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.

The Next Generation Metal In Jewelry Collections Yuliya Kutovaya Jewelry

A Rare Fusion Of Eastern Heritage and Cutting-Edge Metallurgy, The Lagan Osmium Collection Redefines Contemporary Jewelry Design

Jewelry designer Yuliya Kutovaya presents the new Lagan Osmium collection, created in collaboration with the Osmium Institute. The collection embodies a contemporary approach to design, merging tradition with innovation.

At the core of the concept lies the aesthetic of traditional Eastern culture combined with the uniqueness of osmium as an innovative jewelry material.

Yuliya Kutovaya Said:

“The idea for the collection originated from the image of the Uzbek lagan — a round, decorated serving plate traditionally placed at the center of the table, around which guests gather. In my imagination, I sought to unite this symbol of Eastern hospitality with a material that represents something truly unique and captivating. Osmium became a metaphor for the central element around which form and ornament are built.”

Crystalline osmium is an innovative platinum group metal — the rarest and densest precious metal in the world. It is highly resistant to external influences, and its natural structure does not require cutting.

The Lagan Osmium pieces are adorned with the refined vegetal “Islimi” pattern — a traditional Eastern ornament commonly found in wood carving. The tactile relief of the jewelry conveys the sensation of natural surfaces, while the contemporary interpretation of the ornament reflects the artistic heritage of Uzbekistan.

The design allows for transformation: the central osmium element can be easily removed.

The collection already has its own story. Last year, Yuliya Kutovaya presented her design at the Osmium Visionary Contest in Germany and subsequently continued her creative collaboration with the Osmium Institute. The collection will be showcased in May at the international exhibition GemGenève in Switzerland.
