Every jewelry retailer carries a set of legal responsibilities that directly affect risk, reputation, and long term business health, yet many owners and managers only revisit these issues when a problem arises. This session, led by the Jewelers Vigilance Committee, provides a clear and current refresher on the legal landscape that governs retail jewelry operations.

Topics may include the FTC Jewelry Guides, advertising and pricing rules, AML obligations, tariffs, sourcing disclosures, and other areas where missteps can be costly. The focus is practical.

Attendees will learn how legal awareness protects their business, strengthens consumer trust, and creates a more resilient operational foundation. This is an opportunity to update your understanding, correct outdated assumptions, and gain confidence in the compliance areas that support long term stability and customer loyalty.
