JCK Events’ LUXURY Privé Panama held its inaugural show in the Latin American hot spot last month with a 3-day event. The first ever high-end jewelry event in Latin America featured 50 exhibitors and welcomed retailers from 23 countries representing just over 380 stores from 75 leading retailers in the markets. Held at the Westin Playa Bonita in Panama City, Panama, the atmosphere was full of energy and optimism for the future of jewelry in Central and Latin America, Mexico and the Caribbean.

Panama boasts oceanfront vistas |
Amid the oceanfront vistas, the relaxed, yet upscale environment of LUXURY Privé Panama proved the perfect counterpart to the show’s New York arm; where Privé New York draws elite U.S. based buyers during an opportune time in New York City, the Panama show is a convenience for Latin American buyers who need access to high-end brands now more than ever.
Lourdes Ceballos of Daniel Ceballos Joyeros – Hermosillo, Mexico said “We are very excited to have a more private and personalized show, where vendors and buyers really get a feel of starting a long-term business relationship. We are looking to purchase high-end merchandise and for us it’s important to take our time, to ask questions for the decision making. It’s a small, yet inviting atmosphere that we found at Privé is what makes this kind of experience worthwhile. The social events throughout the show have made networking so easy and efficient, we are so happy to have made new friends and partnerships. LUXURY Privé is a small show with a big future!“
“LUXURY Privé Panama has been both a smart business opportunity and a wonderful, cultural experience for us,” shared Fred Sage of Frederic Sage. “We feel extremely optimistic about the potential for business in this part of the world and were delighted by the open warmth and friendliness of the people we will be doing that business with. We felt we made life-long relationships here this week.”
