Highlights from Las Vegas JCK
Sometimes it’s just easier with pictures…
Yes…it’s “Little E” busting moves with Chris DeCapri & yours truly at Chris’ first Annual MJIA Annual Las Vegas Dinner. Never heard of the MJIA? It’s the Misfit Jewelers Industry Association, a virtually unknown industry group that is dedicated to staying that way. Chris hosted the dinner at the Wynn’s lakeside restaurant in honor of Mark Motes induction to the MJIA hall of fame.
Our Ideal Marketing Group of jewelers gathered for both Thursday and Friday night Happy Hours at Ri-Ra Irish pub. It’s our excuse to talk business, throw back a few beers and write it all off!
Here is the Thursday gathering… Rick Beaulieu of Springers Jewelers, Nancy & Mark Schneider of Mask Schneider Design, Dave Mintzer of Dave S. Mintzer Co. , Patty Lane and Louis Michelson from Michelson Jewelers, Steve Williams of Williams Jewelers, and Tom Duma of Thom Duma Fine Jewelers. Great, great time!
You see its’ all about networking, and staying up on the latest critical technologies. Here is Patty Lane from Michelson Jewelers showing Diane Williams and Shaina Williams McNeill from Williams Jewelers how to quickly post embarrassing photos of fellow revelers on Face Book…
Ok…if we must talk business how about this 5.07 carat, D Flawless Cushion from Henri Daussi. This is the crown jewel for one of the best selling diamond lines I’ve ever seen! Henri Daussi has been a hit in every store in our group who has put the line in…just ask Chris DeCapri (Capri), Carl Saenger (American Jewelry Co) or Bill Campbell (McCaskill & Co.) for starters.
Speaking of Smoking!….this is one of the finest cigars I’ve ever smoked…the OSOK ( One shot-One Kill) by legendary LA photographer and jewelry designer Edgar Hoill. Edgar was hanging out a Davidoff after the Santana concert and was kind enough to autograph a box of his incredible cigars!
Well that’s all for now. When I fully recover, I’ll follow up with some more serious Vegas JCK info and discoveries…and thoughts about the coming year.
