Programs
Advocacy:since 1906, jewelers of america (ja) has advanced the fine jewelry industry through advocacy in public, government, and industry affairs. Ja has long been a leader in promoting high ethical, social, and environmental standards within the jewelry trade. In 2025, ja integrated the operations of manufacturing jewelers & suppliers of america (mjsa) and the mjsa foundation to strengthen member services and provide a more unified voice for the industry. Through this integration, 631 mjsa members were brought into the ja membership community, expanding ja's reach and enhancing its ability to serve the diverse needs of the jewelry industry. In addition, ja launched the impact initiative, awarding $110,000 in grants to seven jewelry industry organizations from the $1 million ja industry fund established in 2024. The funding supported projects focused on sustainability, innovation, education, and the continued growth of the jewelry industry.
Member benefits:jewelers of america provides members with a broad range of benefits, including business resources, marketing tools, discount programs, educational scholarships, certification opportunities, and other member support resources available through ja's website. In 2025, ja introduced counterintelligence, a new member benefit and retail sales tool designed to support retail sales associates and provide objective, helpful information during the customer sales process. Two versions of the guide were launched in 2025, covering natural & lab-grown diamonds and metals. These resources strengthened ja's member value proposition by helping jewelers educate customers, support informed purchasing decisions, and improve the in-store sales experience.
Education:jewelers of america continued to educate consumers and industry professionals about fine jewelry through webinars, public relations, marketing, social media, and in-person education initiatives.

The 3 programs described on its FY2024 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $63M to $74M (+17%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
