The Hamptons Jewelry Show returns to the East End, beginning July 23 and running through July 26 at the Southampton Fairgrounds.
After making its debut last year, this year’s show is set to be the largest and most impactful direct-to-consumer fine jewelry event in the United States, according to a press statement from the jewelry show, offering a unique opportunity for collectors and jewelry lovers to purchase directly from designers, makers, and owners, eliminating traditional retail markups and allowing guests to discover exceptional pieces at compelling values. Featuring 90 curated jewelry exhibitors, 300 showcases and an estimated 5,000 to 8,000 jewelry and watch pieces, the fair brings together renowned designers and dealers from eight countries, showcasing contemporary fine jewelry, signed estate pieces, and luxury timepieces in one destination.
“We bring together a dynamic mix of contemporary designer jewelry, signed and unsigned estate pieces of exceptional quality, and a wide selection of luxury watches,” says Rick Freidman, executive director and founder of Hamptons Jewelry Show.
While most jewelry shows focus exclusively on either antique and estate pieces or contemporary designs, Hamptons Jewelry Show is curated from a collector’s perspective, bringing together all categories of fine jewelry and watches under one roof.

“We believe the ideal shopping experience should reflect how collectors actually build their collections, style themselves, and make purchases today: through a combination of both,” Freidman says. “The show offers guests the opportunity to discover everything from innovative contemporary designers to important estate pieces in one setting. Our Italian Designer Pavilion showcases emerging and established brands from Italy, highlighting the craftsmanship and creativity behind Made in Italy, while our Studio Artisans Galleria presents a curated selection of leading American goldsmiths creating exceptional one-of-a-kind works. By bringing together a diverse range of categories and styles, we encourage guests to explore the entire 36,000-square-foot show floor and discover pieces that feel personal, collectible and meaningful.”
The collections span every major category, including earrings, necklaces, brooches, rings, bracelets and watches, with offerings for both women and men. Showcaseing design houses are slated to include Buccellati, Boucheron, Bulgari, Cartier, Chanel, David Webb, Harry Winston, Hermès, Tiffany & Co., and Van Cleer & Arpels, alongside coveted watchmakers like Rolex, Patek Phillipe and Audermars Piguet. According to Freidman, most pieces are priced between $500 and $50,000, with a strong selection in the $5,000 to $25,000 range.
Held across 17 acres at the Southampton Fairgrounds (605 County Road 39, Southampton), the event also features designer lounges, live music, curated dining experiences and complimentary on-site parking. For more information, click here.
