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.”

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
