About this event
MELEE THE SHOW — New York
MELEE THE SHOW is a curated fine jewelry event designed to bring designers and buyers together in a focused, relationship-first environment. The show was founded in 2017 by two jewelry designers and friends, Lauren Wolf and Rebecca Overmann, with the goal of creating a tradeshow experience that matches the level of detail and attention found in the pieces themselves.
The New York edition runs August 2–4, 2026 at THE LIGHTHOUSE, Chelsea Pier 61, New York, NY (USA).
Event purpose
Fine jewelry has long needed a tradeshow space built for meaningful discovery—where buyers can meet designers, view collections up close, and form direct sourcing relationships. MELEE THE SHOW was created specifically for that need: to connect designers and buyers in an atmosphere as refined and beautiful as the jewelry on display.
What makes the show distinctive
- Buyer–designer connection at the center: the event is structured around curated meetings rather than broad, mass-market foot traffic.
- Fine jewelry focus: the show is positioned for audiences specifically interested in elevated jewelry brands and emerging labels.
- Attention-matched environment: the experience is designed to give both sides time and visibility to evaluate, engage, and connect.
- Established + rising talent: the show highlights both “rising stars” and more established names within fine jewelry.
