    Edition recap

    The second annual Centurion Summer Show, branded Centurion Greenbrier 2025, took place August 17-19, 2025 at The Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. Ahead of the event, organizers released the official Show Guide featuring 84 exhibiting companies and expectations for approximately 100 invited retail stores. Building upon the inaugural 2024 Sea Island event format, the edition emphasized targeted buying opportunities for high-end jewelers in a relaxed luxury resort setting.

      New venue: The Breakers Palm Beach

      The 2026 edition moved from The Greenbrier Resort (West Virginia, 2025) to The Breakers Palm Beach, a historic oceanfront resort, marking the show's third venue in three years.

      Expansion into pre-owned Swiss watches

      Centurion Summer added a pre-owned Swiss watch category (including Rolex) for 2026, a category previously associated mainly with the winter Arizona show, as exhibit space sold out.

    Next edition outlook

    2026-08-30 – 2026-09-01
    estimated

    The 2026 Centurion Summer Show is the third annual edition of the series and the first at The Breakers Palm Beach, presenting 80+ designers, manufacturers and service companies to invited retailer buyers. The show was officially announced sold out on the retailer side by May 2026, with a new pre-owned Swiss watch exhibitor category added to the lineup.

    New venue debut at The Breakers Palm Beach, replacing The Greenbrier used in 2025 Addition of a pre-owned Swiss watch exhibitor category Sold-out retailer registration reached well ahead of the show dates, indicating tighter buyer access than prior editions

    Impact

    A bigger and stronger platform

    The Centurion Greenbrier 2025 edition brought together 84 top designers, manufacturers and service companies with 100 invited jewelry retailer stores for a compact, high-touch buying event over three days. Buyer spots were reported as almost entirely allocated ahead of the show, underscoring strong demand for the invitation-only format. That momentum carried into the 2026 edition, Centurion's third annual summer show, which moved to The Breakers Palm Beach and was announced sold out on the retailer side within months of opening registration.

    Audience quality

    High-value decision-makers

    The show is invitation-only and targets high-level fine jewelry store owners and buyers rather than the general trade, with the 2025 Greenbrier edition inviting around 100 retailer stores against 84 exhibiting companies, a ratio favoring exhibitor access to serious buyers. Many attendees also participate in Centurion's larger flagship Arizona show, suggesting a repeat, qualified buyer base across the show series.

    Exhibitor outcomes

    Real business growth

    Exhibitors benefit from a small, curated exhibit footprint (Colonial Hall and an adjacent ballroom at the 2025 Greenbrier edition) that keeps buyer traffic concentrated and easy to navigate. Sponsored programming such as golf events, nightly open bar receptions, and buyer education sessions is designed to extend engagement time with retailers beyond the show floor, though no official quantitative ROI or sales-conversion data has been published for the previous edition.

    United States - Southeast (Florida) / national luxury jewelry trade circuit

    Why it matters

    Centurion Summer Show 2026 sits at the intersection of a resilient, high-end US jewelry market and a volatile precious metals environment, giving invited retailers a curated venue to source new collections just as consumer spending among affluent buyers stays strong despite gold and silver price swings. For exhibitors, the show offers direct access to serious department store buyers, independent jewelers, and boutique owners at a moment when natural diamonds, platinum, and bold gold designs are gaining traction, making relationship-driven, invitation-only formats increasingly valuable compared to larger open trade fairs.

    Industry trends

    Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.

    01

    Gold and silver price volatility reshaping product mix

    Record swings in gold (from roughly 2,850 to over 5,500 per ounce and back) and silver prices in 2026 are forcing jewelers to adjust pricing frequently and experiment with alternative materials like platinum, steel, and wood alongside bolder, higher-value gold designs.

    Source
    02

    Natural diamonds regaining ground over lab-grown

    Higher-end consumers are showing renewed demand for natural diamonds to differentiate from mass-market lab-grown stones, even as lab-grown wholesale prices have collapsed roughly 99 percent since 2017, creating a bifurcated diamond market relevant to exhibitors at fine jewelry shows.

    Source
    03

    Platinum resurgence as a value alternative

    Platinum sales are accelerating in 2026 as jewelers and retailers shift away from white gold, positioning platinum as a relative bargain against surging gold prices while retaining a premium feel for luxury buyers.

    Source
    04

    Steady overall US jewelry sales growth in H1 2026

    US jewelry sales grew about 9 percent in H1 2026, driven by higher-priced purchases, indicating resilient demand among the affluent buyer segments that invitation-only shows like Centurion target.

    Source
    05

    Market bifurcation favoring high-end retailers

    Brands and retailers catering to a higher-end clientele are performing well despite broader economic uncertainty, while value-focused segments face more pressure, reinforcing the relevance of curated, high-end buyer events over mass-market trade fairs.

    A range of accommodation options near the venue and across key areas.

    budget
    West Palm Beach (downtown, across the Intracoastal from Palm Beach)

    USD 120–220 / night

    Standard chain hotels in downtown West Palm Beach are the most affordable base, roughly 2 miles and a short bus (Line 41) or taxi ride from The Breakers; prices are estimated seasonal averages, not official show rates.

    mid range
    West Palm Beach / Palm Beach Lakes area

    USD 220–400 / night

    Upper-midscale and boutique hotels near CityPlace/Rosemary district or along Flagler Drive offer a balance of price and proximity, typically a 10-15 minute drive to the venue; figures are estimates based on general market rates, not organiser-published pricing.

    premium
    Palm Beach island (near The Breakers and Worth Avenue)

    USD 500–1200 / night

    On-island luxury hotels and resorts near Worth Avenue put attendees within walking or short driving distance of the venue; rates fluctuate heavily by season and are estimates, not confirmed show-block pricing.

    ultra luxury
    The Breakers Palm Beach (on-site)

    USD 700–2000 / night

    Staying directly at The Breakers eliminates all local transport needs but comes at a significant premium; official show attendee room block rates, if any, were not published and this range is a general market estimate.

    Local transport

    Get around the city with these convenient transport options.

    Ride-hail (Uber/Lyft)

    Estimated cost$20-35
    Best forPalm Beach International Airport (PBI) to The Breakers

    The most common and convenient option for the roughly 15-minute airport transfer; also practical for hotel-to-venue trips within Palm Beach/West Palm Beach.

    Local bus (Palm Tran Line 41)

    Estimated cost$2
    Best forWest Palm Beach (Quadrille Blvd/Clematis St) to N County Rd at Coconut Row/Breakers

    Budget public transit option running a few times daily; journey takes about 10 minutes but service frequency is limited, so it suits attendees staying in downtown West Palm Beach with flexible schedules.

    Taxi

    Estimated cost$6-8 (short hop) / $20-30 (from airport)
    Best forWest Palm Beach to The Breakers Palm Beach

    Local operators such as Inlet Cab Co serve the area; useful as a reliable alternative to ride-hail apps, especially late at night or during high-demand periods.

    Rental car / self-drive

    Estimated costVaries by rental company and season
    Best forI-95 Exit 74 (Okeechobee Blvd) to South County Road (A1A)

    Straightforward driving route via I-95 and the drawbridge over the Intracoastal Waterway; The Breakers offers guest parking, making self-drive practical for attendees planning to explore beyond the venue.

    Amtrak / Tri-Rail

    Estimated costRail fare plus onward taxi/rideshare (approx 55-60 min walk from station, so a connecting ride is recommended)
    Best forWest Palm Beach Station/Amtrak Station to The Breakers area

    Tri-Rail and Amtrak (Silver Meteor, Floridian) serve West Palm Beach Station, but it is not within easy walking distance of the venue, so pairing rail travel with a short taxi or rideshare leg is advised.

    Visa & entry documents

    Check the latest visa requirements and entry guidelines before travelling.

    Visa not required
    ATA Carnet: accepted
    TypeWho needs itFeeProcessing
    B-1 Business Visitor VisaForeign nationals not from Visa Waiver Program countries who need to attend business meetings, negotiate contracts, or attend a business convention or trade show in the US$185.00Varies by embassy/consulate; typically several weeks including interview wait times
    ESTA under Visa Waiver Program (VWP)Citizens/nationals of the roughly 40 VWP-participating countries traveling for short temporary business visits, including trade shows and conventions$21.00Usually approved within minutes to 72 hours if applied online in advance
    B-1/B-2 Combined Visitor VisaNon-VWP nationals combining business activities (trade show attendance) with tourism/personal travel on the same trip$185.00Similar to standard B-1 processing, subject to consulate-specific interview backlogs

    Citizens of Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries can attend the Centurion Summer Show business-visitor style without a visa by obtaining ESTA authorization before travel, since attending a business convention or trade show qualifies under VWP business purposes. Nationals of non-VWP countries, including India, generally need a B-1 (or combined B-1/B-2) visa obtained through a US embassy or consulate before travel, and processing times and interview wait times vary significantly by country and consulate, so this should be treated as nationality-dependent and verified individually.

    The United States is an ATA Carnet member country, and jewelry, commercial samples, and trade-show exhibition goods are explicitly listed as carnet-eligible categories, making the carnet a practical duty-free temporary import option for exhibitors bringing jewelry samples and display materials to the Centurion Summer Show. Carnets are not valid for goods intended for sale; any exhibition jewelry actually sold in the US would be subject to duties and a penalty under carnet rules, so exhibitors planning sales on-site should consult a customs broker.

    Official visa page

    Weather

    Late August into early September in Palm Beach is peak Florida summer: hot and humid with daily highs typically in the low-to-mid 90s F (32-35C) and overnight lows around 77-80F (25-27C). Afternoon and early-evening thunderstorms are common due to sea breeze convection, with heat index values frequently exceeding 100F, so attendees should expect brief, intense downpours alongside sustained heat and humidity.

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Invitation-only luxury trade culture

    Centurion events are invitation-only and cater to elite jewelry retailers and buyers, so business attire and a polished, relationship-driven approach are expected on the show floor and at evening receptions.

    Resort dress codes apply

    The Breakers is a historic luxury resort with formal dress expectations in dining rooms and evening venues; smart resort wear is typical during the day, with more formal attire often expected for dinners and galas.

    Business is relationship-first

    As with other Centurion shows, deal-making often happens through repeat relationships built over golf outings, cocktail receptions, and buyer education sessions rather than cold walk-up pitches.

    Heat and humidity etiquette

    Given Palm Beach's late-summer heat and humidity, light, breathable business attire and frequent hydration are practical norms; locals and repeat attendees plan outdoor time for early morning or evening.

    Practical guides

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Destination: Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)

    PBI has fewer nonstop long-haul options, so international visitors often connect through MIA or FLL and complete the final leg by car or short domestic flight.

    Visa

    US entry requirements are nationality-dependent: VWP-country citizens can attend using ESTA without a visa, while other nationals typically need a B-1 business visitor visa to attend the Centurion Summer Show as a buyer or exhibitor representative.

    Processing: ESTA: minutes to 72 hours; B-1 visa: several weeks depending on consulate interview availability

    Attendees should confirm their specific nationality's requirement on the official US Department of State site well before the August 30-September 1, 2026 show dates, since interview backlogs at some consulates can extend processing to months.

    Transport

    Get to the venue and around the city with these options.

    Airport → venue: Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is about 15 minutes from The Breakers via rideshare, taxi, or rental car; driving directions follow I-95 Exit 74 (Okeechobee Blvd) east to Flagler Drive, across the drawbridge, then south on County Road/A1A.

    Hotel → venue: From downtown West Palm Beach, the Palm Tran Line 41 bus, a short taxi ($6-8), or rideshare covers the roughly 2-mile trip across the Intracoastal to The Breakers.

    Ride-hail: Uber and Lyft operate widely across Palm Beach and West Palm Beach and are the most flexible option for airport transfers and local trips.

    Public transit: Palm Tran Line 41 bus stops within a 5-minute walk of The Breakers, though service runs only a few times daily; Tri-Rail and Amtrak serve West Palm Beach Station but require an onward taxi or rideshare to reach the venue.

    Parking: The Breakers offers on-site guest parking for attendees arriving by rental car or personal vehicle.

    Weather

    Plan and pack for the event climate.

    Month: August-September

    Temperature: approximately 77-95F (25-35C)

    Seasonality: Peak hurricane season and daily convective thunderstorm risk, typically in the afternoon or early evening; humidity remains high throughout the show dates.

    Packing: Bring lightweight, breathable business attire, a rain layer or compact umbrella, comfortable walking shoes, and sun protection for outdoor resort areas.

    August 30 is the arrival day, reserved for optional golf/tennis, exhibitor set-up, and welcome cocktails — the show floor is not open to retail buyers that day. August 31 is the first of two full show days, opening with the retailer breakfast and morning speaker session ahead of floor hours, giving buyers first access to full inventory and the most exhibitor attention before the show concludes September 1.

    T-60

    Confirm retailer invitation/eligibility status with Centurion — Centurion Summer Show is an invitation-only event for qualifying retail buyers; confirm status before booking travel.

    T-45

    Book flights to Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) — PBI is roughly 4 miles / a 12-minute drive from The Breakers Palm Beach.

    T-45

    Reserve a hotel room at The Breakers or a nearby property — Rooms at The Breakers and comparable nearby resorts can sell out or rise sharply in price as the Aug 30–Sep 1 dates approach.

    T-14

    Complete registration and confirm badge pick-up details

    T-10

    Review known exhibitor categories and shortlist target suppliers — No public exhibitor directory with booth numbers was found in advance; plan to confirm specifics on-site or via organizer communications.

    T-7

    Pack for optional golf, tennis/pickleball, and resort-casual evening events — Arrival day (Aug 30) includes an optional golf tournament and tennis/pickleball session, plus a welcome cocktail reception.

    T-3

    Confirm ground transportation plan from PBI to The Breakers — The Breakers offers on-site valet and self-parking for guests; no separate event shuttle has been published.

    QUESTION 1 OF 8

    Which category best describes what you buy or sell?

    Decision matrix

    Compare participation options side by side to choose the best fit for your objectives.

    visit

    You are an invited or eligible retail buyer with a live Q4/holiday fine-jewelry, watch, or gemstone budget and want direct access to 80+ curated luxury suppliers in one resort setting

    Best for

    Independent jewelers, department-store buyers, and luxury boutiques sourcing fine jewelry, watches, and gemstones for holiday-season resale

    Min. budget

    $2,800.00

    Timeline

    Retailer invitation/registration plus 4–6 weeks to book travel comfortably

    Risks

    Invitation-only entry limits who can attend as a buyer

    Rooms at The Breakers and nearby resorts can sell out or price-surge close to the show

    No public exhibitor list or floor plan is available to pre-plan meetings

    exhibit

    Your brand fits the show's curated luxury jewelry/watch/gemstone profile and you can secure space, or a waitlist spot, directly with organizers well ahead of the show

    Best for

    Established luxury jewelry, watch, and gemstone brands seeking direct relationships with high-end independent and department-store retail buyers

    Timeline

    Apply well ahead — exhibit space for the 2026 edition sold out before the show; plan 6–12 months ahead for a future edition

    Risks

    Exhibit space for 2026 is already sold out, so this specific edition may not be bookable

    No public booth/stand pricing is published; costs are negotiated directly and privately with organizers

    No public floor plan exists to evaluate booth location before committing

    skip

    Your product category doesn't match the show's luxury jewelry/watch/gemstone focus, you lack a retailer invitation or exhibit space, or your budget/timeline doesn't support travel to Palm Beach this cycle

    Best for

    Buyers or brands outside fine jewelry, watches, and gemstones, or without an invitation, budget, or lead time to participate

    Timeline

    None — no action needed

    Risks

    Missing a season of relationship-building with this show's retailer/brand network if your category fit improves later
