Select Jewelry Show Heads to Nashville
The trade show has added a new location to its fall line-up.

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.
The Select Jewelry Shows began in 2010, founded by Joe Carullo. The shows were designed to be more personal event, showcasing between 55 to 65 brands, where jewelers can network and build relationships with jewelry designers and manufacturers.
The shows are formatted as two-day events held Sunday to Monday, offering conveniently located venues, complimentary breakfast and lunch, and a cocktail party for all attendees.
Select will also hold shows at the Ritz-Carlton in Dallas from Aug. 24-25, at Connecticut’s Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino from Sept. 14-15, and at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C. from Sept. 28-29.
