The Hamptons Jewelry Show opens its second edition on July 23 and runs through July 26, 2026, at the Southampton Fairgrounds in Southampton, New York, on Long Island’s South Fork. Organiser Rick Friedman, who also runs the Hamptons Fine Art Fair, presents the show alongside designer and curator Hilary Joy Diaz. Over one hundred jewellers, goldsmiths and estate dealers will fill the pavilion this year, and a new Italian Designer Pavilion appears on the floor for the first time.
The first edition drew 3,700 attendees across seventeen acres of climate-controlled pavilion, with exhibitors travelling from twenty states and eight countries. More than $500 million (around £373 million) in jewellery was on display, according to the show’s own figures.
Buccellati, Boucheron, Bulgari, Cartier, Chanel, David Webb, Graff, Harry Winston, Hermes, Piaget, Tiffany and Van Cleef and Arpels all had pieces on the floor. Rolex, Patek Philippe and Vacheron Constantin anchored the watch side, joined by Audemars Piguet, Chopard, TAG Heuer, Richard Mille and Jaeger-LeCoultre, eight watch houses in total. The New York Times has put the pavilion’s footprint at roughly forty tennis courts.
Pieces priced between ten and fifty thousand dollars (roughly £7,460 to £37,300) sold at the highest rate in 2025. Multimillion-dollar pieces drew crowds and photographs at a lower sale rate. Friedman has pointed to that gap as the reason behind this year’s pricing. “We came to the essence of practicality,” he told reporters, adding that the show is built around pieces buyers will actually take home rather than simply photograph.
Most offerings this year will sit between two thousand and twenty-five thousand dollars (about £1,490 to £18,650). The full range stretches from five hundred dollars up to roughly one hundred thousand (around £373 to £74,600).
The Italian Designer Pavilion gathers European jewellery houses, manufacturers and emerging designers in one section, the first time the show has given Italian-based designers a dedicated space of their own. Several of the participating jewellers are exhibiting in the United States for the first time. Diaz said the Italian Designer Pavilion reflects the show’s focus on encouraging visitors to discover and purchase jewellery directly from designers during the event.
The Studio Artists Galleria sits nearby, an invitation-only section built around hand-curated artisans working outside conventional retail channels. Both sections are new additions to the 2026 floor plan, alongside the returning main hall of jewellery and watch exhibitors.
The Hamptons show differs from trade-only fairs held in cities such as Las Vegas. There is no wholesale layer between buyer and maker on this floor. Attendees meet the goldsmith or estate dealer directly, and jewellery and watch exhibits sit together rather than in separate trade sections. Diaz calls it a marketplace for discovery.
Georgios Collections showed 18k gold Athena coin earrings last year priced at $8,710 (about £6,497). The price sits inside the band organisers now want to see more of across the floor in 2026.
The jewellery show grew out of the Hamptons Fine Art Fair, which marks its twentieth season this year and runs July 9 to 12, two weeks ahead of the jewellery show. The overlap lands alongside the country’s semiquincentennial celebrations, marking 250 years since the country’s founding in 1776. More than ten thousand people are expected at the art fair across its four days, a separate audience from the jewellery show’s own. Friedman has linked the two events directly, and this year’s art fair ticket holders are invited to attend the jewellery show as well.
Diaz has designed gemstone jewellery under her own label, The Hilary Joy Couture, for more than three decades. European architecture and Parisian gardens run through her work. She has discussed jewellery design on television in more than one country, and she expects a turnout of over 4,000 attendees this year, up from 3,700 in 2025.
Exhibitors this year travel from Italy, Greece, Belgium, France, Poland, Japan and across the United States, with African jewellers rounding out the roster. Cartier and Van Cleef and Arpels are among the names returning to the floor. Forbes described the 2025 edition as rivalling “some of the world’s biggest gem and jewelry shows.”
Tickets and the full exhibitor list are available now on the Hamptons Jewelry Show’s website ahead of the July 23 opening.
