Registration opens for antique jewelry show
The Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show will offer watches, brooches and other jewelry from the Renaissance to Modern periods.

Las Vegas--Registration is now open for the annual Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show, which will offer jewelry items ranging from the Renaissance to Modern periods.
Pre-registration, which can be found here, is $30 and on-site registration is $50. The cost covers attendance for all four days of the show, scheduled for May 28 to 31 at the Paris Hotel and Casino.
This is the 19th edition of the Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show, which offers hundreds of dealers specializing in gemstone and diamond jewelry, retro watches, unique brooches, flora and fauna statement pieces and more, some dating back as far as the 14th century.
Signed pieces also will be available at the show, from brands including Cartier, Tiffany & Co., David Webb, Harry Winston, Patek Philippe and Van Cleef & Arpels.
“Last year, our show proved the increasing interest and importance of antique, estate and vintage jewelry with attendance increasing by 11 percent cumulatively despite tightened registration criteria for those wishing to attend,” said Dan Darby, general manager of U.S. Antique Shows, which is owned by Emerald Expositions, the same company that owns the Couture and JA New York shows.
“We’re very excited for this year’s event and are anticipating another increase in overall attendance as new exhibitors have been added to complement the list of well-known dealers. Attendees can again expect to see merchandise not previously available in this marketplace,” Darby added.
The Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show is open Thursday, May 28 to Saturday, May 30 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and also Sunday, May 31 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For additional information call 239-732-6642.
