Though I’ve been doing plenty of preparation over the last couple of months for Jewelry Week in Las Vegas, its imminent arrival, I must admit, has snuck up on me.
While consulting my calendar the other day, I was stunned to see I am just two weeks away from taking off for Vegas, in what can only be explained as some kind of time warp—the sights, sounds, smells (it’s Vegas, after all), and sparkles of last year’s Jewelry Week seem as fresh in my mind as if they happened mere weeks ago.
Nevertheless, the reality that the JCK show is around the corner has me all kinds of excited, for the gems—in both jewelry and human form—that await. Here, I share some of the pieces that I’m imagining getting up close and personal with on the show floor at JCK.
This is only a small preview of what’s to come in Vegas, but the sight of these diamonds opals, and everything in yellow (both metal and gemstone) has me gearing up for another memorable JCK show. I hope you are too!
