NYCJW26: The Week
November 16 — 22, 2026
Every November, NYC Jewelry Week presents The Week: a seven-day celebration dedicated to the art of jewelry.
NYCJW26 brings together artists, designers, makers, galleries, retailers, collectors, curators, and jewelry lovers for a dynamic program of exhibitions, conversations, shopping experiences, workshops, demonstrations, receptions, walks, tours, gallery crawls, and more.
You can participate in person in New York City, online from anywhere, or both.
New to NYC Jewelry Week?
Here’s how it works.
NYCJW is a citywide festival, not a single venue. In-person activities take place across Manhattan and Brooklyn, alongside a virtual program.
You don’t need to be a jewelry expert or attend everything. Use the schedule to find what interests you and make the week your own.
We’ve created a 6-step plan to help you make the most of NYCJW26. Read on to find your way around The Week, discover what interests you, and build your own NYCJW adventure.
