THE YEARLY JEWELERS of America Fine Jewelry Preview consistently brings emerging designers and established brands together in a presentation for editors and bloggers to discover trends, talent and new items. This year was no exception. The 2019 event was sponsored by The Cultured Pearl Association of America and The Silver Promotion Service who also featured pieces from their members.
