Couture 2011 plugs-in high-end jewellery brands

Twelve premier jewellery brands - Marco Bicego, Charriol, Roberto Coin, Damiani, Gurhan, Hearts On Fire, Scott Kay, Kwiat, Mikimoto, Judith Ripka, Viewpoint, and David Yurman have committed to participate at the Couture event next year; a platform of showcasing the best in high-end jewellery design during the Las Vegas Market Week. Also, international brand Bulgari too is likely to participate at Couture 2011. This year’s edition of Couture was a resounding success and its organizers have set new guidelines known as the “Couture Commitments” to enhance the event’s deliverables with Commitment to host 1,000 retailers each year from 2011 – 2013; providing transportation–in luxury cars and/or shuttles–to make transit between Wynn Las Vegas and Mandalay Bay as seamless as possible; delivering the same level of five-star entertainment, amenities and networking opportunities that have become the trademark of the event; continuing to work closely with parent company Nielsen and employ exhibitors to build and nurture the Cornerstone and Signature Retailer programmes to deliver the most vibrant and pertinent collection of retailers to the show.

“Couture has consistently taken the lead in serving the needs of the high-end designer jewellery/watch market. The 2010 event has been a resounding success for our brand. And now with this visionary programme in place, they have created a long-term strategy that will benefit both exhibitors and retailers, and we couldn’t be more pleased to continue our relationship with the event,” said Glenn Rothman, CEO of Hearts On Fire. The event is in its 15th edition. Next year too it will be hosted at Wynn Las Vegas, as it has since 2005.
