Jewelry lovers and collectors will have plenty to discover when The Jeweled Collective returns to New York City from June 25–28, 2026. Hosted by KIL Promotions, producers of the popular biannual NYC Jewelry, Antique & Object Show, the four-day event will take over the elegant Alessandro Berni Gallery in Chelsea, bringing together approximately 20 carefully selected dealers and designers specializing in antique, vintage, contemporary fine jewelry, and luxury watches.

The intimate pop-up promises a more personalized shopping experience than larger trade events, allowing visitors to browse exceptional pieces while learning about their history and provenance. According to KIL Promotions founder Konstantinos I. Leoussis, authenticated vintage jewelry and watches continue to attract collectors seeking one-of-a-kind treasures while embracing the principles of a circular economy. Set amid the gallery’s contemporary art surroundings, the event creates a unique intersection between fine art and wearable luxury.

Want to break free from the limits of a single medium?

Mixed media is transforming artistic creation and sales. Artists now layer paint, paper, fabric, photos, digital elements, and found objects to create pieces that simply could not be made using just one medium. The timing couldn’t be better.

Here’s why:

With the art market on the rise, collectors are craving textured, layered and personal work more than ever. Mixed media is at the epicenter of that movement – and it’s becoming the new standard for serious artists.

Millions of people buy into every new fad diet, but rarely do they see significant results. Eventually, the same old patterns emerge again. Restrictions create a rigid mental framework that makes it almost impossible to apply them to the complexities of everyday life, where we commit to social calendars, family obligations, and biological variability. Long-term success stems from learning about the “math” of your plate, rather than eliminating whole categories of foods.
