Tara Pearls, and Sloane Street.
Other notable trends from the 2022 show, Bachmann continued, include “brightly colored gemstone jewelry, especially green gemstones.” Think of emerald jewelry, tourmalines, tsavorite garnets, peridots, and green sapphire. Although Bachmann noted that “pearl jewelry was very present,” the same was true for yellow gold jewelry in 14-karat, 18-karat, 22-karat, and 24-karat fineness. Significantly, men’s jewelry also continues its upward trajectory.
Jewelry innovations in 2022
The lab-grown diamond is one of the major trends driving luxury jewelry. By definition conservative, this sector is currently evolving. For example, Benny Landa, inventor and founder of LUSIX, a leading producer of lab-grown diamonds (LGD), announced during JCK that LVMH Luxury Ventures, Ragnar Crossover Fund, More Investments, and other entities had just injected 90 million dollars into the Israel-based company. LVMH is the owner of Tiffany & Co., Bulgari, and other major luxury jewelry brands. LUSIX relies on renewable energy to produce its man-made diamonds.
