Join WJA New York Metro on Monday, November 16, for Designers After Dark: WJA + Cocktails @ DDC - an evening showcasing a curated group of independent jewelry designers and makers inside the Diamond Dealers Club at the International Gem Tower.

Come early for complimentary cocktails from 4–5 PM.

Meet the artists behind the collections, discover one-of-a-kind pieces, and shop directly from the designers.

This event brings together three organizations connecting the jewelry industry in different ways: WJA’s community and professional network, Polygon’s B2B marketplace connecting jewelry professionals, and NYC Jewelry Week’s broader platform for connecting designers with consumers, collectors, creatives, and press.

It’s a chance to experience a normally private destination in the Diamond District while discovering the independent talent shaping what’s next in jewelry. This event is free to attend.
