The California Jewelers Association (CJA) has joined with other jewelry organizations to create the 2003 Western Jewelers Showcase, formerly the CJA Showcase. The Showcase, scheduled for Oct. 19, will be expanded to include more exhibitors and will move to a larger venue, the Universal Studios Globe Theater in Los Angeles.

The CJA joined forces with the Intermountain Jewelers Association, which includes members from Idaho, Nevada, and Utah; the Oregon Jewelers Association; the Pacific Northwest Jewelers Association, which includes Washington and Alaska; and the Rocky Mountain Jewelers Association, representing Colorado retailers.
