I saw so many wonderful things at Spring NYCJAOS 2026 that I couldn’t fit them all in one post…so here’s the part two I promised you!
Even more treasures from Spring NYCJAOS 2026.
We already talked about Spring NYCJAOS 2026 in Part One of this recap (summary: it was awesome! I saw so many wonderful things and people!) so we’re just going to dive right into the jewelry goodness for Part Two.
Without further ado, her are even more treasures from Spring NYCJAOS 2026.
Starting off big with THIS NECKLACE. Diamonds! Flowers! Perfection!
I spotted this beauty twinkling in Keyamour’s case on my initial walk into Spring NYCJAOS 2026 but her booth was too crowded at that moment for me to stop by. It took me another couple of days to get my hands on this exquisite treasure, but I was determined to touch it.
And touch it I did!!! Sigh. It could only be more spectacular if it had come with a tiara frame for converting it into a tiara. If it were mine, I would have a tiara frame made.
I loved getting to see Ariis Jewelry again at Spring NYCJAOS 202! We’ve looked at their designs in the past and their specialty is what I like to call “non-basic diamond basics.”
The pieces I’m wearing here are a perfect example of what I mean by that: the diamond drop earrings with their interesting drop surmounts, the necklace with its fantastic zig-zag chain, and the bypass pinky ring are all so cool but would also go with literally everything.
These are all great pieces, but I especially love that pear diamond necklace…it looks great on me, if I do say so myself.
This ring appears to be a lovely but typical Victorian era turquoise ring…but it’s actually three rings in one!
When you turn the tiny wheel at the top or bottom, the central panel rotates to give the wearer three design options: a plan gold panel, a panel with the word “SOUVENIR” in black enamel, or a panel of pearls.
So so so so cool. I saw this treasure at Maryanntiques.
These delightful octopus stud earrings are another piece by Delphine Leymarie. They’re just so adorable, what can I say?
She also has these little octopus-topped pearl pendants I really enjoyed, too. I didn’t know I loved octopus jewelry, but apparently I do.
So there’s always antique, vintage, and new jewelry at this show, but Spring NYCJAOS 2026 also had a small selection of truly ancient jewelry, including these earrings from E Foxe Harrell.
Are you ready for it? These earrings are from 300 BC. The tops are new, but the lower element is a genuine ancient relic that you can wear on your ears.
I think the expression on my face adequately captures how extraordinarily cool I thought this was.
This antique yellow sapphire and diamond ring from Christoffel Jewelry was probably the piece from Spring NYCJAOS 2026 that I was the most tempted to buy for my personal collection.
I love its elongated shape, its elegant use of negative space and – most of all – that sunshine yellow sapphire.
THIS BRACELET. It’s so wildly, spectacularly extraordinary that I’m not sure I have anything coherent to say about it.
This world-class treasure is and antique gold bracelet by the famous Marcus & Co., featuring a jaw-dropping opal surrounded by vibrant green garnets and blue sapphires.
A huge thank you to Lauren DeYoung for letting me try this on. Let’s all note the fact that it fits me perfectly, so if any of you want to buy it for me, it won’t require any adjustment.
