I've posted stuff about JCK before on my blog but didn't really have many people say anything, so I figured I should really do a more thorough post and see if it helps anyone find another jewelry/business resource. I love it. I'd love to go to the JCK show in Tucson this year, but since I'm not a high-end retail jewelry store owner buying inventory, an up and coming designer that they are featuring or a journalist for a super fashion/retail mag, I guess I'll just have to settle for reading about it over on the JCK blog and in the next issue of the magazine! :-) But oh how I'd love to attend that show and be a fly on the wall.

I'm all signed up to receive newsletters and in fact I already received my first one. I am a "researcher" too - and love to learn more when I can. I'm not sure how this resource slipped by me but it will nice angle - different from the how-to beading magazines. The designers you featured are amazing. I especially love the ring by Sarah Graham!

While I receive a few magazines "hard copy", I do so much "research" - (like you!) online ...be it blogs, websites, magazines etc. I recently commented "to myself" that I have become way "too digital". My downtime everyday is the couch after dishes are done, etc. and that IPad of mine is firmly in my grip. I miss books and magazines! Love the Todd Reed rings - LOVE THEM!Patti Vanderbloemenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14899971311953499881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2436550535995544186.post-11877826855991057362014-01-10T17:58:29.500-06:002014-01-10T17:58:29.500-06:00You're so very welcome Lynda - glad I was able...You're so very welcome Lynda - glad I was able to give you a new 'source' of inspiration and information!!

Never heard of this publication, but the website has plenty more to enjoy, even without having a magazine subscription (although that may be on the horizon too!). Some of the blogs look particularly interesting.

I hadn't heard of this one until I wrote the article on you :) I'm not sure I have any one source, I read tons of blogs, magazines and of course dig into history be it magazine, museum or otherwise. I love learning about the history behind things - especially jewelry!

Everyone who worked there still misses it too. Happy that JCK is thriving and bringing us gorgeous jewelry each month!ckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09626217520131972695noreply@blogger.com
