COVID-19 Resources
support for you, your family, and your business

The heart of WJA has always been the jewelry community and we believe now, more than ever before, the sense of belonging is paramount to our success and will help us overcome the social, mental and economic impact of our situation. We have created this resource page to share important messages and links to information to help you navigate resources for you and your family, and your business. We are all in this together and we look forward to coming out stronger and more connected than ever before.
WJA is proud to be part of the Jeweler Support Network, a resource spearheaded by the Diamond Producers Association, providing resources and support to independent local jewelers.
If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to WJA Executive Director, Jennifer Markas at jennifer@womensjewelryassociation.com
