The only national jewellery trade show in Canada open to all jewellers, regardless of affiliation or membership.
An All-Inclusive Expo Uniting Jewellers Coast to Coast
If you’re a Canadian jeweller – whether an independent boutique owner, a designer-maker, or part of a major retail chain – Time & Shine Edmonton welcomes you. This is not just another trade show; it’s the only national jewellery trade event in Canada that’s open to all jewellers, no membership or association required. Time & Shine has quickly become a cornerstone gathering for our industry, bringing together jewellers, suppliers, and decision-makers from coast to coast. Jewellers from British Columbia to Newfoundland are invited to showcase, shop, and share under one roof, creating a truly pan-Canadian experience. The inclusive ethos means that every Canadian jeweller has a place at Time & Shine, fostering a sense of community and collaboration that transcends provincial lines and professional affiliations.
Time & Shine Edmonton stands apart for its national scale and inclusivity. Unlike some trade shows limited to association members or closed groups, this expo throws open its doors to all jewellery professionals. That means an independent Nova Scotia studio can network directly with a Vancouver supplier, or an Ontario retailer can discover a new Prairie designer – all in one vibrant venue. “What truly sets Time & Shine apart is the national scale of participation,” notes Canadian Jeweller Magazine, with wholesalers and exhibitors from across the country coming together to serve the industry. This rare opportunity allows any jeweller – from seasoned veterans to up-and-coming artisans – to meet face-to-face, compare offerings, and build partnerships in an efficient, high-energy setting. The message is clear: every jeweller in Canada belongs at Time & Shine, and everyone walks away with new connections and inspiration.
Supporting Canadian Businesses and Our Economy
Choosing Time & Shine isn’t just good for individual businesses – it’s good for Canada’s economy. By focusing on Canadian vendors and buyers, the show strengthens domestic supply chains and keeps investments local. In fact, jewellery retail is a significant economic driver: the market size of Canadian jewellery stores is over $5.6 billion in revenue, encompassing nearly 5,000 businesses nationwide. When our jewellers come together at a home-grown event, more of that commerce stays within Canada’s borders, fueling jobs and growth in our communities.
Time & Shine Edmonton is proudly “designed for Canadian jewellers, by Canadian jewellers,” focused on building a stronger, more connected industry right here at home. There’s no need to incur the cost and hassle of travelling abroad to find the latest products or trends. Unlike other high-calibre trade events that demand international travel, Time & Shine Edmonton offers everything you need – right here at home. No passports, no customs, no currency exchange – just a world-class trade show on Canadian soil. By attending, you’re not only saving money and time, you’re reinvesting in the local economy. Every order placed with a Canadian supplier and every partnership formed at the show helps “our economy shine” by boosting Canadian manufacturing and retail. It’s a win-win: your business gets cutting-edge products and deals, and the country benefits from the circulation of wealth internally.
Moreover, Time & Shine actively champions Canadian talent and entrepreneurship. The show floor is filled with Canadian designers and manufacturers showcasing their creations alongside international brands. Retailers often discover home-grown product lines that become bestsellers back in their stores, giving Canadian consumers more locally-sourced choices. This strengthens the entire value chain – from designers and wholesalers to retailers – keeping the Canadian jewellery sector vibrant and competitive globally. In an era where supporting local matters, Time & Shine makes it easy by putting Canada first in every facet.
Why Jewellers from Every Province Attend
Jewellery professionals from every corner of Canada flock to Time & Shine Edmonton – and for good reason. What’s the draw for a jeweller from another province? Simply put, they gain access to opportunities and insights they can’t find elsewhere. Here are just a few reasons jewellers nationwide make the trip:
- Nationwide Networking: Time & Shine is a unique chance to meet fellow jewellers and suppliers from across Canada in one place. A boutique owner from Halifax can share tips with a designer from Calgary, or a Toronto wholesaler can connect with retailers from the North, forging relationships that span the country. These cross-provincial connections often blossom into valuable partnerships and friendships, strengthening the national industry as a whole. As one attendee put it, “One weekend in Edmonton opened up a national network for my small shop that I wouldn’t have built otherwise.” Meeting peers beyond your local market broadens your perspective and support system. Jewellers leave feeling they’re part of a Canadian-wide community, not just isolated businesses.
- Latest Trends & Exclusive Previews: Time & Shine is where Canadian jewellers get the first look at upcoming trends, collections, and technologies. Exhibitors, large and small, unveil their newest offerings – from cutting-edge Canadian-made lines to international innovations – giving attendees a sneak peek at what’s next. Jewellers from distant provinces attend so they can stay ahead of the curve without having to fly to Las Vegas or Europe. They return home with knowledge of what styles and products will excite customers in the coming seasons. Being first to see new collections and exclusive launches means attendees can stock their stores with fresh finds and unique pieces that set them apart in their local market.
- Business Growth Opportunities: For many jewellers, especially those from smaller markets, Time & Shine Edmonton is a gateway to expand their business beyond their region. Retailers from Saskatchewan or Manitoba, for example, can meet suppliers from Ontario or Quebec that they might never encounter otherwise. Likewise, a BC-based jewellery maker might find new retail outlets in the Maritimes. Having the entire national supply chain in one room allows deals to be made on the spot, whether it’s securing a new distributor or discovering a cost-saving vendor. These opportunities to compare offerings and negotiate face-to-face “all in one efficient, high-impact setting” are invaluable. Jewellers from every province attend, knowing they can strengthen their business, be it through better pricing, unique inventory, or new markets, thanks to connections forged at the show.
- Education & Inspiration: Time & Shine isn’t just about buying and selling; it’s a learning experience. Jewellers from far and wide come to attend seminars, workshops, and panel discussions (on topics like digital marketing, ethical sourcing, design trends, and more) that can level up their business acumen. Whether you’re a seasoned retailer or a new designer, there’s always something new to learn from industry experts and peers. Many attendees say they leave Edmonton brimming with fresh ideas to implement back home, from merchandising tips to crafting techniques. This professional development aspect draws jewellers who want to stay sharp and inspired in a rapidly evolving market.
