World Jewelry Center Filling Up

Excitement still seems to be high as plans continue to create the World Jewelry Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. I’ve reported on this before and will continue to do so as I receive news I think it worth talking about. This latest release indicates an increase in interest as the building starts to fill up:<\/p>\n
Riding a wave of momentum that began in late 2006 and rapidly gained strength in 2007, the World Jewelry Center (WJC) has now signed 60 companies to Letters of Intent (LOI) to be part of the new international jewelry hub – an increase of 50 percent in just five weeks.<\/p>\n
After signing on an initial group of 10 leading firms by the time plans for the WJC were announced last October, the number grew to 41 by mid-February, after a flurry of presentations in the U.S. and overseas by WJC Managing Director Bill Boyajian and his team. The leap to 60 followed another series of worldwide presentations and trade show visits in February and March, backed by a comprehensive marketing, advertising, and publicity campaign.<\/p>\n
“Our recent trips to Istanbul, New York, and Hong Kong were just the latest that revealed the strong interest the World Jewelry Center has generated throughout the trade,” said Boyajian. “We have not only received uniformly enthusiastic responses to our presentations, but also consistent growth in the companies who are joining.”<\/p>\n
World Jewelry Center Participants Increase by 50% in Five Weeks (P. 2)<\/p>\n
“Clearly, leaders across the industry are increasingly grasping the WJC’s vision and the benefits of being part of such a unique global marketplace.”<\/p>\n
The 60 participants signed to this point account for a total of 164,000 square feet of building space in the WJC trade tower. “We are well ahead of schedule in attaining the milestones set for whole ownership office condominiums,” Boyajian noted; “and I’m fully confident this trend will continue. In the coming weeks, we will press ahead with a major presence at the international trade shows in Basel, Vicenza, and JCK Las Vegas.”<\/p>\n
“We will also be present at the AGS Conclave in Denver, the ICA Congress in Dubai, and make presentations in Mumbai, Bangkok, and Moscow. We invite business leaders throughout the industry to make an appointment for a personal presentation as we travel to their part of the globe, or to contact us for a Webcast presentation at a time of their convenience.”<\/p>\n
The latest firms to sign LOIs include: M.J. Christensen; Betlach; Susan Eisen Fine Jewelry & Watches; R.H. & Company; Silver Star Jewelry; Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company; Exclusive Gems; Cora International LLC; Gemological Institute for Precious Stones; Caretta, Inc.; Gold & Diamond Inc., Houston; Oro Diamante; Canadian Gem; Liberty I. Exchange; Mason-Kay; Steven L. Miller Professional Law Corporation; David Tishbi Handcrafted Jewelry; Global-findings.com Group, Ltd; and NK Supply.<\/p>\n
