Blue Nile to Sell Lightbox Lab-Grown Diamonds.

Image
  Blue Nile has launched an exclusive line of Lightbox lab-grown diamond jewelry, its first foray into synthetics in its 21-year history. De Beers-owned Lightbox seemed like the obvious choice for a partner, given the alignment of the two companies’ perspectives, Blue Nile CEO Sean Kell told  Rapaport News  Thursday. “We’ve been watching the lab-grown diamond market for some time. We think both natural diamonds and lab-grown diamonds have a place in the market,” he noted. “When we first discussed stepping into the lab-grown space, Lightbox was the only brand partner that came to mind.” The online jeweler’s partnership with the lab-grown brand is an effort to offer a greater range of products to its customers. “The launch of the Blue Nile Lightbox collection…now adds even more variety, quality and value for our customers as we head into the new year,” Kell said. “[This] will further expand and transform [our] product assortment to meet the needs of evolving consumers in the jewelry spac

The Brand Fashion Girls Will Buy All Their Jewellery From This Season

  Many of our fashion rituals have fallen by the wayside this year; our collection of high heels has entered semi-retirement, and our fancy dresses have barely left their wardrobe sanctums. There is. However, one sartorial practice that we’ve outright refused to give up, even amid lockdown, and that’s wearing beautiful jewellery. Jewellery has the power to make you feel elevated, instantly pulled together in a few seconds flat. And never before has this been so important. While we may not have gotten to wear the clothing we perhaps would have liked over the last few months; jewellery provided us with some comfort. Even when we found ourselves repeatedly donning our (albeit chic) loungewear, we relied on our jewellery to give our daily wares some much-needed polish. It’s amazing what wearing a pair of chic hoops, or a cherished necklace can do for your self-esteem. As such, we’ve found ourselves looking for new pieces to add to our jewellery repertoire; pieces we know we’ll love and wea

Rio’s ‘special’ diamonds up for tender

Image
  Diversified miner Rio Tinto has announced that a selection of rough diamonds from the company’s Canadian and Australian mines will be tendered to diamond specialists in October and November. Headlining Rio’s forthcoming “specials” tender, which showcases rough diamonds greater than 10.8 ct, is Lot number 1, Diavik Helios, a 74.48 ct Fancy yellow diamond. The Diavik Helios takes its name from the pure yellow sunlight emitted by the mythical Greek God of the Sun. Fancy yellow diamonds are rare finds from the Diavik diamond mine in Canada, which primarily produces high quality white diamonds. “Since the Diavik mine began production in 2003 it has produced on average only five large yellow diamonds each year, in effect less than 0.001% of Diavik’s annual production,” said GM of sales snd marketing for the diamond division,  Patrick Coppens. “The Diavik Helios is an exceptional diamond in terms of its colour saturation and clarity and will be in strong demand from coloured diamond special

Jewelers Predict Next Trends in Jewelry.

Image
  WE ASKED 800-PLUS retail jewelers to take an educated guess at the next breakout category in jewelry. Here are their top 10 responses: 1. By far the largest number of jewelers responded to this question by citing the continuing popularity of laboratory-grown diamonds and  fashion jewelry , specifically mentioning lab-grown diamonds set in metals ranging from silver and 10K gold to platinum. This was also considered the top trend in the 2019 survey. 2. Jewelers believe custom jewelry will continue to drive sales. “During the COVID-19 shutdowns our foot traffic diminished to a crawl, however our custom jewelry items took off,” said one respondent. “We had a customer stationed overseas contact us for a very unique and beautiful piece.” Another said custom clients and not industry trends will drive business: “That’s the thing about custom. Our clients will let us know.” 3. Yellow gold jewelry in any and every style from bold to delicate and layered. Advertisement 4. Earrings of all types

Gem-eration game – antique jewellery gets a modern makeover

Image
  Made to last, handed down through generations and routinely remodelled and repurposed – the jewel is perhaps the original recyclable luxury. From 19th-century Roman “archaeological revival” designs set with coins, cameos or intaglios to Cartier’s spectacular 1920s Egyptomania jewels centred on faience scarabs and amulets, history has long cast its spell. But with recycling and reusing high on today’s social and cultural agenda, it’s hardly surprising that contemporary designers are incorporating more antique or ancient elements into their creations. At the helm of German art-jeweller Hemmerle, Christian Hemmerle and his wife Yasmin scour the world for historic elements to amplify the unmistakable graphic modernity initiated by Christian’s father, Stefan, in the 1990s. They re-fashion elements as varied as Roman micro-mosaics and Chinese ceramic coins, and set 18th- and 19th-century portrait cameos into earrings or tassel pendants. Their Revived Treasures project, meanwhile, features

How To Wear Pearls, According To 2020’s Male Fashion Icons

Image
  Pearl jewelry summons up a range of references depending on who, and from where, you ask. From modern day southern belles to Queen Elizabeth I, pearls invoke an air of formality, having decorated the garbs of royalty and necklines of preppy enthusiasts over time. This moment, however, feels refreshingly different with 2020’s male fashion icons showing us how to wear pearls. With the likes of Harry Styles, A$AP Rocky, and Marc Jacobs clashing the oh-so precious quality of this lustrous treasure against functional pieces like a hooded sweater or graphic tee, the new way to style pearl jewelry is practical for daily wear, and in my opinion, much cooler. Like many women out there, my personal relationship with pearls (and jewelry) began when my mother gave me her pearl necklace and matching studs. The milky opalescent sheen and subtle suggestion of luxury is what drew me to this shiny round object. I loved how it illuminated my skin so I would pair the necklace and earrings with similar

  This festival and wedding season, jewellery is high on priority. It is both an ornament and lucrative investment. You need to make a wise and informed choice. The year’s biggest festival season is on. And this year, the Dasara and Diwali season is even more significant. The pandemic dampened the festive fervour and marriage season over the past six months. Now, with the lockdown a thing of the past, and sentiment looking up, the traditional celebrations are back. Marriages are being celebrated on a larger scale and people have moved on. Traditionally, people look forward to festivals and celebrate each with its rich customs. A festival or marriage is a time to come together, celebrate life and set higher goals. Shopping for jewellery is at the core of festivals and marriages. There is more to ornaments than just the aesthetics. Gold and precious stones signify success. They are aspirations everyone nourishes. Jewellery shopping is about celebrating for a lifetime and more, as the gol

Investors will hoard gold even faster next year, keeping prices high.

Demand for gold from jewellers and central banks will remain sharply lower in 2021 than before coronavirus, but investors will keep prices high by stockpiling record amounts of bullion, Refinitiv Metals Research said. Gold prices are near record highs after surging to $2,072.50 an ounce in August as investors in Europe and North America hoarded an asset they thought would hold its value through the pandemic.But those high prices, along with coronavirus lockdowns, have collapsed sales of jewellery in Asia, previously the biggest driver of the bullion market. Jewellery demand will fall 31% to 1,327 tonnes this year before rising 9% to 1,447 tonnes in 2021, Refinitiv Metals Research director Cameron Alexander said, releasing its latest quarterly report on supply and demand on Friday.Central bank purchases will plunge by half to 312 tonnes this year and recover slightly to 385 tonnes next year, Alexander said. Investors will continue to plug the demand gap, with exchange traded fund
