It’s time for the other NYC Jewelry Week—the one where the industry fetes itself at back-to-back annual galas and various luncheons. New to the schedule: a Plumb Club conference and a virtual workshop on acquiring clients and generating revenue. For those not in New York this week, the season’s best buying show is on in Miami, and the world’s premier art fair opens in the Netherlands. See you here, there, and everywhere?!
