Melee the Show is making its fourth return to Tucson, this time showcasing 22 top jewelry designers from February 5-7, 2025, at the Stillwell House in downtown Tucson, just a stone's throw from the renowned AGTA GemFair. The event is unique for its focus on finished fine jewelry, bringing together artists who create standout pieces with a deep commitment to craftsmanship and storytelling.
This year’s event is bringing 12 new designers to the spotlight, including names like Paola Zovar, Studio Baharra, and Siri Hansdotter. These talented creators will join returning artists like Lauren Wolf Jewelry, Rebecca Overmann, and Adel Chefridi. The showcase promises a rich array of designs, from 14k Fairmined gold hoops with turquoise to 18k white gold rings featuring rose-cut diamonds, each piece telling its own story.
Melee’s opening party is a must-attend event, offering a vibrant night of live mariachi music, drinks, and dinner, setting the tone for the creative vibes ahead. It’s an evening that brings together press, buyers, and jewelers for a relaxed, fun start to the show.
While Tucson is known for its loose gemstone markets, Melee the Show offers something special for those seeking one-of-a-kind finished jewelry pieces. The designs featured here are not mass-produced but are carefully crafted by passionate jewelers who prioritize artistry, uniqueness, and craftsmanship. If you're a buyer, designer, or jewelry enthusiast, this event is a fantastic opportunity to discover new talent and shop pieces that stand out from the crowd.
Whether you're looking for exquisite gold earrings, gemstone rings, or custom pieces, Melee the Show Tucson is your chance to experience jewelry like never before.
