Protect
Protect your store and your people
Thieves and fraud rings work the whole state. Members hear about it fast — from jewelers, for jewelers.
Security alerts
Moderated alerts about thefts, robberies, fraud and suspicious activity targeting jewelers — sent by email with photos and a printable PDF for your team, rated by color and level so you know at a glance how serious and how close.
View alerts →Report an incident
Something happen at your store, or someone suspicious come through? Report it confidentially and the association can warn every member store.
Report an incident →Grow
Grow your business
Be found by customers, learn from the best in the industry, and show off your work.
Find a Jeweler listing
A verified listing in the public directory of Indiana's independent jewelers — your logo, services, contact details and team — for shoppers searching by city, ZIP or service.
See the directory →Annual Conference pricing
A full day of education, vendors and networking. Members register their first attendee free and $65 for each additional — non-members pay $195 for the first seat.
Conference details →Design Competition
Enter your best custom piece at no charge. Category winners receive a trophy and a winner's window decal, and every entry is on display at the conference.
Enter a piece →Connect
Connect with Indiana's jewelers
Advice, referrals and answers from people who run stores just like yours.
Member forum
A private community to ask questions, trade advice and talk shop. Follow the discussions you care about and get notified when someone replies.
Open the forum →Jewelry Exchange
Trade aged inventory for new-to-you pieces from fellow Indiana jewelers — in person, with clear rules and approved forms. Not a marketplace.
How it works →Find a Vendor
A directory of suppliers, refiners and service providers who support Indiana's jewelers — vendor members are tagged so you always know who's who on the forum.
Browse vendors →Your team
One membership covers your whole store
The store is the member — not one person — so everyone who works with you can take part.
Accounts for your team
Invite your managers, sales staff and bench jewelers. Each person gets their own login for alerts and the forum, and you choose the 'hats' they wear.
Invite your team →Your member dashboard
What's happening across the association in one place — upcoming events, recent alerts, discussions you follow and IJA news — plus your profile and receipts.
