Las Vegas Shows Garner Mixed Sentiments

The U.S. market seems to have embraced lab-grown diamonds.

One of the most sought after jewellery events, the Las Vegas shows witnessed a flurry of changes in terms of venues this year. JCK and LUXURY moved back to its old haunt Sands Expo from Mandala Bay. Antique and AGTA moved to Las Vegas Convention Hall along with a new show Premier, whereas COUTURE was at the same venue Wynn. With AGTA moving out to its competitor Emerald Exposition (organizers of Couture, Antique Show and PREMIER) JCK launched the Global Gemstone Neighbourhood, which featured around 175 gem dealers.
