SICIS Jewels launches signature micromosaic jewellery collection at maison House of Rose
A breathtaking fusion of ancient Roman artistry and modern luxury has arrived in India. SICIS Jewels, the esteemed Italian house revered for its mastery of micromosaic, officially launched its high jewellery collection in Mumbai, hosted by the distinguished House of Rose at its iconic Ballard Estate location.
This isn’t merely a jewellery exhibition; it’s a presentation of wearable masterpieces. The showcase unveiled an exclusive range of high jewellery, fine jewellery, and exquisite timepieces. Every single piece is a testament to meticulous handcraftsmanship, brought to life by SICIS’s master mosaicists. They flawlessly weave together time-honored techniques, unparalleled precision, and a bold, contemporary aesthetic.
The foundation for this significant debut was laid with the creation of The SICIS Bar within The House of Rose—an intimate salon graced by a stunning, bespoke SICIS mosaic backdrop. This existing artistic connection provided the perfect platform for the natural evolution into SICIS’s first-ever jewellery presentation on Indian soil. While their jewellery is new to the market, SICIS is no stranger to India, having previously executed large-scale architectural and interior mosaic installations across the country.
During the launch, Gioia Placuzzi, Creative Director of SICIS, and Biren Vaidya, Managing Director of The House of Rose, emphasized their unified vision. Placuzzi saw India as a sophisticated market poised to embrace the intricate, labor-intensive micromosaic craft. Vaidya highlighted that this collaboration introduces a genuine, elevated art form to Indian collectors—a clientele increasingly seeking pieces valued for their unique creativity and intellectual property beyond just their material worth.
The essence of a SICIS jewel lies in its history. Rooted in a 2,000-year-old Roman tradition, these pieces are constructed from thousands of miniature, hand-cut glass fragments (tesserae). These minuscule elements are painstakingly fused with precious stones, resulting in sculptural, painterly works, often taking their vibrant inspiration from the natural world. The commitment to preservation of technique, material integrity, and artistic heritage is absolute, with every jewel meticulously created in Italy.
DMCC – the leading international business district that drives the flow of global trade through Dubai – officially launched DMCC FinX today during the 13th Dubai Precious Metals Conference (DPMC) at Atlantis The Palm. Bringing together more than 1,000 senior industry figures, the conference convened global leaders from precious metals, finance, policy and technology to examine the forces reshaping the future of the sector.
Held under the theme “The Future of Precious Metals: Tariffs, Tokenisation and Trade Flows,” DPMC 2025 explored the rapid transformation of global commodities markets as geopolitical realignment, emerging technologies and reconfigured trade corridors redefine how value moves worldwide. Discussions centred on the convergence of precious metals, digital assets and finance; the rise of tokenisation; and Dubai’s accelerating role as a centre of trust, transparency and innovation for the global gold and precious metals industry.
Keynote speeches were delivered by H.E. Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade, Ruth Crowell, Chief Executive of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and global financial commentator Grant Williams. The conference featured senior representatives from leading exchanges, refineries, bullion banks and regulatory bodies, including the World Gold Council, the Shanghai Gold Exchange, CME Group and the UAE Ministry of Economy. Panel sessions explored the realignment of global trade flows, the harmonisation of international standards, responsible sourcing in artisanal mining and the evolving role of bullion banks in a multipolar economy.
One of the headline announcements of the day was the formal launch of DMCC FinX – a strategic expansion designed to connect capital market participants, trade finance professionals and fintech innovators with DMCC’s rapidly growing community of more than 26,000 companies. Built on DMCC’s established financial and commodities infrastructure – including the Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX), its central counterparty and clearinghouse the Dubai Commodities Clearing Corporation (DCCC), DMCC Crypto Centre, DMCC Tradeflow platform, and key industry partnerships with regulatory players such as the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) – DMCC FinX will bridge real-world commerce, capital markets and digital assets, reinforcing Dubai’s position as a global hub where finance and trade intersect
