Both Couture 2020 and the Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show have been canceled due to the COVID-19 crisis.

Couture had been scheduled for June 1-5 at the Wynn Las Vegas.

Couture organizers stated, in part:

We are focused on continuing to serve this community, creating ways to connect and working closely with each of our partners, to provide the necessary support and information to enhance your businesses throughout the year. We will continue to utilize our various outlets to promote the beauty and artistry that you all represent.

The 2020 Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show event had been scheduled for June 1-5 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Organizers have provided a cancellation FAQ here.

The New York Antique Jewelry & Watch Show is still scheduled for July 24-26 at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City.

Coronavirus concerns have led to the cancellation or postponement of many other jewelry industry events, including JCK Las Vegas and Luxury.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
