HERE WE ARE

HERE WE ARE is a strategic initiative aimed at tackling inequity and underrepresentation in the jewelry industry through meaningful action. Launched in 2019, the program spotlights creators and raises awareness about diversity, inclusion, equity, representation, and allyship.

Each year, in line with our mission and core values, we support a diverse range of jewelers, artists, and designers from across the United States.

EQUITY STATEMENT

NYC Jewelry Week champions equity and inclusion, actively supporting our community through five core tenets: Awareness + Education + Empowerment + Opportunity + Sustainability.

NYC Jewelry Week embraces responsibility and accountability and commits to cultivating a diverse and inclusive culture within the jewelry community through our programs, platform, and initiatives. We take a stand against racism. NYCJW actively builds an environment that promotes diversity, inclusion, mindfulness, relationships, and dialogue.

We designed our strategic initiatives to break down barriers for underrepresented jewelers by providing access to information and resources. NYC Jewelry Week also create professional and economic growth opportunities while promoting accessibility and sustainability within the industry.

Everyone makes up an inclusive community, and we commit to serving everyone with jewelry for all. We commit to the engagement and inclusion of everyone regardless of age, culture, ability, education, gender, gender identity, language, origin, race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or veteran status. We use our platform to build a culture that is inclusive through awareness, education, and empowerment. Through our partnerships we provide opportunities that sustain the artists, designers, and creatives we serve.
