Nashville, Tenn.—Select Jewelry Shows has added a new show to its fall line-up in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Select Nashville show will be held Oct. 26-27 at the JW Marriott Hotel.

"Nashville, Tennessee was chosen as the location for our fourth annual show because it is an excellent market with strong household income levels," said Jordan Brockhaus-Spears, manager of Select. 

"Additionally, many of the nation’s top jewelers are conveniently located within driving distance of Nashville and the JW Marriott."

The timing of the Nashville show is just right for retailers looking to stock up for the holiday season, said organizers.
