The first American jewelry show in 2023 will show fashion and business trends

Over the past two years, there have been many predictions of an imminent recession or partial recession. However, the economy appears to be strengthening. Encouraging signs include that inflation has moderated significantly over the past six months to reach 6.3 percent in December 2022, albeit very high. The labor market has shown remarkable resilience. US Labor Department data showed an increase of 517,000 jobs in January, leaving the unemployment rate at 3.4 percent, the lowest level since May 1969.

That’s why there was so much optimism among retailers and exhibitors at the Centennial Jewelry Show in Phoenix. The invitation-only show for luxury retailers and manufacturers serves as the first major jewelry trade show in the US in an environment conducive to networking and business. Some of the exhibitors at the event are widely recognized while others are well-known in the trade.

The show, which ran from January 28 – February 1, completed 22^Th year. Most of the invited exhibitors and retailers have been present for years but there were some newcomers. Among them, 16 jewelry manufacturers from Italy received the “Made in Italy” trademark under the name “Exclusive Italian Jewelry,” a promotional effort aimed at American jewelry by the Italian Trade Agency. The project was first announced in June 2022 when Italian officials said the United States was the biggest market for its jewelry at the time of the outbreak.

Among the exhibitors are contemporary high jewellers, Vernier, a handmade gold manufacturer, Pipo Perez, who produces interesting beauty and symbolic jewelry in high-quality materials, and fine jewelry brand Miseno.

Italian luxury jewelry brand Pasquale Bruni, which specializes in gold jewelry using unique gemstones, presents its latest piece from the nature-inspired Giardini Segreti in 18k rose and white gold scattered with diamonds.

Specializing in highly crafted 18k gold jewelry, Vendoraffa presents pieces from its new Torre Collection, inspired by the architecture of a battlefield castle.

Apart from Italian brands, American jewelry brand SYNA offers a wide variety of jewelry, including Jardine’s Emerald Vine earrings. A total of 17 carats of emerald cabochons set in 18k yellow gold with a grape-like pattern studded with diamond sprinkles resembling dew drops.

Based in Los Angeles, Lisa Nick by Lisa Nickfarjam combines colored gemstones and diamonds with sophisticated contemporary design. This year, she said, she is expanding her collection by focusing on ear climbing and layering.

Suna Bros., a promotional effort supported by Platinum Guild International, the marketing arm of the platinum jewelry industry, was showcasing a new line of platinum jewelry for both retail and commercial use called “Platinum Born.” Manufactured in Japan using innovative processes, these pieces are light and airy, flexible and delicately sculpted, expanding the possibilities of platinum jewelry creation.

Internationally renowned French diamond jewelery brand Mesica showcased jewelery from its High Jewelery Collection and D-Vibes Collection featuring diamond rows set in 18k gold.

Takori, a renowned diamond jewelery brand that creates bridal and fine fashion jewellery, had a range of natural and lab-grown diamonds at the event. Michael Dell, Tacori’s head of business development, said one trend is the increased demand for bridal jewelery in yellow gold. Additionally, while the round diamond remains the most popular shape, there is an increase in fancy-shaped diamonds as opposed to the traditional round diamond.
