About JIMA
The Jewelry Importers & Manufacturers Association International is a non-profit trade association established in 1991 for members of the jewelry industry.
Our History
JIMA was founded in 1991 by Daniel Liao with an inaugural membership of 30. Today the association encompasses over 200 dedicated jewelers, importers, and manufacturers from around the world.
For more than three decades, JIMA has been a home for the international jewelry trade community in America — a place where business gets done, friendships are formed, and the industry's collective voice is heard.
Our Mission
“JIMA's core purpose is to improve the economic and social welfare of our individual members and, in turn, our industry. We unite businesses dedicated to providing quality goods and services while promoting ethical business conduct.”
