RAPAPORT... The New York Antique Jewelry & Watch Show, which is scheduled for July 24 to 27 at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan, confirmed at least 100 "elite dealers" will participate in the show, presenting sought-after collections and gems. The show will run concurrently with the JA New York summer show at the Javits Convention Center and attendees at JA New York will receive complimentary access to the New York Antiques Jewelry & Watch Show on July 27 at 9 a.m., two hours before the show opens to the public, according to the organizers.
"The New York Antique Jewelry & Watch Show has consistently been one of the most successful events in our national show portfolio. With this accomplishment, our group has decided to expand the show, offering additional booths to our antique jewelry and watch dealers. Attendees will enjoy the increase in showcased merchandise and dealers will have the chance to purchase pieces from their industry peers who have not previously exhibited at the show. This improvement is a win-win for all," said Dan Darby, Emerald Expositions' vice president and U.S. Antique Shows' general manager. Frank Kravitz of Jeral Jewelers Inc. added, "It's an enjoyable event to participate in because I get the opportunity to interact with dealers that I've worked with on the tradeshow circuit for decades. It feels like a small family reunion in one of the best cities in the country." During the event in 2014, organizers stated that the summer show achieved its highest attendance for any Antique Show under its direction. U.S. Antique Shows, a division of Emerald Expositions, produces antique and antique jewelry trade events in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Miami Beach and New York. The jewelry portfolio is comprised of trade and consumer events including, the U.S. Antique Shows division, Couture, JA New York (summer and winter), and JA Special Delivery.
