Taking place at the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), The Collective features AGTA GemFair™ Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Antique Jewelry and Watch Show and PREMIER.The contemporary designers exhibiting in the PREMIER X Designer section of the show, such as Kate Hubley, of Montreal-based K8 Jewelry, and C. Allison Morgan and Elizabeth Reed, the Mother/Daughter team behind Charlotte Allison, embody a wide range of aesthetics. The common thread that unites the majority of the brands exhibiting in PREMIER is color. Whether paying homage to styles from the past, or incorporating colored gemstones with intricate enamel work and modern silhouettes, color will be prevalent throughout the show floor.
The vendors exhibiting in the Las Vegas Antique Jewelry and Watch Show are the most knowledgeable purveyors in the world in their areas of expertise. Dana Kiyomura of Keyamour chooses the pieces in her collection for their charm, whimsy, collectability and beauty. As with much of the jewelry on display throughout the show floor, the above pieces from the Victorian Era extensively highlight colored gemstones. The above locket features gorgeous ruby accents, while the pair of collet set amethyst bracelets ensures that the gemstones take center stage.
The vendors who exhibit in the AGTA GemFair™ Las Vegas maintain the highest ethical standards. From accent stones and melee, to museum-quality gemstones, attendees will have the opportunity to see a broad range of loose gemstones and pearls being showcased by some of the most well-respected gem experts in the world. Whether you're coming to shop, or coming to learn about newly discovered gem deposits or newsworthy collections, AGTA's exhibitors cover the spectrum!
