Gregson is a London- and Los Angeles-based designer who has cultivated an impressive set of taste-making stores like Net-a-Porter, Quadrum Gallery and Twist. Known for a modern, bohemian aesthetic that makes bold gemstones wearable for everyday (think gemstone and silk cord bracelets, or hand-engraved zodiac pendants), we’re most excited about the engraved enamelwork she’s recently been delivering.
She’ll be exhibiting at booth 419.

Debra Navarro is a jewelry industry newcomer who is quickly making waves with her refined treatment of rough gemstones. Rough aquamarine and pink tourmaline set into 18-karat gold cocktail rings are at once rustic and sophisticated, while natural color diamonds make classics like hoop earrings feel new.
See Navarro at booth 211.

German-born, San Francisco-based Petra Class lets the gemstones she hand-selects dictate her designs. Known for her bezel settings, she combines primarily rough stones with high-karat gold to create impressive cuffs and articulated bracelets.
She’ll be at DC20 at the show.
A full list of JCK Tucson exhibitors is available here. The jewelry trade show is set to take place Feb. 6-9.
