3 New Collections to See at JCK This Year

By Brittany Siminitz | June 06, 2025

The 2025 JCK show officially kicks off today in Las Vegas. With nearly 1,800 exhibitors on tap, I’m going to be hustling to visit as many booths as possible (but the only way to see them all might be with a time machine).

We’ve been narrowing our lists down just a little—from 1,800 to 1,000, maybe?—and thought we could at least offer three collections to check out on your journey through the show floor. See you there!

Maramenos & Pateras’ Icarus

“Each year we make sure that we have a new collection at the JCK show, which is the outcome of our creativity, based on the same vision since 1969—to create unique jewelry designs which will be loved and worn forever,” says Antonis Pateras of Athens-based Maramenos & Pateras. This year, that new collection is Icarus, inspired by the ancient Greek myth involving wings made of feathers and wax.

The Icarus jewels “reflect the texture of a feather wing and transform a simple element into a precious, sculptural design through creativity and the precision of tiny linear grooves,” says Pateras, adding that the collection “symbolizes ambition and represents the human desire to achieve greatness and reach new heights.”

Maramenos & Pateras can be found in the Design Collective, booth #14036.

Kirk Kara’s first non-bridal collection

Kirk Kara hoop earrings — *Engraved milgrain timeless hoop earrings in 18k yellow gold, $2,730*

Kirk Kara pendant — *Engraved bar necklace in 14k white gold with blue sapphires and 0.03 ct. t.w. diamonds, $2,420*

After 135 years in the engagement and wedding business, Kirk Kara is venturing into a new category with its very first collection of necklaces, earrings, and bracelets, all available in choice of 14k or 18k white, yellow, or rose gold.

“We’ve carried forward the artistry that defines us—exquisite hand-engraving, intricate milgrain, and romantic flourishes—into these new designs,” says CEO Angela Karaguezian. “Whether it’s a bracelet adorned with our signature scrollwork or a pair of earrings featuring delicate floral motifs, each design reflects the craftsmanship and storytelling that have been the heart of Kirk Kara for 135 years. These aren’t just pieces of jewelry—they’re wearable works of art that honor our past while reimagining it for today’s collector.”

Kirk Kara bangle — *Milgrain bangle bracelet in 14k yellow gold with baguette diamonds, $5,730*

Rejected Hearts Club’s healing jewelry

Rejected Hearts Club socialite rose necklace — *Socialite necklace in rose gold-wrapped wire, $275*

Rejected Hearts Club Last Tear earrings — *Last Tear earrings in silver, $105*

Okay, this isn’t one new collection but a new exhibitor at JCK: Rejected Hearts Club, whose jewelry is lovely and sentimental—and designed to aid in healing.

“Rejected Hearts Club was born from heartbreak, first from a breakup and then the sudden loss of my brother,” says founder and designer Jamie Batiste. “Through grief, I found a deeper purpose, which was to create something beautiful out of pain. Each collection tells a story of healing, self-love, and resilience. Our designs, especially those featuring magnetic clasps and healing stones like hematite, are meant to help people reconnect with themselves and with others.

“At the show, I hope to convey that jewelry can be more than just an accessory—it can be a symbol of transformation and connection,” Batiste says. “I want attendees to feel the heart behind the brand and understand that every piece is handcrafted with intention to empower, to inspire, and to remind you that even in rejection, there is strength and power.”
