Hamptons summer weekenders take note: The inaugural Hamptons Jewelry Show will be at Southampton Fairgrounds July 24-27 with an international curation of more than 80 estate jewelry dealers and contemporary designers to rival some of the world’s biggest gem and jewelry shows. From the team behind Hamptons Fine Art Fair, the show is expected to attract a similarly well-heeled clientele ready to invest in wearable art, with pieces available from between $200 and $3.5 million.
The show is scheduled at the peak of the Hamptons summer season, when well-off, taste-conscious residents flock to second homes for vacations and weekend parties. “Our 4,000 hard-to-reach, affluent, jewelry-loving guests are the prime target audience for many luxury brands,” says Rick Friedman, Executive Director and Founder of the show, explaining how the area’s only international direct-to-public fine jewelry fair has already attracted big-name sponsors like Mahnaz Collection, Lucid automobiles and Bulldog Security. Organizers are expecting many of the 20,000 annual Hamptons Fine Art Fair guests to attend, who they describe as “curious, relaxed acquisition-oriented decision-makers”, from both the local area and nearby New York City.

Friedman and his team also produce Hamptons Fine Art Fair at the same venue, known for its relaxed visitor experience including upscale outdoor dining, wine bars and climate controled tents. “The construction of 70,000 square-foot pavilion complex cost $1.5 million for the Hamptons Fine Art Fair, then we tear it down straight afterwards” says Friedman, “so we thought it would be prudent to keep it up for a second show. A natural extension of showing artist paintings, is wearable art. These designers and goldsmiths are artisans, and sculptors working in a different medium: gold, diamonds and gems.”
The show is curated by Hamptons local Hilary Joy Diaz, who cites the “understanding of our sensibilities, styles and trends” which influenced a selection designed “to present a boho chic, casual elegance, and fairly priced practical jewelry solutions for the elegant Hamptons lifestyle.” Diaz has been a jewelry designer for over 40 years and has owned a jewelry factory in New York City for the past 20, experience that she brought to bear for the show. “I understand the level of workmanship, materials, intricacy, and complexity in making and designing bespoke jewelry,” she explains, adding that she was careful not to include brands or jewels that are too similar, “so that everyone of our 80 exhibitors is uniquely special, creating a memorable and exhilarating shopping experience for our many guests, who proudly leave with wearable art.”
