The 23rd Annual Palm Beach Jewelry, Art & Antique Show returned to the Palm Beach County Convention Center, presenting six days of art, antiques and jewellery over Presidents’ Day weekend and reinforcing the show’s reputation as “the most luxurious and sophisticated showcase of its kind in the United States.” Exhibitors ranged from fine-jewelry dealers to galleries offering Art Nouveau and Symbolist works, with highlights including an Alphonse Mucha pastel study and Paul G. Oxborough’s “Palace Bar.”

Opening-night previews took place on Feb. 12 with a public window scheduled from 2:00 pm to 9:00 pm and staggered ticketed entries for VIP preview at 5:00 pm and Collectors preview at 7:00 pm. The general show ran Feb. 13–17 with daily hours of 11:00 am to 6:00 pm. The convention center’s address at 650 Okeechobee Boulevard placed the fair at the center of West Palm Beach’s winter season programming.

Running concurrently in a convention center ballroom, the Palm Beach Fine Craft Show operated Feb. 13–15, a pairing that market participants said broadened the fair’s appeal. Diament said that together, the events “present a remarkable opportunity for collectors, interior designers and those who are simply looking for noteworthy pieces for their homes,” a practical-minded counterpoint to the show’s elevated branding.

Among jewelry exhibitors, Yafa Signed Jewels confirmed it would bring a selection of bangles, necklaces, earrings and rings and noted the retailer’s local footprint at 234 Worth Ave. Tyler Moradof of Yafa Signed Jewels said, “It’s part of the reason why we had the confidence to open up our retail space,” referring to the store’s November 2020 opening on Worth Avenue after many years of exhibiting at the Palm Beach Show.

Galerie Fledermaus offered one of the show’s art-world moments: the pastel-on-paper study for Mucha’s “Rubies,” part of the artist’s larger Precious Stones series, appeared alongside other Art Nouveau, Symbolist and Viennese Secession works. Suqi described the Mucha study this way: “The rhythmic line, jewel-toned accents and the dominance of red, long associated with passion and love, give the figure a vivid emotional and sensual presence.” Suqi also said Galerie Fledermaus would include works by living artists, noting support for contemporary makers as his personal mission.

Cavalier Galleries presented “Palace Bar” by Paul G. Oxborough, a single-title placement that sat within the broader mix of antiques and decorative arts on display. The show’s programming and dealer roster intentionally juxtaposed periods and movements, reinforcing the organizer’s claim that the exhibition spans every genre of collecting.

The Palm Beach Show Group produced the event and continues to position itself as a leading full-service show production company specializing in world-class fine art, antique and jewelry shows. The official event site promoted ticket purchasing in advance, ticket activation and a virtual tour, and the show’s social media outreach included a Jan. 28 post announcing the return and linking to regional coverage; that post recorded 11 reactions and 1 share. With its return on Feb. 12–17, the Palm Beach Show reaffirmed its role as a centerpiece of West Palm Beach’s winter collecting season and as a marketplace where jewelry, art and design converge under one roof.
