Miami – October 21, 2026 -- JIS Fall 2026 drew more than 11,000 jewelry professionals to the Miami Beach Convention Center on October 16–19, a 12% increase in attendance year over year.
Buyers from the U.S., Latin America and the Caribbean source holiday stock
The four-day show brought together jewelry retailers, manufacturers and industry professionals from across the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean and beyond. Buyers could purchase inventory for immediate delivery or place future orders ahead of the holiday season.
The show floor covered fine and fashion jewelry, gemstones and accessories, as buyers built their assortments for the coming months.
Organizer calls attendance record-breaking
Sara McDonough, Event Director of JIS, described the edition as one of the strongest in the event's history, citing record-breaking attendance, and said the connections made would continue well beyond the show.
"Spark Holiday Success" programming targets retail operations
The show's "Spark Holiday Success" theme ran through several floor activations. A gift-wrapping demonstration gave retailers techniques to apply in their stores. The Gem Color Forecast asked attendees to predict the color they expect to shine in the coming year, and a Puppies and Personalization activation offered a break from the floor.
Evening events extend buyer-exhibitor contact
An opening-night Welcome Reception and the Saturday-evening JIS Unwrapped gathering, which included drinks and a photo opportunity, gave buyers and exhibitors further opportunities to meet after show hours.
