Brands to check-out now

The Couture jewelry trade show is the definitive annual event for upscale retailers, designers, and manufacturers of fine jewelry and timepieces and this year we had the privilege of attending the show. Held at the stunning Wynn Las Vegas, Couture attracts luxury retailers from around the globe and over 90% of the event’s exhibitors choose to exhibit exclusively at Couture giving us a unique opportunity to see brands we would otherwise never be aware of. We had the chance to chat with reps for some of the most well-known brands (David Yurman!), as well as some folks behind some of the most cutting-edge and sophisticated rising stars. After five days of roaming and chatting, we’ve rounded up the top 10 jewelry finds from the 2012 Couture show. In the market for jewelry? Here are 10 brands to check out now.
