Return of international brands and high retailer attendance make for a celebratory reunion.
(PRESS RELEASE) LAS VEGAS, NV — Joy and excitement resonated throughout the Wynn Las Vegas as prominent retailers, influential media and exceptional designers and brands gathered for the 2022 event. An enthusiasm to reunite in person was apparent and the shared appreciation for excellence in design and craftsmanship established a celebratory reunion among this tight-knit community.
“It feels fantastic to be back at the Wynn Las Vegas,” enthused Gannon Brousseau, COUTURE director and EVP, Emerald. “Our new event space is a phenomenal backdrop for the exceptional collections of our talented designers and brands and having the opportunity to enjoy one another’s company in person is invaluable.”
Mimicking that sentiment was Yael Reinhold from Reinhold Jewelers in Puerto Rico, “The show has such positive energy! Everyone is so happy to be back and really eager to buy! I am seeing so much incredible jewelry; I’m delighted to be here.”
“COUTURE is the highlight of our year,” said Peggy Buckhan of Steve Quick Jeweler in Chicago. “I love seeing all of the designers we carry and getting a first look at their most recent collections. It’s also so fun discovering new talent. And as always, COUTURE is fabulous, everything is amazing.”
The salons, ballrooms and villas saw steady traffic throughout the day and the exhibiting designers and brands were excited that the retailers they were meeting with were motivated to place orders. “It’s been absolutely phenomenal,” explained Wendy Adeler Hall of Jorge Adeler. “We’re seeing so many great stores and there’s a lot of intentional buying. There’s so much great energy and people are serious about restocking and getting back to business.”
“We have been busy all day, it’s been so amazing,” said Meredith Young, an exhibitor in the event’s Design Atelier. “I’m so excited for the rest of the show!”

Bil Holehan, the manager of Julianna’s Fine Jewelry in Corte Madera, Calif., decided to go on to the next chapter of his life when the store’s owner and namesake told him she was set to retire. Before they left, Holehan says they decided to liquidate some of the store’s aging inventory. They chose Wilkerson for the sale. Why? “Friends had done their sales with Wilkerson and they were very satisfied,” says Holehan. He’d enthusiastically recommend Wilkerson to anyone looking to stage a liquidation or going-out-of-business sale. “There were no surprises,” he says. “They were very professional in their assessment of our store, what we could expect from the sale and they were very detailed in their projections. They were pretty much on the money.”
