The event is built around PJX’s founding pillars—learning, connection, and commerce. Attendees, whether fresh to the craft or seasoned in the art of permanent jewelry, will gain invaluable insights into marketing, welding techniques, sales strategies, bookkeeping, and overall business operations. Past expos have featured industry leaders such as Ashley Donnell, Cat McDonald, Dana Ho, Danielle Watt, Jake Randolph, Lyndi Love, Melissa Muir, Shari Tammietti, Jen Thyrion, Joanna Jacobs, Christine Coughlin, Brianna Zenna, Angelique Fernlund, Tony Cruz, and Sarah Jenkins, offering a rare opportunity to learn directly from the best.

The Largest Permanent Jewelry Marketplace on the Planet

PJX boasts the biggest selection of permanent jewelry tools, supplies, and services in the world, bringing together over 30 exhibitors and the most trusted brands in the business. Attendees can browse and buy from major names like Sunstone, LINKED, Imprinted Supplies, Ross Metals, Oriental Treasure, Bead Boat, Kama Trading, JewelryMaking.com, Stones and Findings, Rie Beauty, PJ Bestie, and Essbe Jewelry Supply. It’s a one-stop shop for artists looking to upgrade their craft, stock up on materials, and connect with suppliers face-to-face.

Hands-On Workshops and Industry Insights

The 2026 edition promises not only an expanded exhibitor list but also a stronger educational component. Expect hands-on welding demonstrations, keynote speeches from leading innovators, and sessions focused on building a sustainable business model in the rapidly growing permanent jewelry market. According to Jonathan Young, CEO of Sunstone and founding sponsor of PJX, the mission has always been simple: “From day one, the goal has been to bring artists together to learn, connect, and grow.”

Early Registration and Exclusive Accommodation Rates

Early-Early Bird registration is already open, with the best ticket prices available until December 31, 2025. Attendees can also secure a special hotel rate of $99 per night plus a $30 nightly resort fee when booking within the PJX hotel block—an offer expected to sell out quickly. Staying at the Flamingo means guests will be right in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip, ensuring both convenience and entertainment after the expo floor closes each day.

Permanent Jewelry—A Lasting Trend with Meaning

For those new to the concept, permanent jewelry is welded directly onto a client’s body, typically as bracelets, necklaces, or anklets without a clasp. Popular for its minimalist elegance, personal symbolism, and durability, it’s a fashion statement that blends art with sentiment. Although designed to last, it can be easily removed if needed. The trend is booming globally, and with start-up costs between $2,500 and $5,000, many entrepreneurs are finding it a profitable niche through pop-ups, boutique services, and online sales.

A Must-Attend for 2026

With its unmatched marketplace, access to industry leaders, and focus on skill-building, PJX 2026 is set to be the most significant event yet for permanent jewelry professionals. The growing global demand for high-quality, clasp-free jewelry makes this expo not just a networking opportunity but a strategic investment in any artist’s future. Those who attend will leave with new knowledge, supplier contacts, and a renewed passion for their craft—positioning them for greater success in a competitive market.

The 4th Permanent Jewelry Expo in Las Vegas is shaping up to be more than just an event; it’s a celebration of artistry, entrepreneurship, and innovation in a rapidly expanding industry. Missing it could mean missing out on key growth opportunities and valuable connections that could shape your business trajectory for years to come.
