Published

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.

Gemfields Group has announced that Chief Executive Officer Sean Gilbertson will step down from his position by mutual agreement on 15 July 2026, marking the end of an eight-year tenure at the helm of the coloured gemstone producer. The company has appointed David Lovett as interim CEO, while he continues to oversee the finance function, ensuring leadership continuity during the transition period.

Having assumed the CEO role on 31 March 2018, Gilbertson has played a defining role in shaping Gemfields’ strategic direction, strengthening its global reputation in responsibly sourced coloured gemstones, and advancing the company’s initiatives in sustainability, transparency, and community development. Under his leadership, Gemfields reinforced its position in the emerald and ruby sectors, while promoting greater traceability and ethical standards across the wider gemstone industry.

The leadership change comes at a pivotal moment for the Group. In recent months, Gemfields has been contending with a combination of operational and market headwinds, including production constraints, softer market conditions in certain categories, and pressures on cash flow.
