Picture it: You're at the Apparel & Accessories Market, ready to visit all the must-see showrooms, see the new collections, and shop the TEMPS. But don't forget to visit the 7th floor of the World Trade Center, where you can round out your buying trip with surprising finds.
The 7th floor is home to Dallas Market Center's permanent Cash & Carry showrooms, meaning you can shop it, buy it, and take it home with you, so fresh merchandise can be on your shelves before you've even unpacked from market.
What all can you find here? Glad you asked:
1. Diamonds (Yes, Real Ones)
Cook Diamonds (WTC 7802)
Dallas has its own Diamond District, and it's right here in the World Trade Center. The showrooms offer engagement rings, loose stones, wedding bands, earrings, necklaces, and more, at cost or sometimes even below cost. Beyond diamonds, the 7th floor sparkles with lustrous pearls, colorful gemstones, and fine gold and silver jewelry.
With the holidays around the corner (and engagement season with them), October is the perfect time to explore. Note: Most visits are by appointment.
2. Everything You Need to Make the Jewelry Yourself
The 7th floor is a treasure trove for makers, too. Showrooms here carry beads by the strand, Bali beads, crystals, and all the findings (clasps, closures, and connectors) that bring a design together. Whether your store puts together DIY kits, hosts make-and-take events, or crafts its own line, you'll find beautiful raw materials in one convenient stop.
3. Fashion Jewelry and Trendy Accessories
Kenze Panne (WTC 7105)
Fashion jewelry is a boutique favorite — it's the perfect add-on, it's giftable, and customers love it. The 7th floor has showrooms full of themed earrings, layering necklaces, stackable bracelets, and statement pieces at great price points, plus the clutches, clips, embroidered baseball caps, and headbands to finish every look.
4. Native American-Made Silver and Turquoise
For Western boutiques and Southwest-inspired stores, this might be the favorite find on the floor. Discover sterling silver jewelry handcrafted by Native American artisans, along with turquoise pieces made for collectors and everyday wearers alike. These are heritage pieces with a story, and your customers will love them.
5. Game Day Gear
Panache Apparel (WTC 7870 + 7822)
October in Texas (and much of the country) means football, but the 7th floor is ready for it all year long. Cash & Carry showrooms carry colorful, trendy game day clothing, graphic tees, and accessories that are perfect for tailgates, watch parties, and cheering on the home team.
And for the customers who just hope both teams have fun? You'll also find plenty of "football," "game day," and "touchdown" gear that appeals to those who haven't pledged their loyalty — and wardrobe — to one specific mascot, but still want to get in on the action.
6. Cosmetics and Beauty
Cosmetics Corner (WTC 7256)
Who doesn't need another lip gloss or eyeshadow palette? These fun little add-ons by the register are a quick way to plump up a sale, and cosmetics are always in style for gifting occasions — and stocking stuffer season.
7. Western Style
Round out your market buys with Western-inspired accessories that range from boots and bolos to hats, hand-tooled leather belts and handbags, and silk twilly scarves. Happy shopping!
The October Apparel & Accessories Market is Oct. 20–23, 2026.
