This year vendors who participated in the
'The Original Miami Beach Antique Jewelry and Watch'
show faced a big dilemma. Due to the show’s dramatic change in schedule, it led to a 20% drop in vendor and retail attendance. Most of the business conducted was amongst dealers, Florida locals and some East Coasters escaping winter weather. Like most trade shows in recent years, traffic has been on the decline, and vendors motivated to move merchandise at a great price point did ok.
Overall show was decent, not as terrible as anticipated.

People thought that it was ok. Not terrible but not very exciting. Most felt that the show date was too close to New Years Day. Next year it’ll be on the 15th. Signed jewelry was selling as well as fancy colored diamonds. Vintage watches were a hot category.

About the same as last year! Exceeded expectations!
