The jewelry industry was recently abuzz at the immensely successful 2023 JCK event, which featured over 30,000 industry professionals from over 100 countries. The excitement was palpable as attendees nurtured old and new relationships and learned more about market trends and innovations.

Shortly before the event, JCK sat down with JBT President Erich Jacobs at the AGS Conclave 2023 to give his take on the health of the industry and the impacts of lab-grown diamonds’ proliferation.
