Frequently Asked Questions

The Showcase Jewellers Buying Group is owned by its members. All profits are returned to our members at the end of each financial year.

A jewellery buying group is an organisation that offers a wide array of business services and solutions to independent jewellers. A jewellery buying group enables collective buying power and discounts from retail suppliers that would otherwise be impossible for a small business to achieve singularly; also providing a wealth of services and resources to improve the operations of independently owned and operated businesses. A jewellery buying group also serves as an industry network for independent jewellers to connect and converse with other business owners, suppliers and industry staff, effectively creating a resourceful community of likeminded individuals that would otherwise struggle to intersect with one another.

Showcase Jewellers Conferences are a brilliant opportunity to meet and network with fellow independent jewellers, suppliers and the staff at Showcase Jewellers Buying Group. At our conferences, members have the opportunity to receive updates on services, products, training and many more resources to benefit their businesses.

Our conferences are held twice a year, in February and August.

There is no set location for each conference. We endeavor to choose our conference locations based on their convenience and overall potential to maximise our members’ experience during their stay. Members are informed as to the location of their next conference months in advance to ensure adequate notice.
