Southampton, N.Y.—The Hamptons Jewelry Show (HJS) is returning for a second year, slated to take place in Southampton, New York, from July 23-26.

The open-to-the-public show is a marketplace designed to connect dealers and designers directly with a “sophisticated, decisive, and wealthy clientele.”

Exhibitors include estate jewelers, major international brands, and goldsmiths alongside both established and emerging designers.

Among the new exhibitors this year is Charles Oudin, a Parisian watchmaker founded in 1797 renowned for crafting feminine jewelry timepieces in 18-karat gold and diamonds.

Also new is German Kabirski, a brand known for its one-of-a-kind modern pieces popular with celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Halle Berry, and Kylie Jenner.

Additional new exhibitors include Ana Katarina, Corosèna, Dinaro Creations, Fancy Creations Inc., Mary van der Aa, S. Georgios, Studio Javo, Swari Jewelry, Third Act Vintage, and pre-owned watch seller Carbon Watch Company.

At this year’s show, attendees with an interest in Italian craftsmanship can explore the Piazza Italia's Italian Designer Pavilion to meet and buy directly from Italian brands, manufacturers, and emerging designers.

There is also the Studio Artists Galleria, a section organizers describe as “an all-star team of today’s most creative jewelry artisans and goldsmiths in the world whose workmanship and materials are at the highest handcrafted level.”

New exhibitor Alp Sagnak, a Turkish jewelry design studio with a New York outpost producing innovative, edgy, talismanic pieces, can be found in the galleria alongside returning exhibitor South Africa-based Jenni Gault.

Other returning exhibitors include Brilliant Stars, Getana & Co., estate jewelry seller Greenwich Bazaar, Heera Moti, Shana Kroz, and Treasure Jewelry, an estate dealer with signed and collectible pieces and a large selection of Cartier pieces.

The show will take place in Southampton Fairgrounds’ 36,000-square-foot complex located on County Road 39, near downtown Southampton Village.

Local dining options will be available. There will also be a VIP Lounge and two large indoor bars offering diverse wine and spirit selections.

Last year's inaugural HJS saw more than 4,000 in attendance.

The event featured over $500 million in dynamic pieces with something for every budget, organizers said.

There were 107 exhibitors from 8 countries and 20 states.

Exhibitor offerings included pieces from Buccellati, Boucheron, Bulgari, Cartier, Chanel, David Webb, Graff, Harry Winston, Hermès, Piaget, Tiffany & Co., Van Cleef and Arpels, along with luxury timepieces from brands like Rolex, Patek Philippe, Cartier, Audemars Piaget, and Vacheron Constantin.

The most valuable sale last year was a signed piece of estate jewelry for $120,000.

HJS is produced by the same team who present the Hamptons Fine Art Fair, which takes place two weeks prior at the same venue.

Those who attend the 2026 art fair, which is celebrating its 20th year, will receive free entry to the jewelry show.

HJS is curated and directed by Hilary Joy Diaz, a local Southampton resident and industry veteran with a design and manufacturing background.

The VIP Opening Preview will take place July 23 from 5 to 9:30 p.m.

Tickets to the public are $200 for the VIP Preview.

Day passes for July 24-26 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. are $70.

Tickets will be available to purchase soon.

Those interested in exhibiting can apply on the HJS website.
