The jewelry industry’s go-to resource, Buyer’s Guide

 

Manufacturing Jewelers & Suppliers of America (MJSA), the trade alliance dedicated to professional excellence in jewelry making and design, has published the 2024-25 edition of its annual Buyer’s Guide, the industry’s most complete resource for the equipment, supplies, and services needed to make, sell, and repair jewelry.

 

A prime resource for jewelry manufacturers and designers since 1927, the Guide lists suppliers and subcontractors offering hundreds of jewelry-making products and services— from abrasives and anodizing to XRF analysis and zircon.

 

To make sourcing easier, they are broken down into several categories, including Beads, Business Equipment & Services, Chain, Contract Manufacturing Services, Findings, Gemstones, Packaging & Display, and Tools & Equipment. The 2024–25 Buyer’s Guide also includes several articles to help readers make the best investments possible:

 

Al Gilbertson, product manager of cut-research at GIA’s Carlsbad Laboratory, offers an illustrated overview of how to determine whether a piece of jewelry is “fit for purpose”—i.e., designed and made to suit the application for which it is intended.

 

Three award-winning designers describe their favorite gemstone purchases, and the creations that resulted.

Le Vian’s 2025 Trends Forecast offers a road map for developing inspired—and sought-after—designs and collections in the year ahead.

 

The 192-page Guide is free to MJSA members and also available to non-members with charge.
