Must -see collections at JCK Las Vegas 2025
One reason JCK Las Vegas remains such an important hub for the international fine jewelry trade is because the show offers a truly diverse range of products, from loose diamonds and gems to tech equipment and supplies. These collections highlighted below offer a taste of JCK’s variety:Haute Couture Brooch Collection by Smiling Rocks, Smiling Rocks guitar brooch and The Periklista Collection by Kouzoupis.
Haute Couture Floral Guitar brooch in 14k yellow gold with 0.98 ct. t.w. lab-grown diamonds and enamel,; Smiling Rocks. Haute Couture Hummingbird brooch in 14k white gold with 4.6 cts. t.w. multicolored lab-grown diamonds. Kouzoupis, a Turkish exhibitor in the Design Collective, is introducing the Periklista collection, which is named for the ancient Greek enamel technique that lends the pieces both their color and style. In Kouzoupis’ version, the ancient technique is made modern by the addition of bright colors and motifs, such as snakes, that capture the 2025 zeitgeist.
Like the European cloisonne method, the Periklista technique involves creating small partitions made of thin metal wires or strips on a metal surface, usually made of gold, and filling them with enamel, stones, or glass. Pioneered during the Mycenaean period (16th–12th century B.C.), Periklista enamel jewels were found in the royal tombs at Mycenae. Refined in subsequent centuries by Greek goldsmiths, the technique later influenced Roman and Byzantine art.

Chow Tai Fook Cashes In On Hong Kong’s Tourism Comeback
As Travelers Return and Gold Prices Wobble, The Jewelry Giant Proves A 52% Profit Jump Is Anyone’s Best Accessory
Hong Kong jewelry giant Chow Tai Fook just wrapped up its fiscal year with fantastic numbers -group revenue climbed 5% to HKD 94.4 billion (about $12.05 billion), while profit didn’t just grow, it basically exploded — up 52% to a record HKD 9.08 billion ($1.15 billion).
So what’s behind the glow-up? Two words: tourists and trust. As travelers flooded back into Hong Kong and Macau, same-store sales there jumped a staggering 17%. Mainland China wasn’t far behind, posting 7% growth even as the company admitted things got a little shaky in the final quarter thanks to gold prices doing their usual rollercoaster routine.
Chow Tai Fook didn’t just get lucky — they’ve been quietly reinventing themselves. Think less “grandma’s jewelry counter,” more curated boutique energy: trading out older locations for spots in upscale malls and leaning hard into branded collections instead of generic gold-by-the-gram sales.
Fixed-price jewelry (the stuff with a set price tag, not market-rate gold) shot up 16%, with the diamond-studded Hua Collection emerging as one of the year’s breakout hits. Gold jewelry sales overall: up a modest 3%.Store count: 5,540 in mainland China, 96 across Hong Kong and Macau
In its own words, the company chalked up the rebound to brand transformation efforts paying off even amid a softer mainland market. At the same time, the tourism recovery did some heavy lifting for Hong Kong and Macau sales. Chow Tai Fook believes fiscal 2027 will be much stronger, with “significantly fewer” store closures, as demand stabilizes.
