Norwalk, CT, January 24, 2008: JCK, the leading producer of trade events in the fine jewelry industry, today announced the launch of the ultimate destination jewelry event, LUXURY Bermuda. LUXURY Bermuda, which is slated to take place for the first time March 15-18, 2009 at the Fairmont Southampton Resort in Bermuda, will target the jewelry industry’s most elite US & European retailers and brands in an intimate relaxed environment.

With 60 exhibitors and 120 hosted stores, LUXURY Bermuda will truly be an exclusive, high-end show for only the best! The retailers will be invited based on criteria set forth by the LUXURY Advisory Board. The exhibitors will go through an application process, with current LUXURY & PREMIERE exhibitors having automatic acceptance on a first-come, first-serve basis.

LUXURY Bermuda will follow a similar by-invitation only model to LUXURY & PREMIERE in Las Vegas, hosting the top U.S., European and Caribbean retailers in the industry for one day of business conference and three days of buying in an all-salon, breathtaking ballroom setting.

Yancy Weinrich, Industry Vice President for LUXURY by JCK, stated, “The industry is in need of an intimate, niche event, in the mid-March time frame, exclusively dedicated to the high-end brands. LUXURY Bermuda will allow these elite buyers and manufacturers to take the time to evaluate inventory needs after the holidays, and then come together in a private, exclusive setting to network, build relationships, and make the business deals that form a strong foundation for the entire jewelry industry.”

While in Bermuda, retailers and exhibitors will experience true star treatment. Carefully planned networking and social events, including AAA Four Diamond dining, cocktails, evening entertainment, keynote addresses, and island activities, will allow LUXURY Bermuda exhibitors and retailers to build long lasting business relationships.

The mid-March timing of the event makes it ideal for the industry’s leading retailers looking to fill-in from the holiday season, prior to the larger LUXURY & PREMIERE and JCK Las Vegas events.

At just 650 miles off the coast of North Carolina, Bermuda is a short, convenient flight from both the U.S. and London. The year-round mild semitropical climate with temperatures ranging from 68 to 84 degrees makes LUXURY Bermuda the must-attend event for high-end jewelry retailers in 2009!
