Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show: Showcasing the Most Collectible Merchandise from Across the Globe
Gain access to the most exclusive and coveted antique pieces from trusted dealers during Las Vegas Jewelry Week.
Brought to You By The Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show
The 2025 Las Vegas Antique Jewelry and Watch Show (LVAJWS), taking place June 5-8 at Wynn Las Vegas, is an exclusive opportunity during Jewelry Market Week for sourcing antique, vintage and estate jewelry and timepieces from esteemed dealers hailing from across the globe. Catering to motivated, qualified buyers, this strategically curated event features jewelry from venerable maisons such as Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, David Webb and Verdura, as well as unsigned, one-of-a-kind period pieces from Georgian through retro eras. Visitors can also discover pre-owned and vintage watches from brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier and Audemars Piguet, allowing buyers to source coveted, difficult-to-find items from trusted, pre-owned luxury timepiece dealers.
The market for collectable, high-end jewelry and timepieces is dynamic, with pieces often selling for well over retail value or far exceeding auction estimates. Access is another barrier between a collector and the watch or historically relevant jewelry of their dreams, with scarcity driving demand and increased interest adding to the competition for limited inventory. At the Las Vegas Antique Jewelry and Watch Show, attendees can not only bypass these barriers to source an item for a particular client, or to stock their cases with best sellers, but also forge long-term relationships with dealers that can benefit their businesses throughout the year.
LVAJWS dealers are among the most well-respected in the world, and their expertise is often sought out by journalists, writers and curators who are seeking background information about specific pieces, or looking for information about the current landscape of the market. At each of their stands, LVAJWS attendees can chance upon items that they’ve only previously seen in coffee table books or behind the cases of museum displays, and learn about the provenance and historical context of the designs.
With complimentary admission granted to qualified buyers, LVAJWS is perfectly positioned to help retailers set themselves apart in a competitive environment. From Georgian cluster rings to Victorian mourning jewelry to Art Deco engagement rings to bold, retro era cocktail rings to a Rolex Oyster Perpetual, period jewelry and vintage and estate timepieces can open up an entirely new market segment for retailers that appeals to a wide range of jewelry and timepiece enthusiasts. With a growing trend among consumers towards mixing contemporary pieces with unique, antique, vintage and estate items, high-end retailers already have the loyalty of the consumers on the hunt for these bespoke looks. The elegant and sophisticated environment of Wynn Las Vegas is the perfect backdrop to take a journey through history and uncover jewelry and timepieces that can only be seen at LVAJWS.
