US jewellery, watches sales up by 4.4 per cent year-on-year
Sales of watches and jewelry in the US showed further signs of growth in December 2024, up 4.4 per cent year-on-year, according the latest figures from the US Department of Commerce. But there’s been a marked slowdown since the 10 per cent increases of last September and October.
November saw sales up by just 3.0 per cent, revised down from 5.8 per cent based on actual through-the-till transactions rather than estimates. October has been revised up from 9.7 per cent to 10.0 per cent.
The average monthly year-on-year growth for the full year is 5.4 per cent, so December was little below par. Having said that, it was the 15th consecutive month of growth after a long period (the end of 2022 and much of 2023) of falling sales.

Mohar Fine Jewels x Gemfields : From Florals To Geometry, Coloured Gemstones Take New Forms
The Latest Collection Pairs Gemfields’ Zambian Emeralds and Mozambican Rubies With Mohar Fine Jewels’ Craftsmanship Across Bold, Floral and Contemporary Designs.Â
With a three-generation legacy in fine jewellery, Mohar Fine Jewels has built its expertise around natural gemstones, with emeralds being a particular focus for the family. The latest additions to the partnership with Gemfields bring together Zambian emeralds and Mozambican rubies across individual designs that play with floral forms, geometric silhouettes and statement proportions.




The new pieces look at coloured gemstone jewellery through a more expressive lens, with the gemstones often taking centre stage rather than being treated as accents. The Ruby Droplet Earrings, for instance, use 33.69cts of Gemfields Mozambican rubies with 4.78cts of diamonds, creating a bold red statement in 18k gold. On the emerald side, the Emerald and Diamond Blooming Studs bring together 18.30cts of Gemfields Zambian emeralds with 4.07cts of diamonds, translating the idea of a bloom into a more defined, sculptural silhouette.


The Emerald and Diamond Earrings make a statement through scale, featuring 51.59cts of Zambian emeralds alongside 8.96cts of diamonds. A more structured take comes through in the Emerald and Diamond Studs, which pair 7.36cts of Zambian emeralds with 0.965cts of diamonds. Meanwhile, the Emerald and Yellow Diamond Studs introduce a contrasting play of colour, centred around a 25.6ct Zambian emerald with 3.09cts of diamonds. The Ruby Blossom Necklace takes the floral inspiration in another direction, using a blooming silhouette to frame the deep red of Mozambican rubies.
Across the pieces, the designs move between statement and more wearable silhouettes, making coloured gemstones the defining element for occasion dressing while bringing together Mohar Fine Jewels’ craftsmanship and Gemfields’ Zambian emeralds and Mozambican rubies.
