If you’re still in Las Vegas, close out your JCK and Luxury show experience with two signature Sunday-night events. If you’ve already departed Sin City, or sat out this year’s festivities altogether, we’re highlighting a recent podcast and an ongoing museum exhibition.
LISTEN
The Jewelry District Podcast, Episode 122 (ongoing)
On the latest episode of The Jewelry District, JCK editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky and news director Rob Bates react to Watches of Switzerland’s recent acquisition of Roberto Coin Inc. Then, as the hosts discuss the slow growth of brands in the jewelry space, Victoria gives the fascinating backstory on Shinola’s Gomelsky watch as an illustration of the challenges of launching a new brand.
ATTEND

Out of the Jewelry Box Exhibition at MAD in New York City (ongoing)
Expanding the voices represented in the Museum of Arts and Design’s permanent collection, “Out of the Jewelry Box” considers the importance of queer perspectives in the world of studio and contemporary art jewelry. On view are 56 newly acquired works from the Porter Price Collection by queer artists and their allies, and 22 pieces by queer artists already represented in MAD’s permanent collection. The jewelry dates from the 1950s to the present, and is accompanied by stories from the artists and collectors about the role of jewelry in the construction of queer histories and identities.
