What type of jewelry will be available?

- Inlay jewelry featuring mother-of-pearl, onyx, and other natural materials
- Everyday wearable pieces
- Statement styles
- Designs not typically available in-store
What’s so unique about Kabana?
The high demand and collectibility of Kabana are driven by several key factors:
- Signature Solid Inlay Technique: Unlike traditional flat inlay, Kabana's artisans shape the natural gemstones and shells so they rise above the gold, creating a signature domed "pillow" effect that can be distinguished by touch.
- 100% Made in the USA: Operating out of Albuquerque, New Mexico since its founding in 1975, the brand rejects overseas mass production. Every piece goes through an intricate, labor-intensive hand-sculpting process that supports local artisans and upholds strict quality controls.
- Organic, Nature-Inspired Motifs: Kabana is famous for its use of vibrant organic materials—including opal, onyx, spiny oyster shell, and various mother-of-pearls—shaped into bold, flowing designs like celestial themes, florals, and sea life.
- High Retained Value: Because of the painstaking labor and high-quality materials (such as G-H color, SI1 clarity diamonds) used, vintage and secondhand Kabana pieces hold their value exceptionally well in the secondary marketplace
Will Kabana representatives be there?
Yes—Kabana’s team will be joining us to provide expert insight, styling guidance, and product knowledge.
