Southampton, N.Y.—A new direct-to-consumer retail jewelry show is coming to the Hamptons this summer. 

The inaugural Hamptons Jewelry Show is set for July 24-27 and will take place at the Southampton Fairgrounds, welcoming more than 80 jewelry and watch dealers from around the world.  

A 70,000-square-foot climate-controlled pavilion will feature an art gallery-like setting with a carpeted floor on a raised platform, as well as outdoor dining and a wine and spirits bar.  

The show will integrate designers and goldsmiths with elite estate jewelers, as well as major national and international brands.  

It will feature a wide selection of fine jewelry pieces, including 17th century artifacts, Art Deco pieces, estate jewelry, and modern-day bespoke designs.  

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.

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.

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.

Following the preview, the show will be open July 25-27 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. 

General admission tickets are $40.
