CBG Brings Its Curated Designer Project To Las Vegas Show
The Curated Designer Project Has Expanded To Highlight Eight Independent Jewelry Designers During CBG’s Las Vegas Show.
Continental Buying Group (CBG) expanded its Curated Designer Project (CDP) at its Las Vegas show, bringing together eight independent jewellery designers in a move aimed at strengthening access to distinctive, handcrafted collections for retail members. Held at Caesars Palace, the initiative built on the success of its debut in Miami earlier this year and doubled in scale for the Las Vegas edition.
The curated showcase featured returning designers Chris Ploof Designs and Folium, alongside new participants including GemologyGeek, Joyla Jewelry, Rahul’s Jewels, Melinda Lawton Jewelry, Jason McLeod Jewelry, and Anty. By spotlighting original craftsmanship, symbolic storytelling, and niche design aesthetics, the CDP reinforced CBG’s focus on helping independent retailers stand apart through exclusive and creatively diverse jewellery offerings.
The concept behind the CDP is simple: offer retailer members access to distinctive jewellery collections that stand apart from mass-market offerings and cannot easily be found “down the street.”The pavilion follows an asset-light model, with many of the participating designers focusing on limited-edition collections, artisanal craftsmanship and bespoke commissions rather than carrying extensive inventory. The emphasis is firmly on originality, storytelling and exclusivity — qualities increasingly valued by independent retailers looking to differentiate themselves in a competitive market.
