Published

on

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.

Meta is said to be testing an AI pendant as part of a push to broaden its wearables lineup, according to an internal memo reported by The Information. The move aims to boost engagement with Meta’s AI tools and support monetization via subscriptions and its consumer AI agent, Hatch. Internal testing is slated for next spring, with an ambitious target of 10 million wearable sales in H2.

Meta has reportedly set an ambitious goal of selling 10 million wearable devices in the second half of this year; while its smart glasses have seen stronger early adoption, it’s now burning through money, with Meta’s Reality Labs unit reportedly racking up more than $4 billion in operating losses in its latest quarter on revenue of just $402 million. 

Past AI-jewelry attempts (e.g., the 2024 Friend pendant) sparked conversation more than purchases, raising privacy and utility concerns. Still, if Meta pushes a polished product with clear value and privacy safeguards, designers and brands could see new collaboration and licensing opportunities.
