MJSA: Your Access to Expertise
MJSA’s membership includes renowned experts in everything from setting fragile gemstones to alloying metals to crafting a marketing plan that really moves product. They know how to create and sell beautiful jewelry—and, even more important, they’re willing to share that information with other members. In addition, MJSA has built a wide connection of legislative and business contacts outside the industry, so we can answer such questions as how to comply with new federal or state laws or how to export effectively.
The result: MJSA is the industry’s most authoritative resource for information on how to best design, make, and sell jewelry—and to do so profitably.
MJSA makes that information available in many ways. In addition to MJSA Online, the association produces a variety of publications—all of which are free or discounted for members.
MJSA Journal. The association’s award-winning monthly magazine, MJSA Journal provides the technical and business information its readers need to succeed. MJSA members receive a free subscription, which includes the annual MJSA Technology Sourcebook. The association also has an extensive archive of back articles from the magazine, which can be searched online. All articles are free for MJSA members.
MJSA Press. The books and DVDs of MJSA Press cover a wide range of topics, offering everything from tips for more effective bench work to guidance on establishing a successful jewelry design business. They are available through the industry’s leading book distributors, as well as Amazon.com. MJSA members can order the Press books, along with titles from other leading industry publishers, at discount prices in the MJSA Store.
MJSA Buyer’s Bookshelf. MJSA’s print Buyer’s Guide sorts members by the products and services they offer, enabling easy sourcing. And the MJSA Buyer’s Resource provides information about how to make the best purchasing decisions—from capitalizing on upcoming fashion trends to investing in capital equipment. Members receive free copies of each. The books are also available for sale through the MJSA Store.
MJSA E-newsletters. In addition to its print offerings, MJSA produces three monthly digital newsletters. MJSA Up to Date offers not only news about MJSA and its members, but also insights and information to help readers make the best business decisions. MJSA Showcase features the latest jewelry making supplies and services. And MJSA Legislative Update—available only to members—keeps readers informed about federal and state legislation that could impact the industry.
MJSA InfoResearch. While the publications cover a great deal, they don’t have the answer to every specific question. That’s why we created MJSA InfoResearch, so members can put the association and its connections to work for them. Members can send specific questions to MJSA; our staff will conduct the necessary research and provide a timely response.
