Discover curated collections from the world’s leading dealers, November 21-24th, at New York’s Metropolitan Pavilion.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Vintage is experiencing a renaissance, particularly among Gen Z and Millennial consumers, who are embracing it as both an aesthetic and a lifestyle. These generations are gravitating toward retro fashion and jewelry, viewing it as more than a trend—but rather a conscious choice for sustainability, individuality, and a connection to the past. The NYC Autumn Jewelry & Object Show (NYCJAOS) is the destination for antique and vintage style this fall. Hosted November 21-24th at the Metropolitan Pavilion, and founded by KIL Promotions, the event is ushering in the next wave of collectors.

This is more than luxury browsing, it is about discovering items with a backstory and creating new chapters for them in one’s own life.

With growing awareness of the environmental impact of fast fashion and mass production, younger shoppers are seeking out second-hand, upcycled, and vintage items as responsible alternatives. Clothing of Y2K and earlier decades have become a staple of street style and social media, with influencers showcasing thrifted treasures, giving rise to the popularity of “luxury thrifting.” This has created a new appreciation for timeless pieces that offer quality, craftsmanship, and a unique story. For these consumers, it is about finding items that hold meaning, while making a personal statement. The producer of NYCJAOS leans into these ideals. “Many are embracing antique finds as cool, sustainable, and reflective of their personal journeys,” says Konstantinos I. Leoussis, founder of KIL Promotions. “This is more than luxury browsing, it is about discovering items with a backstory and creating new chapters for them in one’s own life.”

In jewelry, the trend is pronounced as younger buyers discover the allure of estate. Gen Z and Millennials are drawn to the history embedded in jewelry, favoring heirloom-quality items that stand the test of time. Historied rings, watches, and brooches have become increasingly popular not just as accessories but as meaningful, wearable art that reflects one’s personal style. This shift is also driven by a preference for eco-consciousness, with consumers recognizing that buying vintage contributes to a circular economy, reducing waste, and limiting the demand for newly mined materials.

For others, vintage jewelry holds the allure of talismans, symbols, and motifs that carry meaning for generations, allowing wearers to indulge in designs that transcend fashion. From protective symbols like the evil eye to the bold geometry of Art Deco pieces, attendees are drawn to the storytelling embedded in each jewel. At the event, some designers of today embrace antique and vintage inspiration, reinterpreting classic elements with a modern twist. The NYC Autumn Jewelry and Object Show highlights not only vintage and antique treasures, but curates contemporary designers who reflect a nostalgic appeal, offering a shopping experience where past and present collide.

Beyond fashion and jewelry, NYCJAOS offers a wide range of treasures that speak to a lifestyle rooted in craftsmanship, and a love for the timeless. From handbags, scarves, and watches to fine silverware, art objects, and rare collectibles, the event is a haven for those who embrace the finer things in life. The selection reflects the evolution of a passing trend to a full-fledged lifestyle choice. Incorporating meaningful, historical pieces into daily life is elevating— whether with a beautifully preserved silk scarf, elegant watch, mid-century modern silver tea set, or an original work of art from a bygone era.

Show vendors ensure there is something for everyone, no matter what one is drawn to. Attendees can explore a vast array of beautiful curiosities, each with a story to tell, and access to world-class dealers who are passionate about sharing their expertise. Visit to learn about the provenance and significance of each curated object, enriching one’s personal shopping experience. The NYC Autumn Jewelry and Object Show has a relaxed, intimate atmosphere, making it the destination for those seeking authenticity while shopping.

Beyond fashion and jewelry, vintage is a lifestyle choice, influencing everything from home décor to entertainment. In culture, the appeal of vinyl records, pre-used furniture, and the resurgence of Polaroid cameras all point to a broader cultural embrace of nostalgia. This lifestyle shift reflects a rejection of the disposable culture of the past few decades in favor of authenticity, slow living, and mindful consumption. Vintage is no longer a trend—it is a movement that embodies a thoughtful, intentional approach to style and living. Millennials and Gen Z are leading the way in redefining luxury, valuing history, sustainability, and individuality over fast fashion and mass production, and NYCJAOS is here for it.

The NYC Autumn Jewelry & Object Show will be held at the Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street. The show will commence with a VIP early viewing party the evening of Thursday, November 21st, and will continue from Friday November 22nd through Sunday November 24th. Proceeds from the VIP Viewing Party directly fund jewelry design scholarships, empowering up-and-coming designers by supporting their education and creative development in the industry.

From China Mobile’s Call Upgrade to the Commercial Launch of “Calling + AI” by Leading Operators: AI Is Reshaping the Value of Native Calling

Published

on

July 25, 2026

By

BEIJING, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — On June 15, 2026, China Mobile announced a comprehensive upgrade to its traditional calling services, ushering in a next-generation calling experience defined by HD, intelligence, and security. This milestone not only marks a major leap in telecommunication innovation but also reflects a global, inevitable shift: the transformation of basic communication into intelligent, inclusive services.

Breaking Experience Barriers and Redefining the Paradigm of Basic Calling

Overcoming the limitations of traditional, voice-only interactions, China Mobile has leveraged its mature VoLTE/VoNR network foundation to deeply integrate AI models with HD audio and video capabilities. Without requiring users to change their phones or SIM cards, seven core AI functions are now seamlessly embedded into the native dialer interface.

These upgrades include Live Captions bridge communication gaps for the elderly and hearing-impaired; HD video calls and AI noise reduction create a crystal-clear, immersive calling experience; AI anti-fraud intercepts high-risk calls in real time to safeguard users’ assets. Furthermore, the introduction of Data Channel (DC) technology and visual call menus transforms standard calls into agile, interactive service windows, enabling multi-party collaboration and seamless business transactions directly within the call. Through this initiative, China Mobile has successfully evolved traditional calls from a mere voice pipeline into a secure, integrated information hub.

“Calling + AI” Becomes a Strategic Consensus Among Global Leading Operators

From a global perspective, China Mobile’s call upgrade is not an isolated milestone, but a microcosm of the global telecommunications industry’s broader transformation. Throughout 2026, major operators worldwide are accelerating the commercial deployment of “Calling + AI” solutions:

Deutsche Telekom launched Magenta AI, leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance calling across all scenarios;T-Mobile US introduced a network-side, real-time translation service covering over 80 languages, effectively breaking down cross-border communication barriers;Saudi stc rolled out English-Arabic bilingual simultaneous interpretation, which has now entered large-scale commercial trials;South Korea’s LG U+ launched its ixi-O intelligent calling assistant, shifting the user experience from passive responses to proactive smart interactions and earning three prestigious GLOMO industry awards.

The synchronized efforts of these global leaders confirm that basic calling services have officially entered a new era of AI integration. Deeply empowered by artificial intelligence, “Calling + AI” has become the definitive blueprint for the intelligent transformation of the global telecommunications industry. As operators continue to refine these native capabilities, the traditional voice network is poised to reclaim its position as the most secure, ubiquitous, and valuable entry point in the AI era.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — NAVER, Brookfield and NVIDIA announced an expansion of Korea’s sovereign AI factory infrastructure. New investments will increase the initial NVIDIA DSX™ AI factory deployment from 55 megawatts to 200 megawatts.

Announced during Korea President Jae Myung Lee’s AI Summit visit to San Francisco, the planned 200-megawatt expansion will be built with the NVIDIA DSX platform at NAVER’s GAK Sejong hyperscale data center in Sejong, South Korea. The expanded infrastructure will provide Korea- and U.S.- based AI innovators with access to production-scale AI compute for building next-generation models, agents and AI-powered services.

Under the terms of the agreements, Brookfield will fund up to $9 billion as the exclusive capital partner, NVIDIA will invest $1 billion and NAVER will fund the remaining amount to finance the $10 billion project.

This builds on NAVER’s June announcement to extend its GAK Sejong data center with NVIDIA DSX, with a long-term path to gigawatt-scale sovereign AI infrastructure serving Korea’s enterprises, industries, government organizations and global AI cloud customers. Combining Brookfield’s capital with NVIDIA’s computing platform, the investment supports NAVER’s AI factory deployment.

“NVIDIA’s strategic investment and our infrastructure supply agreement with Brookfield have propelled NAVER’s vision for the AI Factory business into a robust execution phase,” said Haejin Lee, Founder and Chairman of NAVER. “Leveraging the solid partnerships with our global partners, we will drive technological innovation, foster a sovereign AI ecosystem, and spearhead efforts to strengthen South Korea’s AI competitiveness.” 

AI Factory Expansion and Open Model Collaboration to Fuel AI Innovators

NAVER, as an NVIDIA Cloud Partner, provides deep expertise in operating hyperscale infrastructure powered by the full-stack NVIDIA AI platform. The 200-megawatt AI factory, featuring NVIDIA Vera Rubin and Blackwell platforms, will establish a dedicated resource pool for emerging AI companies, providing the compute, software and support needed to develop and deploy competitive AI models and applications at scale.

This expanded infrastructure also builds on NAVER and NVIDIA’s collaboration on open model development for agentic and physical AI. NAVER is advancing its HyperCLOVA X models to be based on NVIDIA Nemotron™ 3 Ultra open models with its proprietary data and training expertise. NAVER is also the first Korean company to join the NVIDIA Nemotron Coalition, contributing to open model development across pretraining, post-training and reinforcement learning.

NAVER plans to launch an AI agent platform in Korea in the second half of the year, powered by NVIDIA Agent Toolkit software including NVIDIA NemoClaw™ blueprints. NAVER is also developing a Seoul World Model using proprietary urban street-view and spatial modeling data, built on NVIDIA Cosmos™ world foundation models.
