The Michigan Jewelers Association was founded by Max Jennings of St. Clair, in 1905, and is believed to be the first state jewelers association to be organized. That same year, the first annual convention and trade show were held. The convention and trade show continued until 2003.
The Michigan Jewelers Association became a division of MRA in November 1956.
