As international jewelry trade continues to evolve, the JIS Show (Jewelers International Showcase) in Miami Beach, FL is reinforcing its position as the leading global sourcing hub connecting the United States, Latin America, and the Caribbean. JIS Spring, taking place March 8 – 10 in Miami Beach, a city long recognized as a crossroads for commerce and culture, brings together a uniquely international mix of buyers and exhibitors at a moment when cross-border trade has never been more critical.
The JIS Spring show, taking place at the Miami Beach Convention Center, is timed for new season trends and functions as a restocking ground for the global jewelry business. Retailers, manufacturers, and wholesalers from across the Americas and beyond use the show as a strategic meeting point, drawn by Miami’s accessibility, infrastructure, and deep ties to Latin American and Caribbean markets. For many international buyers, Miami has become the preferred alternative to sourcing in Europe or Asia, offering, proximity and cultural fluency.
The 2026 JIS Spring Show is gearing up for a successful event with participation from buyers in Latin America, the Caribbean and locally showing a positive trend – reinforcing their need for new inventory.
“The Spring show in Miami Beach allows us to connect jewelry retailers and suppliers in one centralized hub,” says Sara McDonough, Event Director for JIS Events. “The timing and location create a perfect destination for a unique community, made up of local boutique stores in Florida, buyers gearing up for travel and tourism in the Caribbean, and designers across the Americas. This is the show that the jewelry trade industry trusts for immediate delivery and secure transactions.”
International and Latin American jewelry trade professionals attend JIS from across Central and South America, the Caribbean, and other global markets to restock and replenish inventory. Vendor and brand discovery provides a diverse range of product, spanning from silver and fashion pieces, fine jewelry collections, well-known brands and more. This year, nearly half of the attendees note silver and fashion products to be of interest in their sourcing and discovery goals.
What’s New at JIS Miami? The Spring show introduces several exciting additions, including the Accessories & Gifts Pavilion which expands beyond jewelry, offering lifestyle pieces and curated gift finds that complement fine jewelry assortments and support broader retail strategies. Additionally, the Brands Pavilion will be on the show floor, spotlighting both up-and-coming designers and established names to give retail buyers direct access to the newest trends shaping their stores. Within this new pavilion, pop up conversations coined “On Trend with JIS” will feature conversations that focus on trends, covering topics such as what’s going on with metals to bridal style and beyond. The show will also kick off with an opening-night Welcome Reception on March 8, themed “Sail and Socialize,” a nod to Miami’s deep-rooted cruise industry and JIS’s longstanding ties to that market. Additionally, a wave of new exhibitors will make their Spring debut in Miami Beach as their first-quarter selling marketplace, including David Kord, Hoover & Strong, Crislu, Orolink, and more.
As the upcoming edition approaches, the JIS Spring show continues to position itself as a critical destination for buyers and exhibitors seeking international reach, efficient sourcing, well-timed restocking, and insight into cross-border jewelry commerce. Retailers, wholesale buyers, attending professionals and members of the media are invited to register here.

Presented by Itaú, Strengthening Its Longstanding Connection with World-Class Tennis
Pirelli North America announced a new multi-year partnership with the Miami Open presented by Itaú, reinforcing the company’s strategic commitment to the North American market and further strengthening its long-standing relationship with world-class sport and the game of tennis.
As one of the most important stages for global sport, North America represents a core pillar of Pirelli’s growth, innovation, and brand leadership. The Miami Open, hosted in a city that has rapidly emerged as a global epicenter for elite sporting events, offers a powerful platform to connect with fans, partners, and consumers across the region and around the world.
As an Official Partner of the Miami Open, Pirelli will be integrated throughout the tournament experience, including on-court visibility, digital initiatives, and fan engagement activations, beginning with the 2026 edition of the event, scheduled for March 15–29 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.
“North America is a priority market for Pirelli, not only from a commercial standpoint but also in terms of brand relevance and cultural influence,” said Claudio Zanardo, CEO of Pirelli North America.
“Partnering with the Miami Open allows us to strengthen our presence on one of the most prestigious stages in global tennis, in a city that perfectly reflects the energy, diversity, and international reach of this market.”
“Pirelli is perfectly aligned with the Miami Open’s core partnership principles, which focuses on being connected with premium global brands in authentic ways,” said MARI SVP Josh Ripple.
Aa“The on-court integration of the Pirelli Speed Serve will highlight premium technology and performance excellence for our fans, global broadcast audiences, and the players. The Miami Open is proud to be part of Pirelli’s journey in professional sports.”
Miami’s rise as one of the world’s most dynamic sports hubs makes it a natural setting for this partnership. Already present in the city through other major sporting platforms, Pirelli sees the Miami Open as a strategic extension of its multi-sport footprint in a city that continues to shape the future of global sports.
PIRELLI IN SPORTS
The partnership is rooted in a deep and authentic connection between Pirelli and tennis. The company began manufacturing tennis balls in the 1930s, remaining active in the sport throughout the 1970s, establishing an early bond with a discipline defined by precision, control, and performance: values that continue to define the Pirelli brand today.
The new exclusive bespoke car, makes its debut in St. Moritz
An extraordinary MCPURA, created through the Fuoriserie customization program, makes its debut in the prestigious setting of Switzerland’s most iconic frozen lake
The magic of snow, the thrill of high-performance driving on the icy track of Lake St. Moritz, and the audience of the most exclusive winter event provided the perfect backdrop for the presentation of the Maserati MCPURA Cielo – FROZEN MAGMA. This unique and bespoke model, crafted by the Maserati Fuoriserie program, masterfully blends visual and emotional opposites in a mix of power and timeless elegance. Its name is born from the encounter with an iconic location that, beneath a surface of crystalline blues, holds an incandescent soul, where absolute cold and fire merge into a single, pure energy.
In this evocative scenario, the Trident’s exclusive model immediately captured attention thanks to its exclusive Ai Aqua Rainbow glossy body colour: an iridescent paint finish that changes shade when under the light, evoking the crystal-clear surface of the glacier. In contrast with this bright cold base, bespoke glossy orange accents convey warmth and energy. The orange dreamline livery, the orange Trident on tonneau cover, the external badges, the Maserati lettering, and the Cielo badge become bold, unmistakable graphic elements designed to stand out against the snowy landscape. The contrast is further enhanced by glossy black lower facias and 20” Cyclonic glossy black Fuoriseriewheels, paired with orange brake calipers, coordinated orange wheel hub caps and Trident details.
Inside, the cabin reflects the same aesthetic tension between rigor and exclusivity. Black Alcantara creates an environment that is both technical and emotionally engaging, with lasered Chevron graphic detailing, backing orange and the Trident embroidered on the headrests, while orange stitching runs throughout the interior as a visual leitmotif. Carbon fiber deco trim emphasizes the car’s racing character, completed by a dedicated Interior Badge reading “Maserati Fuoriserie – THE I.C.E. 2026 – ONE OF ONE”, lasered and printed to certify the absolute uniqueness of this model.
Powered by the iconic 630 hp V6 Nettuno engine featuring patented pre-chamber technology, the MCPURA Cielo – FROZEN MAGMA boasts a rich array of optional features, including carbon ceramic brakes, the Suspension Lifter, and a comprehensive driver assistance pack. It also features the sophisticated Sonus Faber Premium audio system for a holistic and immersive onboard driving experience.
As part of the Concours d’Elegance, two of the most iconic Maserati models – classic, sporty, and luxurious – will grace the frozen lake: one Maserati 300S and one Maserati 4CLT, unique, timeless vehicles expressing the brand’s sporting soul and its deep-rooted connection with motorsport.
This glamorous event is part of the Year of the Trident, celebrating the 100th anniversary of both the Maserati logo – inspired by Bologna’s Fountain of Neptune and designed by Mario Maserati – and the brand’s competitive debut with the iconic Tipo 26 at the Targa Florio, which immediately claimed victory in its class and marked the beginning of a long record of triumphs and sporting milestones.
Santo Ficili, Maserati COO, stated: “With MCPURA Cielo – FROZEN MAGMA, we are shaping an emotion even before creating an extraordinary car. This Fuoriserie project was conceived to dialogue with a unique setting like St. Moritz, interpreting our vision of contemporary luxury through shapes, colours, and materials, rooted in craftsmanship, performance, and Heritage, and capable of transforming an iconic model into a one-of-a-kind work of art. MCPURA Cielo – FROZEN MAGMA is part of the BOTTEGAFUORISERIE program, through which we aim to elevate the creation of timeless bespoke vehicles drawing from our history and our vision, making each of our cars a true symbol of Italian excellence and pure performance.”
Last Friday (October 10), Anyma took the stage at one of the most iconic landmarks on Earth, the Great Pyramids of Giza, for a rare performance set against the backdrop of ancient stone and open desert sky. Anyma’s breathtaking socials clips from the event have already amassed over 10 million views – the setting truly must be seen to be believed.
A defining moment for Anyma, the show delivered a powerful connection between music and atmosphere. The vastness of the setting, the weight of history, and the natural stillness of the environment shaped a unique experience for thousands of fans, transcending the eras and defying the usual confines of the dance floor. The event was also a historic moment for Anyma, who delivered his first-ever two-part performance. Taking place across two distinctive stages, Anyma performed a unique set on each: Anyma’s Quantum concept as a DJ set, leading into The End Of Genesys as a state-of-the-art audiovisual show that pushed the boundaries of live performance.
Known for his meticulously crafted sets, Anyma brings a sound that is both intimate and infinitely expansive. This event marked an opportunity to hear that sound in one of the world’s most monumental settings, where every echo carries farther and every detail lands with more impact. Anyma will bring the next era of his show Æden to his Coachella headline set in 2026.

Jake Paul’s W and Von Dutch Unite for Exclusive Fashion Collab Ahead of Miami Showdown with Anthony Joshua
The limited-edition pre-sale drops Nov 24th, offering fans first access to the collaboration and the chance to get signed merchandise.
Von Dutch’s cult streetwear platform Von Dutch Loves has joined forces withJake Paul’s bodycare brand, W, to launch an exclusive capsule collection that fuses heritage, individuality, confidence and main-event hype. The capsule blends a throwback attitude with a modern edge, and is built for the ones who back themselves, no matter what, landing just weeks before Jake’s highly anticipated fight against two-time heavyweight world champion, Anthony Joshua, in Miami on December 19.
Dropping via pre-sale on November 24th, the “Von Dutch Loves x W” collaboration features four hats and four apparel pieces that mix Von Dutch’s signature West Coast attitude with Jake Paul’s disruptive athletic style. Designed by Lindsey Falack, the creative lead behind Von Dutch Loves, the collection captures the shared spirit of rebellion and confidence that defines both brands.
The capsule reinterprets classic Von Dutch DNA through Jake Paul’s modern lens. From brown suede hats recalling vintage Von Dutch textures to a minimal varsity jacket and pin-striped black muscle tee, each piece reflects the meeting point of streetwear, sport and self-belief.
Von Dutch Loves is the brand’s collaborative platform spotlighting creative partnerships with modern icons and cultural disruptors who share the Von Dutch spirit of self-expression. W is Jake Paul’s disruptive Gen-Z bodycare brand that represents the mindset of winning, resilience and confidence in every arena, from the ring to the street.
Fans who sign-up ahead of the formal drop on Tuesday, November 25th, will get the first chance to buy the collection with exclusive early access to signed merchandise from Jake Paul.
Designer Lindsey Falack discussed her thought process when creating the collection; “I designed the Jake Paul x Von Dutch Loves collection to bring Jake’s edge into Von Dutch’s world without losing either identity. The goal was to make it clean and wearable but still loud in its attitude. The brown suede hats tie back to classic Von Dutch materials, while the tees and varsity jacket stay minimal and modern. The neon yellow “W” logo comes straight from Jake’s brand; it’s a punch of color that’s a reminder to back yourself, bring your best, and turn every moment into a win. The black muscle tee with pin striping is a nod to both boxing aesthetics and street style; athletic, but not gym wear. Jake’s boldness and Von Dutch’s history of pushing boundaries naturally fit together. This collection reflects that intersection; heritage and hype, stripped down to the essentials.”
Says Jake Paul on the collaboration, “Von Dutch always stood for being unapologetically yourself and that’s exactly what ‘W’ is about. This collab celebrates winning energy and personal expression. It’s fashion with purpose and gives you confidence to back yourself and bring that positivity to everything you do.”
