Southern Florida is renowned for its sun, sand, and social scene--and for the eclectic Palm Beach Jewelry, Art, & Antique Show. The five-day event is huge, offering quality items in more than 200 booths stocked by dealers from around the world.
The latest Palm Beach show closed on Feb. 17, putting the lid on its sixth annual event. As always, there was no shortage of spectacular pieces on display. This show, though, had the challenge of being scheduled amid a struggling U.S. economy.
