NouvelleBox/JCK Las Vegas 2026

NouvelleBox’s participation in JCK Luxury brings with it a roster of seven companies, all who create jewels that are imbued with either symbolism or a bold use of gemstones and color, or both. Imagination is at the forefront of these designers’ collections, from the playful and irreverent to a merging of historical and modern influences. Darren Hildrow, London-based founder and director of NouvelleBox, explains, “I've never been more excited about where NouvelleBox is heading. Joining JCK Luxury for the first time is a huge step for us in the US market, and I wanted to mark that with something exceptional — so I've brought together seven designers who each have their own distinctive and extraordinary story to tell. This is just the beginning."
Here we take a look at the participating designers:
Jewelry designer Julia Chafe creates bold, fine jewelry that merges modern luxury with playful use of vibrant colored gemstones. “Rainbow sapphires are part of my signature and I work them into designs that feel both elevated and everyday wearable.” Her collection revolves around classic styles like eternity bands and necklaces that are contemporized by the use of these rainbow hues.
Lene Vibe’s imagination knows no bounds. "I find inspiration everywhere I go—it started with everything I found while traipsing through the woods and working in my garden but has evolved,” says Vibe. “I am also influenced by the shimmer of the ocean, leaves caught in the wind, architectural details, or a line from a book. There are no limits; anything the eye catches can be a spark, though I usually 'see' most clearly when I’m out in nature."

Svetlana Lazar, the designer behind the collection, has honed her skill as a bench jeweler, creating imaginative jewels that focus on themes that transcend trends but rather seek to engage the wearer in enchanting forms and statements of personal expression. “I seek to create jewels with “a powerful presence and delightful escape,” says Lazar. Each piece is designed around one-of-a-kind gems, as in her new Echo collection or her signature Wishing Well setting that creates an effortless illusion of water moving beneath gems.
Founded by Francesca Ruggiero, KIAIA is a London-based fine jewelry brand that is all handcrafted in Italy and is built around ancient coins, relics, and symbols, artefacts that carry centuries of meaning.
Ruggiero explains, “The aesthetic is defined by a dialogue between archaeology and luxury, where raw, history-infused materials are reimagined as contemporary and wearable jewels.”
Originally trained as a bench jeweler, Maura Green worked in various jobs in the jewelry industry before launching a collection under her own name in 2019. “My collection is heavily based on symbolism,” says Green. “Pieces are often hand carved from natural shells such as mother of pearl and abalone, materials chosen as much for their soul as their beauty, and set in 14K gold.”
Michelle Fantaci, Creative Director of Tacit, explains her approach to the collection: “It is a love letter to freedom, irreverence, playfulness, and gritty glamour featuring wearable icons in vivid colors.” Designed in New York, it is crafted in 14K gold, ceramic color-coated silver, and fine diamonds by an RJC-certified partner in Thailand.
Pietra is the newest collection that Wyld Box will be featuring at the 2026 NouvelleBox/JCK Show in Las Vegas. “The design builds on the brand’s signature ’70s- and vintage-inspired aesthetic: sculptural and confident, focusing on diamond statement pieces that are conceived to create a strong presence and visual power when worn — statement pieces with meaning, where diamonds are not delicate but defined,” says founder Rosanna Fieldler. “This is Wyld Box at its most elevated — where design, light, and material come together with clarity and strength.”
