For the better part of two years, events and trade shows were cancelled or held on a small scale. This year, the COUTURE 2022 Show felt like a return to normality. Jewellery designers are finding ways to bring back sparkle to the show. The preview on 8th June, 2022 gave editors the chance to meet with designers and browse through the new collections and to-be unveiled collaborations. As the evening rolled by, an enthusiasm to reunite in person was apparent. The shared appreciation for excellence in design and craftsmanship established a celebratory reunion among this tight-knit community, observed industry experts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt feels fantastic to be back at the Wynn Las Vegas,\u201d says Gannon Brousseau, COUTURE Director and EVP, Emerald. \u201cOur new event space is a phenomenal backdrop for the exceptional collections of our talented designers and brands and having the opportunity to enjoy one another\u2019s company in person is invaluable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Yael Reinhold from Reinhold Jewelers in Puerto Rico, \u201cthe show has such positive energy.\u201d She adds: \u201cEveryone is so happy to be back and really eager to buy! I am seeing so much incredible jewellery; I\u2019m delighted to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
