Ones to Watch: Couture Jewelry Show 2019

“We focus on quality over quantity,“ said Gannon Brousseau, senior vice president of Emerald Expositions and couture director when discussing the show’s growth over the years. Attendance wise, the executive said, the show draws around 4,000, and that the only change he sees is some retailers may send a few less people than in years past. “The magic is in the curation of it,” he explained of the show. “We are really careful on how big we get. We try and stay the same in terms of volume year after year. We grow maybe five exhibitors a year.” Adding, “We work diligently to ensure that we partner with designers and brands with an unprecedented level of talent and prestige, as well as retailers who represent only the best of the best, and our attending media are among the most knowledgeable and engaged in this industry.” While the show’s overall growth may be controlled, it does add a healthy number of new brands to the mix each year. This year sees the show add 60 new brands into the fold, which includes several timepiece names, as well as a handful of showrooms that have increased the number of brands represented at the show.
