There’s a New Jewelry Show Coming to Florida
The inaugural Fort Lauderdale Jewelry, Antique, & Object Show will be held from Jan. 28 through Feb. 1, 2027.
Event organizer KIL Promotions is hosting its inaugural Fort Lauderdale Jewelry, Antique, & Object Show this winter.
New York—KIL Promotions, the organizer behind the New York City Jewelry, Antique, & Object Show (NYCJAOS) and other jewelry shows, is bringing a new show to Florida.
The inaugural Fort Lauderdale Jewelry, Antique, & Object Show (FLJAOS) will be held at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from Jan. 28 through Feb. 1.
The five-day show will showcase around 150 antique galleries, jewelry designers, vintage and antique jewelry dealers, and luxury object makers.
“Florida has long been a haven for luxury consumers in the winter season, and many of our clients, both dealers and shoppers, are regularly in the sunshine state in January,” said Konstantinos I. Leoussis, founder of KIL Promotions.
“We aim to bring the same relaxed hospitality and comfortable shopping experience that has made NYCJAOS such a thriving success to the Ft. Lauderdale area.”
There’s a strong demand across generations for vintage and antique jewelry and watches, he said, driven by celebrity style.
“Today’s consumer wants more access to rarities from the world’s leading dealers. Our show not only gives them that access; it also adds the experience of discovery and the element of surprise that cannot be achieved online.”

The event will also have an educational component, with jewelry author and historian Beth Bernstein hosting a tour of the show.
Guests will visit with various dealers who can share their insight on jewelry through the ages, from the 1700s through the 1970s. Those interested will need to sign up to secure a spot.
Bernstein will also moderate a panel discussion to guide shoppers on what to look for or ask about when buying vintage and antique jewelry.
Tickets to the show are complimentary and available on the FLJAOS website.
The show will be open to the public from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday to Sunday, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday.

Leoussis, who is also a jewelry designer, launched NYCJAOS in 2023. KIL Promotions also runs the Jeweled Collective pop-up and acquired the Hillsborough Antiques + Art + Design Show last year. The show has a new name and location this year.
