Jewelers of America (JA), the national trade association for businesses serving the fine jewelry marketplace, and MJSA have finalized and signed an affiliation agreement intended to unite and strengthen the industry. The decision to affiliate was announced in May and since then, the associations have been working diligently to integrate their operations and complete the agreement's details.
