LAS VEGAS – U.S. Antique Shows, a producer of indoor antique shows, recently announced its latest partnership with Polygon. Polygon is an online community and trading platform for jewelry professionals where members trade diamonds, jewelry, colored stones, watches, estate pieces and more.

“We’re excited to continue our partnership with Polygon,” says Dan Darby, Emerald Expositions vice president and U.S. Antique Shows general manager. “Many of our dealers are already members of their online community, therefore we understand the value they provide and we believe it’s important to introduce this exceptional resource to new dealers.”

Polygon will sponsor the following U.S. Antique Shows in 2016-17: Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show; New York Antique Jewelry & Watch Show; LUEUR; and the 2017 Original Miami Antique Show. In addition, Polygon’s partnership includes booths at the upcoming Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show, June 2-5, as well as LUEUR in October of 2016 and The Original Miami Antique Show in February of 2017.

At the Las Vegas show, Polygon will also host the Second Annual Trading Pavilion on June 1 from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. This one-day event is open to all vetted Polygon members, U.S. Antique Shows’ exhibitors, qualified members of the International Watch & Jewelry Guild (IWJG), World Wide Traders (WWT) and West Coast Diamond Club. The trading pavilion will allow members to bring merchandise to sell or come only to buy. Early registration, open until May 13, is $75 per person plus $25 for each additional person from the same company. To register, contact Polygon directly at 1-800-221-4435 or info@polygon.com.

“We’re so happy to be working with and exhibiting at the Las Vegas Antique Jewelry & Watch Show again this year,” says Polygon Sales and Marketing Director Lindsay Watkin. “The team is top-notch, and the show is a really great fit for us given that our members are dealing in all types of goods including antique and estate, fine watches, loose diamonds and gemstones, finished jewelry and more. Our members also love the fact that they benefit from free access to the show floor, and the interest and attendance is growing year-after-year.”

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
