It’s incredible to think that the 2024 JCK Show in Las Vegas is merely a month away—we’re still buzzing with the memories (and the jewels) from 2023. But ready or not, the doors will soon open to welcome guests to the show floor, where sparkle and smiles are aplenty, and jewelry reigns supreme.
Anticipation is often one of the best parts of any exciting event-to-be, so that’s how we’re biding the time—with sneak previews of what promises to dazzle showgoers, in all shapes, sizes, and styles.
To wet your whistle, we’ve gathered three new collections set to make their mark on the 2024 JCK Show, each heavily influenced by their respective heritage, and with plenty of covetable style to boot.
Kouzoupis’ Royal Heritage Collection
Kouzoupis’ new Royal Heritage collection draws on design elements of Byzantine jewelry, incorporating modern elements to create pieces that are as wearable as they are timeless.
“Our company has more than 75 years of experience and tradition when it comes to Byzantine styled jewelry,” says Antonis Kouzoupis. “Gathering all our knowledge and our craftsmen’s skills, we have created a new style of jewelry. By combining traditional elements of the Byzantine style together with modern geometry we have designed Royal Heritage, a collection which encompasses jewelry both modern and classic, both colorful and with diamonds, bonding the traditional Byzantine beauty with modern lines and shapes.”
