I saw so many wonderful things at Spring NYCJAOS 2026 that I couldn’t fit them all in one post…so here’s the part two I promised you!
We already talked about Spring NYCJAOS 2026 in Part One of this recap (summary: it was awesome! I saw so many wonderful things and people!) so we’re just going to dive right into the jewelry goodness for Part Two.
Without further ado, her are even more treasures from Spring NYCJAOS 2026.
Starting off big with THIS NECKLACE. Diamonds! Flowers! Perfection!
I spotted this beauty twinkling in Keyamour’s case on my initial walk into Spring NYCJAOS 2026 but her booth was too crowded at that moment for me to stop by. It took me another couple of days to get my hands on this exquisite treasure, but I was determined to touch it.
And touch it I did!!! Sigh. It could only be more spectacular if it had come with a tiara frame for converting it into a tiara. If it were mine, I would have a tiara frame made.
I loved getting to see Ariis Jewelry again at Spring NYCJAOS 202! We’ve looked at their designs in the past and their specialty is what I like to call “non-basic diamond basics.”
The pieces I’m wearing here are a perfect example of what I mean by that: the diamond drop earrings with their interesting drop surmounts, the necklace with its fantastic zig-zag chain, and the bypass pinky ring are all so cool but would also go with literally everything.
These are all great pieces, but I especially love that pear diamond necklace…it looks great on me, if I do say so myself.
This ring appears to be a lovely but typical Victorian era turquoise ring…but it’s actually three rings in one!
When you turn the tiny wheel at the top or bottom, the central panel rotates to give the wearer three design options: a plan gold panel, a panel with the word “SOUVENIR” in black enamel, or a panel of pearls.
So so so so cool. I saw this treasure at Maryanntiques.
These delightful octopus stud earrings are another piece by Delphine Leymarie. They’re just so adorable, what can I say?
She also has these little octopus-topped pearl pendants I really enjoyed, too. I didn’t know I loved octopus jewelry, but apparently I do.
So there’s always antique, vintage, and new jewelry at this show, but Spring NYCJAOS 2026 also had a small selection of truly ancient jewelry, including these earrings from E Foxe Harrell.
Are you ready for it? These earrings are from 300 BC. The tops are new, but the lower element is a genuine ancient relic that you can wear on your ears.
I think the expression on my face adequately captures how extraordinarily cool I thought this was.
This antique yellow sapphire and diamond ring from Christoffel Jewelry was probably the piece from Spring NYCJAOS 2026 that I was the most tempted to buy for my personal collection.
I love its elongated shape, its elegant use of negative space and – most of all – that sunshine yellow sapphire.
THIS BRACELET. It’s so wildly, spectacularly extraordinary that I’m not sure I have anything coherent to say about it.
This world-class treasure is and antique gold bracelet by the famous Marcus & Co., featuring a jaw-dropping opal surrounded by vibrant green garnets and blue sapphires.
A huge thank you to Lauren DeYoung for letting me try this on. Let’s all note the fact that it fits me perfectly, so if any of you want to buy it for me, it won’t require any adjustment.
These pretty little rose cut diamond pendant necklaces are by brand I met for the first time at Spring NYCJAOS 2026 called Fine Finery Store.
Aren’t they lovely? I especially enjoy the emerald and diamond accents on the first one and the beautiful hint of negative space around the diamond on the second one.
Here’s something a little bit spooky but still very cool: a silver spiderweb set from Feather + Foxglove.
This eerie beauty consists of a matching necklace and bracelet that feature dainty silver spiders in delicate webs. Morticia Addams would approve.
We look at at Gemology Geek’s Ignite collection rings in Part One of my Spring NYCJAOS 2026 recap, but I hadn’t shown you the earrings yet. Here they are: a gorgeously geometric, wonderfully versatile set of gemstone studs.
You can wear one on each ear for a striking asymmetrical set, or stack two together on the same lobe for an ear climber effect. Very thoughtfully made.
This vintage gold “KEEP OUT” gate charm from Antique Jewelry Expo represents a rare chance for you to own the exact same piece of vintage jewelry as me.
I have one of these little beauties (see mine here) and I love wearing it when I’m feeling feisty and don’t want the world to bother me.
Tiara alert!!!
I loved the color in this citrine beauty from Blu Dog World. It’s so unusual to see colored stones in a tiara.
I mentioned in Part One that The Antique Parlour was one of the exhibitors I was really excited to meet for the first time at Spring NYCJAOS 2026 and that their rings blew me away…and I can’t give you a better example of why than these two world class beauties.
They’re both Art Deco, but the emerald and trillion cut diamond ring on the left is a signed Cartier piece, while the slightly later sapphire and baguette diamond ring on the right is unsigned. They’re both jaw-droppingly incredible.
Look at this big beautiful bracelet!
This Victorian era emerald cuff from Talia Jade Jewelry isn’t just beautiful (although it’s definitely gorgeous), it’s also very clever: the mechanism on the back can be locked at several different settings, allowing the piece to be worn comfortably on differently sized wrists.
“Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly,” is what I think when I look at this incredible antique necklace from Marilyn & Co.
There’s something kind of sensual about it, don’t you think? And a little bit spooky, although both the spider and and the fly are much too beautifully encrusted with gemstones to be truly alarming. A very, very cool piece.
This Dana Bronfman ring features the rare Sorona Sunrise gemstone, a blend of red cuprite, black tenorite, and blue-green chrysocolla that formed naturally under the Earth’s surface in Sorona, Mexico. Yes, that’s a real stone that simply formed in the earth looking like a painting of a sunrise.
Dana Bronfman is passionate about responsible and sustainable sourcing and really puts in the work to make her jewelry according to her principles, so this remarkable gem is a fair-trade stone set in Fairmined gold.
I have a well-documented love for Art Deco camphor glass jewelry and these two necklaces from Christoffel Jewelry are particularly lovely examples.
Finding a camphor glass piece with that kind of figural embellishment is unusual, and finding a complete camphor necklace on its original chain (left) is even more unusual.
(I keep a ShopMy list of available camphor glass jewelry here, if you’re now desperate to add one to your own collection!)
I have a problem with these pique earrings from Spare Room Antiques and it’s that I think I might regret not buying them. I almost didn’t show them to you because I still want them, but I’m trying to be a financially responsible adult and leave some pretties for the rest of you.
Pique is gold-inlaid tortoise shell, which is what creates that lovely translucent brown background for the gold designs. The standout detail here, of course, is those beautiful bountiful bows!! I’ve never seen another pair of pique earrings with that kind of motif.
This piece was so lovely and delicate, the most gentle blushing pink! It’s a necklace and earrings made from carved seashell. These two weren’t necessarily intended to be a set, but they do work very well together.
Spotted at Spare Room Antiques during Spring NYCJAOS 2026.
Pow!! I thought it might be time for a high-powered Art Deco diamond moment, and it’s hard to nail that more perfectly than with this extraordinary diamond bracelet from Maryanntiques.
My favorite part of this piece – besides its overall gloriousness – is the precise cutouts of negative space around the bezel-set octagonal diamonds that march along the middle of the bracelet leading to the center stone. So glamorous!
I haven’t featured many engagement rings in my Spring NYCJAOS 2026 recap, mostly because I never managed to fight through the crowd around Jewels by Grace’s booth, but I did have the chance to try on this absolute stunner from Ashley Zhang.
The center stone looks like gentle, buttery sunshine and the side view of the setting could not be prettier. What’s not to love?
I’ve been in an Art Nouveau mood since my trip to Paris and this extraordinary piece from Wilson Estate Jewelry had my jaw on the floor.
The contrast between the delicate enamel and the wild, dynamic movement of the jagged diamond-encrusted swoops above it is just so mesmerizing, don’t you think? And of course the row of huge, chunky old cut diamonds across the bottom isn’t bad either.
This antique carved moonstone intaglio ring is from Alpha + Omega Jewelry. Isn’t it dreamy? I love how the blue flash is so intense but only appears at certain angles, like an iridescent secret held between the ring and its wearer.
The carving in the moonstone and the pretty enamel flowers on the sides are also not to be missed.
I already showed you a video of this remarkable piece on Instagram, but I couldn’t resist showing it here too.
This enamel and turquoise dragonfly is an Art Nouveau era cloak pin – that’s why it’s so large, it was functional as well as decorative and needed to be large enough to secure a cloak.
Aaaand here’s a slideshow with just a few more photos, because I couldn’t fit everything even with a two-part recap. Visit Part One here, if you missed it!
