Albuquerque, New Mexico – Rio Grande, a partner to jewelers since 1944, is expanding its presence at JCK 2025 with two distinct booth locations, offering attendees a broader opportunity to engage with its extensive range of tools, equipment and raw materials in addition to a new location on level 2 showcasing finished jewelry and customization services.
This expansion highlights Rio Grande’s commitment to supporting its customers, especially in navigating ongoing fluctuations in gold pricing, diamond markets and shifting tariff conditions.
For over 80 years, Rio Grande has prioritized the success of customers by delivering stable pricing, product availability and responsive solutions in uncertain times. Amid rising concerns about tariff-driven price increases, market shifts and supply chain fluctuations, Rio Grande remains committed to supporting customers with competitive pricing and dependable service.
“We understand that volatility in gold, diamonds, and tariffs presents real challenges for jewelers,” said Arien Gessner, President of Rio Grande.
“Our goal is to protect our customers by keeping pricing competitive and ensuring they have the materials and resources they need to succeed. With strong U.S. manufacturing and connections through our sister companies – Richline, Leach Garner, and J.C. Nordt – we are able to provide stability in an unpredictable market.”
Discover Rio Grande at Two Booth Locations
JCK attendees can visit two dedicated Rio Grande booths to explore a full spectrum of jewelry solutions:
· Level 1 (Booth #56096) – Showcasing Rio Grande’s selection of tools, supplies and production equipment, as well as raw materials essential for jewelry creation.
· Level 2 (Booth #11093) – This new location will feature Rio Grande’s expanded fine jewelry division, including diamonds and custom design solutions, reflecting its enhanced capabilities through Richline Group.
Unlike many suppliers, Rio Grande manufactures and sources many of its products within the U.S., ensuring reliable access to high-quality materials while mitigating the impact of global disruptions. The company remains focused on long-term partnerships, not just transactions, delivering the products, expertise and services jewelers need to thrive.
“By expanding our presence at JCK, we’re providing jewelers with twice the opportunity to engage with Rio Grande,” added Gessner. “Whether you’re looking for tools, equipment and materials or exploring new finished jewelry solutions, our team is here to support your success.”
