Participating designers and dealers include Tamsen Ann Ziff of Tamsen Z, De Beers Award-winner Cornelis Hollander, estate jewelry dealer Rick Shatz, Thailand-based contemporary jeweler Mousson Atelier, and luxury certified pre-owned timepieces leader Phigora Watches.
Award-winning pieces will be available, such as designer Jonathan Lee Rutledge’s “Blue Waters” necklace, which won a Spectrum award in 2014, as well as rare diamond jewelry such as Italian diamond company Scarselli Diamonds’ $3.5 million fancy pink diamond ring.
Other exhibitors include fine jewelry designer Alexis Barbeau, sewn metal/hand-stitched silver and gold jewelry design house Caps Brothers, estate and antique jeweler Craig Evan Small, gem carver and goldsmith Don McCoy Fine Jewelry, South Africa-based Jenni Gault International Jewelry Design, museum quality creator Michael Boyd Studio, designer Joon Han, whimsical jewelry brand Ox-NY, hip-hop jewelry specialist Padvamati Diamonds, and experimental enamellist Shana Kroiz.
Newly launched brand Hartley Vandâr will bring a fancy vivid gray lab-grown diamond, billed as the only one in the world.
Exhibitor offerings will also include signed pieces from Buccellati, Boucheron, Bulgari, Cartier, Chanel, De Beers, David Webb, Harry Winston, Hermes, Piaget, Tiffany & Co., and Van Cleef & Arpels.
Show director Hilary Joy Diaz, New York-based jewelry designer and founder of Hilary Joy Couture, will present the new event with Rick Friedman, founder of the Hamptons Fine Art Fair.
Organizers said the show is the largest marketplace of jewelry and watches ever assembled in the Hamptons and aims to establish itself as one of the largest shows in the country to be open to the public.
A VIP opening preview will take place July 24 from 5 to 9:30 p.m., benefiting the Longhouse Reserve, a 16-acre sculpture garden and community staple in East Hampton.
VIP preview tickets are $200.
