I worked the show Tuesday afternoon, meeting a lot of new and talented jewelry designers. Most of the exhibitors are based in Israel and make all of their jewelry in Israel. However, the majority of the 160 exhibitors don’t exhibit in American shows, nor do they show in Basel. So if you want to see them—other than on this web site and in future issues of JCK magazine—you must journey to Israel for Jovella (or, call the designer of your choice and make other arrangements to meet). Following are the exhibitors with the most interesting, unique and relevant lines of jewelry for American store owners. Enjoy.
