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.

US Midterm Elections: Gold, Silver Prices Surge As Democrats Take Control Of Congress

Democratic Win In Congress Creates Financial Support For Gold Because It Puts Downward Pressure On The U.S. Dollar and Interest Rates

Published

​Gold and silver prices jumped on Wednesday as election results pointed to major victories for the Democratic Party in the U.S. midterm elections.

​This continues a strong trend from 2025, a year in which gold prices rose by 66% and silver prices surged by 135%.

​Gold: Rose 3.4% to reach $4,073 per ounce.

​Silver: Rose 5.1% to reach $52.28 per ounce.

​The main driver was the outcome of the U.S. midterm elections. As votes were counted, projections showed that Democrats won control of the House of Representatives and took over several state governor positions.

​Here is how other major financial markets reacted to the news:

​U.S. Stocks: Rose as political uncertainty decreased.

​U.S. Dollar: Fell by about 0.3%.

​Treasury Yields (Interest Rates): Moved lower.

​Oil Prices: Went down.

Democratic win in Congress creates financial support for gold because it puts downward pressure on the U.S. dollar and interest rates.

A divided government often leads to political arguments over government budgets, creating economic uncertainty. At the same time, global issues like the war involving Iran and a weaker U.S. dollar are competing against the Federal Reserve’s effort to raise interest rates.

​In short, less government spending usually means lower long-term interest rates and a weaker dollar, which makes precious metals like gold and silver more attractive to investors.
