In yet another definitive statement that Couture is firmly established for the jewelry retail community as the “go-to” destination for design, show organizers report that early registration is tracking almost 30 percent ahead from the same time last year.

Couture organizers attribute the increase in retailer registration to the return of all Couture’s major brands, the addition of multiple prestigious and international designers and Couture’s commitment to delivering a best-in-class event.
“Couture retailers expect to see designers and manufacturers that not only lead the way in design, but are also powerful and vital business partners,” said Lee Arevian, director of business development for Couture. “The new brands that we added to the Couture roster all fit that description. Our increase in registration points to more retailers looking at Couture for these relationships.”
“We are very excited to be part of Couture 2011,” says Erik Runyan of Erik Runyan Jewelers. “We’re looking forward to broadening our horizons and seeing what Couture has to offer, and we are excited to meet new vendors and develop long-standing relationships with quality people.”

Couture is the definitive annual event for upscale retailers, designers, and manufacturers of fine jewelry and timepieces. Set in the magnificent Wynn Las Vegas, Couture attracts luxury retailers from around the globe who are shopping for the most exquisite and unique designs. Over 90 percent of the event’s exhibitors choose to exhibit exclusively at Couture, ensuring it remains the destination for high-end design during Las Vegas Market Week. Moving into its 16th year, Couture continues to be the benchmark for the industry standard for excellence as it features designs from top international brands as well as the industry’s rising stars. The Couture brand is part of the Nielsen Expositions’ Jewelry Group.
