NYCJAOS Autumn 2025 Highlights Rare Jewels and Confirms Third Annual Show for 2026

The NYCJAOS Autumn 2025 show, held in New York, stood out for its seamless combination of antique jewelry, contemporary design pieces, and art objects, maintaining the proposal that has consolidated the event as a sector benchmark.

During the fair, organizers confirmed a significant expansion: starting in 2026, the calendar will increase from two to three annual editions. In addition to the traditional spring and autumn gatherings, there will be a new winter show between January 23 and 25, 2026. This debut winter edition will take place in New York City and will subsequently be transferred to Miami.

Historical Pieces in the Spotlight

Among the highlights in period jewelry, significant attention was drawn to a Victorian snake necklace presented by Kitty Verity. Crafted in gold, turquoises, and ruby eyes, the piece boasts an unusual length for this type of creation and displays detailed engravings on the reverse.

In the Georgian segment, the collection at Sandy Jacobs Antiques included a citrine necklace accompanied by a removable triple pendant, preserved in its original case. Also from this period, Pretty Different Shop exhibited a necklace featuring pink topazes and turquoises, whose gold work highlighted the ornamentation typical of the early 19th century.

From the Art Deco period, The Eden Collective brought a 1920s rock crystal brooch representing a primitive aircraft, reflecting the era’s fascination with aviation. Another piece from the same aesthetic movement, a diamond cocktail ring by JMP Jewels Inc., was noted for the style’s characteristic geometric format.

Contemporary Jewelry Design

Among current creators, Ides Fine Jewels presented modern snakes in textured gold, featuring green sapphires, rainbow moonstone, and a black diamond star. Unhada exhibited earrings with gold fringes and chromatic combinations that united garnets, sapphires, and tourmalines.

Another prominent name was Taste of Honey, whose pieces utilize dendritic agate and stylized ribbons, focusing on jewelry in the $800 to $900 range. Aesop Gems brought fob-style pendants with lion and lioness figures carved in silver or gold over chrysocolla and blue lace agate.

Unique Bracelets, Rings, and Brooches

At the Olivia Boutique booth, three Victorian snake bracelets combined engraved gold, blue enamel, ruby eyes, and antique diamonds. PRC NYC exposed a rigid bracelet from the late 19th century with three removable diamond flowers, allowing the gems to be used separately.

Among the rings, a Georgian exemplar from 1830 by The Spare Room stood out, featuring pink sapphires flanking an aquamarine, supported by an elaborate cannetille setting. Another model, offered by Marilyn & Co., protects a turgite mineral specimen under a rock crystal dome—an unusual resource for Victorian jewelry.

In brooches, Pretty Different Shop brought a ship crafted upon a tiger’s tooth, engraved with minute nautical details. The Vintage Jeweller presented a snake-shaped piece with pink topaz dated to 1865.

Other Collector’s Items

Among multifunctional accessories, E. Foxe Harrell exhibited a small tiara with pearls in a floral motif that can be used as a necklace and accompanies a pair of earrings. L&Z Antique + Estate Jewelry brought an Edwardian necklace with diamonds, sapphires, rubies, and a central pearl. In signets, Circa 1700 presented a 1970s gold ring with a guitar design composed of diamond pavé.

Some pieces attracted attention for the technique applied, such as the silhouette portrait pendant from Sandy Jacobs Antiques. When inverted, the object reveals a moth and shell preserved in a hair frame, creating a reliquary effect. Another technical work was the verre églomisé jewelry piece by Marilyn & Co., elaborated with reverse painting on gilded glass.

Upcoming Editions

Following the autumn edition, the event returns from April 23 to 26, 2025, for the spring show at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York. In 2026, besides the traditional dates, the new winter edition will expand the calendar to three annual gatherings, reflecting the growing demand from the public and the market for antique jewelry, authorial design, and collectible objects.
