Secret watches are timepieces disguised as high jewelry pieces. During the 1930s, 40s, and 50s, women wore secret watches to conform to societal expectations, as openly checking the time was deemed inappropriate.

Tiffany & Co. introduced its latest Blue Book Fall collection, Tiffany Céleste 2024, in China on October 18 at an exclusive event in the capital, Beijing. The newly opened Mandarin Oriental Qianmen hotel, inspired by Beijing’s traditional hutong architecture, provided a glamorous backdrop for showcasing the new high-jewelry pieces, conjuring an evocative blend of East and West. Located just a short distance from where Tiffany made its first foray into the Chinese market in 2001, at The Peninsula Beijing, the event underscores the jeweler’s deepening emotional connection to the Chinese market. Several motifs in the collection, such as the phoenix and peacock designs, resonate deeply with Chinese culture, enhancing their appeal to luxury buyers.

Once, it was the height of fashion to wear matching sets of jewelry (much like fashion's nod to the matching two-piece outfits that seem to be all over our Instagram feeds these days). A parure (taken from the French verb parer, meaning to adorn) is a set of jewelry usually consisting of a necklace, pair of earrings, bracelet, and brooch, while a demi-parure set was usually two more pieces, like a necklace and pair of earrings—the more informal approach, if you will. Fast forward to 2024, and we are seeing a solid comeback of these demi-parure sets, from several high jewelry maisons. David Morris, Tiffany & Co., and Pomellato all released striking necklace and earring pairings in their recent high jewelry collections, but these aren't stuffy or fussy—rather, they are fresh, colorful, and, dare we say, avant-garde. Pomellato's collection was an ode to the dualism of the city in which the brand is based, and the Spinelli du Fuoco necklace and earrings perfectly illustrate this cool take on sets.

The first rule of jewelry cleaning is to know the specific materials of your jewelry so you can use the recommended cleaning method. The safest way to clean jewelry is with a gentle soap and water. However, liquids should not be used with porous gemstones such as turquoise because they will absorb liquids and discolor stones.

Artist Jake Chapman and jeweler William Welstead have collaborated on a capsule jewelry collection of dinosaur pendants, called “Explaining Christians to Dinosaurs,” to be introduced next month at Dover Street Market in London. The two men had long discussed working together on a project and the jewelry collaboration was inspired by one of Chapman’s pieces now in Welstead’s collection: a six-inch-high laser-cut steel sculpture of a dinosaur from the limited edition series “Hell 65 Million Years BC.” Chapman resisted confirming that his series was a miniature version of the three large dinosaurs, made of pieces of weathered steel as much as 26 feet long, in the Chapman Brothers’ work “The Meek Shall Inherit the Earth, but Not the Mineral Rights,” unveiled in the courtyard of the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 2007. Nor would he categorize the dinosaurs, although their angular, two-dimensional shapes appear to be playful interpretations of a tyrannosaurus, a stegosaurus, and a triceratops. Dinosaurs, said Chapman, are a reminder of mankind’s precarious position on earth. .

Jewelry has long served as a powerful medium for self-expression, acting as a visual window into one’s identity. This symbolic significance is why luxury brands craft pieces that go beyond mere decoration—they create meaningful works of art that reflect individuality, status, and personal values.

Ombré colors, couture-inspired techniques and studies in fluidity are in the spotlight at Piaget. The brand, which is celebrating its 150th anniversary, presented some jewels from its Essence of Extraleganza collection at Paris Couture Week — and it was a portmanteau of extravagance and elegance. Rather than design jewels to a specific theme, Stéphanie Sivrière, the brand’s creative director of jewelry and watches, said she was inspired by the idea of “everyday couture” and using traditional goldsmithing techniques to produce metal mesh as fluid as the fabrics and trims used in high fashion. “When we use gold, it’s never smooth,” Ms. Sivrière said. “It’s a material that always has character: it’s hammered, braided, woven.” The 40 Piaget jewels shown in Paris represented about half of the entire 90-piece collection, which is to be unveiled in Seoul later this year.

The diamond grading industry is populated by gemological laboratories that are virtually indistinguishable. In this “alphabet soup” of grading labs, diamonds are graded by hand and eye – an ultimately subjective assessment. While this continues to be standard practice for all laboratories, GSI has enhanced this process by adding advanced technology and intelligent software. We at GSI have a vision: to create a modern, state-of-the-art diamond grading lab that takes advantage of the latest breakthroughs in diamond grading. To do this, we reengineered the diamond grading process and founded it on foolproof cutting-edge technology and automation. The result is diamonds that are graded to the highest standards.
