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.

Precious Metals Rebound As Fed Rate Fears Ease
Recent Volatility In Technology Stocks Pushed Investors To Seek Shelter In Traditional Safe-Haven Assets
Gold and silver surged on Saturday, June 27, building on recent gains after cooler US inflation data alleviated worries about potential Federal Reserve interest rate hikes. This rebound follows a sharp downturn last week, which had dragged bullion down to its lowest levels since November 2025.
Spot Gold: Advanced 1.6% to settle at $4,089.80 per ounce in New York. Spot Silver: Climbed 2.2% to reach $59.15 per ounce. Other Metals: Platinum and palladium also posted gains.
Beyond the macroeconomic data, broader market anxiety fueled the rally. Recent volatility in technology stocks—largely driven by shifting sentiment around Artificial Intelligence (AI)—pushed investors to seek shelter in traditional safe-haven assets. Despite a 1.7% intraday surge on Friday, gold remains on track for its fourth consecutive weekly decline, marking its longest weekly losing streak since August 2023.
Meanwhile, Indian domestic retail prices held steady on Saturday, maintaining their elevated positions. In Mumbai, prices closely mirrored national trends: 24K Gold: Rs. 1,44,300 per 10 grams.999 Fine Silver: Rs. 2,22,850 per kilogram
