There are also new lab-grown diamond offerings in fashion rings, family jewelry, and neckwear, “to support growing customer demand,” Stuller said.

“Stuller’s mission has always been to support jewelers with resources that keep them ahead of market trends,” said Taylor Burgess, the company’s chief merchandising, marketing, and sales officer, in a statement. “Each year we listen to what jewelers need, and this edition brings those insights to the forefront with thoughtful updates that make it easier to compare options and stay aligned with where the industry is heading.”

CBG Announces Programming for 2026 Las Vegas Show

Continental Buying Group (CBG) will hold two days of shopping, education, and industry networking at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas next month. About 95 North American retail firms are expected to attend CBG’s May 26–27 Las Vegas show, along with designers, manufacturers, and service providers.

Educational programming will include a presentation by De Beers’ Elizabeth West on natural diamonds, from source to showcase, and retail insights and market intelligence from Synchrony Financial and Zillion. In addition, Jennifer Shaheen of Technology Therapy Group will return to continue her highly regarded AI education series for CBG members, providing attendees with practical, actionable knowledge of how artificial intelligence is reshaping retail operations, customer engagement, and the jewelry marketplace.

CBG will bring one of the most celebrated features from its winter Miami show to Las Vegas: the Curated Designer Project. This showcase of artisan and designer jewelry brands will include Chris Ploof, Folium, and GemologyGeek, a new brand founded by gemologist Erica Silverglide.

An addition to this year’s Las Vegas show is the Rising Stars pavilion, which hosts fashion and silver manufacturers that offer retailers quick turnaround and strong margins.

Among the new exhibitors at CBG Las Vegas 2026 are Venus Jewel, supplier of round and fancy diamonds, and Timepiece Grading Specialists (TGS), an independent authentication company for pre-owned watches, founded by actor and collector Fred Savage.
