What a whirlwind last week was! The Abingdon Co. – for the first time – participated in one of the largest international jewelery and watch trade shows for wholesalers and retailers - JCK Las Vegas. UN-BE-LIE-VA-BLE! Thousands of people attended from all over the world. It was such a great learning experience for how the industry works and to meet so many people from so many different places who do everything from gemstones and diamonds (many thanks to my new friend, Guy, for teaching me about gemology) to just watch bands or just gold jewelery or just bridal jewelery (yes, Mamie, I will come visit you in Eugene, Oregon!). I also found out what a small world we live in. I met a wonderfully kind person, Martin Petersen, Founder of Kadloo in Germany, who knows my friend, Daniel, in Zurich. An amazing show with great exposure for The Abingdon Co. – this show will be a fixture for many years.
