Professional Excellence in Jewelry Making & Design
Since its incorporation in 1903, MJSA has helped jewelry makers, designers, and suppliers of all sizes achieve professional excellence and maintain their competitive edge. In joining MJSA, companies connect with the collective strength of the association’s membership. This better enables them to source supplies and services, gain access to needed technical and business expertise, and achieve maximum profitability. The MJSA advantage can be seen in several key areas.
MJSA Gives Its Members a Greater Voice in Government. Whether it involves a state law mandating safety procedures, federal legislation aimed at restricting lead content in children’s jewelry, or a trade bill that affects import tariffs, MJSA ensures that government officials understand the industry’s concerns. We also provide regular legislative updates on key issues, and supply our members with resources so they can comply with regulations cost-effectively.
MJSA Keeps Its Members Well Informed. From bench work and computer-aided design to online marketing strategies, MJSA provides insights into all aspects of making and selling jewelry. Through the award-winning MJSA Journal, our monthly e-newsletters, discounted MJSA Press books, in-depth seminars, our Custom Design Advantage, and customized research programs, MJSA members can access a range of expertise they won’t find anywhere else.
MJSA Promotes Its Members’ Products. Sales are the lifeblood of any business, and MJSA ensures its members have ample promotional opportunities. Every year, MJSA provides thousands of member referrals to buyers seeking everything from finished product to jewelry making supplies and services. It organizes events—most notably MJSA Expo New York—which enable buyers and sellers to connect face to face. It also provides professionally prepared press releases and product images for members, offers discounted advertising in all MJSA publications, and vigorously promotes the winners of its awards programs to ensure they gain the recognition that propels sales.
MJSA Provides Members-Only Discount Programs. MJSA contracts with world-class providers to give its members lower rates on everything from shipping to office solutions. In addition, through the Member to Member (M2M) program, MJSA enables its member companies to offer discounted supplies and services to one another, further benefiting each company’s bottom line.
