Pragnell, the sixth-generation British jeweler, presented an exhibition titled "Rare Gemstones & New Creations" at Findlay Galleries, 165 Worth Ave., Palm Beach, from February 21–28, 2026. The weeklong show combined historic stones, newly created pieces handcrafted in Britain and selected vintage jewels, and tied its fundraising to The King's Foundation, the charity established in 1990 by King Charles III to support craftsmanship, historic preservation and sustainable practices.

Findlay Galleries, founded in 1870, framed the collaboration as rooted in shared values. "This year's collaboration with Pragnell reflects a shared dedication to heritage, craftsmanship and philanthropy," the gallery said. "The presentation - arranged for gallery patrons and invited guests - will offer a rare opportunity to view a curated selection of exceptional jewels: historic gemstones of notable provenance, newly created pieces handcrafted in Britain and carefully selected vintage designs spanning important periods in jewelry history."

Pragnell’s own promotional material emphasized family-run workshops and new product launches. "Returning to Palm Beach in 2026, Pragnell are proud to present an Exhibition of 'Rare Gemstones & New Creations'," the company wrote on its site, noting its in-house workshops and gem experts. Pragnell announced a pink diamond edition of its Origins Collection, saying, "We are delighted to present a new pink diamond edition of our Origins Collection. Launching at our exhibition in Palm Beach, this exceptional collection showcases the rarity and natural beauty of these remarkable pink gemstones." The company also highlighted "limited edition pieces" and that contemporary collections were "Designed in house by a Pragnell family member in collaboration with our British workshops, our contemporary collections all offer something unique and stylish."

Public materials present differing language about the charity commitment. Palm Beach Daily News and Yahoo quoted the gallery saying, "All proceeds associated with the jewelry showcase will go to the foundation, the gallery said." Pragnell’s website used narrower phrasing, stating that "a portion of the exhibition proceeds will be pledged to The King's Foundation." National Today reported Findlay Galleries as saying, "We are honored to host this exceptional exhibition by Pragnell and to support the important work of The King's Foundation." The divergence between "all proceeds" and "a portion" is reflected in the available press language.

Access to viewings was organized for gallery patrons and invited guests, with viewing appointments and events to be announced and a contact listed for more information at 561-655-2090. Past programming links this show to Findlay’s recent season in which the gallery hosted an exhibition of Charles Neal paintings created at Highgrove House to benefit the foundation.

Collectors and buyers who consider pieces from the Palm Beach presentation should note the exhibition’s promises and verify specifics: whether donations apply to gross sales or net profits, whether consignment fees, VAT or sales tax are included, and which pieces are on loan versus for sale. For appointments, press materials and clarification on donation mechanics, Findlay Galleries can be reached at 561-655-2090. The show placed Pragnell’s British craftsmanship and rare-stone focus in front of Palm Beach patrons while leaving precise financial terms of the charity pledge variably described across the exhibition’s public statements.
