Here’s a Sneak Peek of New Jewelry to Check Out at JCK
Luxury kicks off today, with the full show in swing on Friday.
![This year, JCK Luxury exhibitor Lauren K will showcase new additions to its “Gypsy” collection, launched at the jewelry trade show in 2022. Lauren K gold and gemstone rings](https://uploads.nationaljeweler.com/uploads/24d1d50be65932cebfd850820af446fb.jpg)
Tomorrow, Gems and JCK Talks begin, while the show’s full roster of more than 2,000 exhibitors will be open for business beginning Friday.
It’s enough to overwhelm even the most seasoned visitor. Below, find a breakdown of 23 essential stops to add to the schedule.
Tzuri dedicates itself to perfecting specific design concepts that are often years in the making, like its “Expression Collection,” featuring solid gold renditions of pencils turned into bracelets, rings, and necklaces that are a luxe interpretation of the saying, “The pen is mightier than the sword.”
For JCK, the Beverly Hills-based brand will unveil the “Ethos Collection Bracelet.” Executed in 18-karat yellow, white, or rose gold, the bracelet features rotating spheres.
See it at Luxury, booth 1100A.
