JIS Fall 2026 Draws 11,000 Jewellery Professionals as Attendance Rises 12%

Dubai, 21 Oct 2026: JIS Fall 2026 welcomed more than 11,000 jewellery professionals to the Miami Beach Convention Center from October 16 to 19, recording a 12% increase in attendance compared with last year. The four-day event brought together retailers, manufacturers and industry professionals from across the United States, Latin America, the Caribbean and other markets.

The show gave buyers an opportunity to source jewellery and accessories ahead of the holiday season, with options for immediate delivery and future orders. Visitors explored fine jewellery, fashion jewellery, gemstones and other products to prepare their retail collections for the months ahead.

Sara McDonough, Event Director of JIS, described the event as one of the strongest in its history, highlighting record-breaking attendance and the energy across the show floor. She said the event helped bring the jewellery community together for sourcing, discovery and networking.

Under the theme “Spark Holiday Success”, JIS Fall 2026 featured activities designed to inspire retailers and encourage engagement. A gift-wrapping demonstration offered practical ideas for stores, while the Gem Color Forecast invited attendees to predict the gemstone colour trends they expect to see in the coming year. The Puppies and Personalization experience also provided visitors with a light-hearted break from business activities.

Networking continued beyond the exhibition floor with the opening-night Welcome Reception and JIS Unwrapped, a Saturday evening gathering featuring drinks and a photo opportunity. These activities created additional opportunities for buyers and exhibitors to exchange ideas and build professional connections.

The next event, JIS Spring, is scheduled to return to the Miami Beach Convention Center from March 7 to 9, 2027.
