2026 Centurion Jewelry Show: Exhibitors Showcase a Rainbow of Color February 02, 2026 (0 comments)

Phoenix, AZ--The Centurion show marks its 25th year as a premier venue for luxury retailers to discover jewels from many of the world’s leading designer and manufacturers. Fittingly for this milestone, exhibitors are embracing a vibrant celebration of color. It appears everywhere—from precious metals and diamonds to an extraordinary range of colored gemstones.

Many of these companies have long incorporated color into their designs, but this year it takes on a far more prominent role. The emphasis may well set the tone for the year ahead, at least among U.S. jewelry aficionados. Below is a sampling of the color and creativity on display in Phoenix.

The fashionable jewels of Lisa Nik rarely disappoint. Founder and creative director Lisa Nikfarjam has developed a distinctive aesthetic that blends an array of colored gemstones with diamonds and imaginative design elements. This year she expanded her Earth and Sea collection to encompass all four elements of nature—Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. The new pieces include gemstone necklaces featuring varied colors and cuts, asymmetrical earrings in yellow and blue hues, and sculptural pendants. Yellow gold plays a prominent role, especially in a coil-wrap ring and a series of delicate necklaces.

The New York–based, family-owned firm describes its aesthetic as a fusion of European architecture and the richness of Eastern ornamentation. At Centurion it presented a thoughtfully curated group of colorful designs, including two classic high-jewelry rings—one centered on a luminous emerald, the other on a striking sapphire. The company also introduced a proprietary gem cut, a modified pear-shaped cabochon, for its Gumdrop collection. These softly rounded stones, including green and pink tourmalines and moonstones, are set in gold with diamond accents.
Another line, Riva—created in collaboration with the Italian jewelry house Marina B—pairs colored gems with bold expressions of 18k yellow gold. This contrasts with the sleek Guardian collection, which highlights marquise-shaped gemstones and diamonds set in dynamic, modern arrangements.

The Miami-based design house led by Puja Bordia draws on deep Indian roots—she represents the 19th generation of a gemstone family from Jaipur, the historic gem capital of India. This year Bordia focused on Arizona turquoise, a material becoming increasingly rare due to declining mine production. Her access to the stone stems from large quantities purchased years ago by the family business as a long-term investment.

She incorporated the turquoise into necklaces featuring floral motifs centered with sapphire points and edged in diamonds, as well as into cone-shaped pendants and earrings. Bordia also presented bracelets and earrings combining pastel gemstones with traditional Indian design elements.

Few figures in fine jewelry operate on the level of Robert Procop. He sources exceptional gemstones worldwide—often directly from the mines—designs his own creations with both artistic vision and engineering precision, and works with master artisans in the U.S., Paris and Bangkok. The result is a rare model of true vertical integration in high jewelry.

Procop recently acquired a sapphire mine in Montana and an atelier in Paris, further strengthening his control over materials, design and craftsmanship. At the show he displayed rough gems from his own mine and other sources. The finished jewels he presented represented roughly a quarter of his annual production. It includes his signature high-jewelry creations coveted by collectors and exhibited in museums.

Not all color in jewelry comes from gemstones. The Florentine house Cammilli has built its reputation on innovative hues of 18k gold. The company now offers eight proprietary shades, achieved through a special process that gives the metal both a luminous sheen and a silky texture. Combined with sculptural, elegant designs, the formula has proven enduring—Cammilli celebrates 35 years in business.

Founded by Sweta Jain, the New York–based brand is rooted in a family with generations of experience in gemstones. Jain’s designs, paired with access to exceptional materials, result in an exuberant array of colorful jewels. Among the highlights at Centurion: heart-shaped emerald earrings framed in gold and diamonds, an unusually large and decorated natural opal pendant and a striking rutilated quartz pendant. She also expanded her Ark collection of animal-motif jewels and introduced flexible yellow-gold bracelets set with candy-colored emerald-cut gemstones.

Mercury Ring

This Secaucus, New Jersey–based company specializes in fancy-colored lab-grown diamonds. Design and operations are handled in the U.S., while diamond manufacturing takes place in India. The standout piece at the show was an elaborate floral-motif necklace composed of white and yellow diamonds. Another highlight was a multi-band ring paved with diamonds and centered on a large fancy-colored stone—an unusual shade that the company describes as yellow, though it appears closer to orange to the eye.
