The NYC Jewelry & Watch Show brings a focused wholesale-oriented jewelry and timepiece event to Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood each October. Running October 22-25 at the Metropolitan Pavilion on West 18th Street, the show features over 150 exhibitors offering fine jewelry, estate pieces, vintage and antique jewelry, watches, loose gemstones, and diamonds. The show bridges the gap between strictly trade-only events and fully public shows, making it accessible to qualified wholesale buyers while maintaining a professional buying atmosphere.
For wholesale buyers, NYCJAWS stands out for its emphasis on estate and vintage jewelry alongside contemporary fine pieces. The watch category is particularly strong, with dealers offering both modern luxury timepieces and vintage collectibles. Loose diamond and colored gemstone dealers round out the offering, providing sourcing opportunities for buyers who need both finished goods and unmounted stones. The Metropolitan Pavilion’s intimate scale compared to the Javits Center creates a more personal buying environment where dealers have time for detailed consultations and negotiation.
The October timing positions NYCJAWS as an ideal pre-holiday sourcing event for retailers and wholesale buyers building inventory for the year-end selling season. The Chelsea location is well-served by public transit and surrounded by dining and hotel options. At $15 per day admission, the show remains accessible while the wholesale pricing structure rewards trade buyers who bring their credentials and purchase in volume.
