Interesting read from WatchPro this week — the new consumer report says watch brands need to start selling calm, not just watches. Honestly, after 21 years in this trade, that tracks with what I see at the bench and on the show floor: people aren't just buying a movement, they're buying a moment of steadiness in a noisy world. It's the same reason a client will hold a stone for a full minute before they say a word — they're not checking the cut, they're checking how it makes them feel.

WGSN’s Future Consumer 2028 study points to a growing appetite for tactile, meaningful products in a clear opportunity for the watch industry.

Moonstone's having its moment right now, and honestly, it's about time. That soft blue glow moving across the stone (adularescence, if you want the proper term) is one of the first things I ever fell in love with when I started learning gemmology years ago. JCK just rounded up ten gorgeous contemporary moonstone pieces and it's a lovely reminder of why this stone keeps pulling people back in.

But after seeing so many silvery-white moonstones all over Las Vegas Jewelry Week, we’re thinking Pantone was onto something. “To me, it is one of the most

Every September I start looking forward to this one — the Istanbul Jewelry Show is back for its 60th edition, and it's one of the top five jewellery exhibitions on the planet. 30 September to 3 October, right in the heart of the Grand Bazaar's big brother city. Twenty-one years in this trade and I still get the same buzz walking those aisles as I did on my first Thailand market run.

IJS Istanbul Jewelry Show, where the jewelry sector network makes business deals, and is inspired under one roof, will take place on 30 September - 03 October 2026

Been in and out of Hong Kong's gem district plenty over the years, and stories like this one out of TSL are a good reminder of why trust is everything in our trade. A former procurement manager has been accused of stealing diamonds straight from suppliers — the kind of breach that damages relationships built over decades in an industry that still runs largely on a handshake and a good name. It's exactly why I'm so careful about who I buy from and who I recommend to you.

A former procurement manager at Hong Kong jeweler TSL has pleaded guilty to stealing diamonds obtained from suppliers for his own personal gain.

Every September I still get a small buzz about Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair — it's where I cut my teeth learning the coloured stone trade all those years ago. The 74th edition runs 8-12 September 2026 with a GIA lab on site, so you get serious sapphires, spinels and rubies alongside proper grading under one roof. If you've ever wondered how I source the stones I bring back for you, this is a big part of the answer.

Join us at the Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair to explore a diverse range of gemstones, jewelry and industry solutions from leading Thai and international suppliers. Discover tools, components, and machinery for the trade, and attend GIA seminars on pearls and colored stone origin determination.

Every September I still get that pull to be in Hong Kong for the Jewellery & Gem WORLD show — it's the one week where the entire trade seems to land in one city at once. This year it runs 14-20 September, and after 21 years going to markets across Thailand and beyond, I can tell you it's the best place on earth to see what's really moving in gems and jewellery. If you're in the trade, it's worth the trip.

I've spent years around independent watchmakers, and it's always exciting when a small studio does something genuinely different. Kiwame Tokyo's new Yane uses the Miyota 6T27 movement and is limited to just 400 pieces — proper independent Japanese watchmaking, not mass production. Worth a look if you appreciate horology with a real story behind it.

Japanese microbrand Kiwame Tokyo moves away from its Calatrava style, with the new Yane, inspired by traditional Japanese rooftops.

Spent a fair bit of time studying watches on wrists at trade events like Hodinkee's Happy Hour, and it's always a masterclass — an Omega Speedmaster next to a Lange 1, a Rolex Day-Date, even a vintage Tiffany-signed Rolex in the mix. Watch spotting like this is horology's version of what I love doing with gemstones: reading the story a piece carries just by looking closely at it. Different houses, different philosophies, all worth understanding if you care about craftsmanship the way I do.

A Monday night for the books.

I've spent years studying how gemstones move through history and design, so seeing Sabyasachi's new high jewellery collection with the Met land on JCK stopped me in my tracks. Byzantine art has this weight and reverence to it that feels miles apart from most modern "high jewellery" trend pieces, and it's brilliant to see a designer actually root a collection in that history rather than just borrowing the aesthetic. This is the kind of collaboration that reminds you jewellery has always been about telling a bigger story.

Sabyasachi and the Metropolitan Museum of Art announced their collaboration. Its first release, Byzantine-derived high jewelry, will debut at NYFW.

One of my favourite things about this industry is the sheer creativity of independent watchmakers - give them a blank canvas and a festival like FounderFest and you get pieces that would never survive a boardroom committee. Hodinkee just covered seven special editions from the show, and after 21 years around watch and jewellery trade fairs myself, I can tell you this is exactly where the interesting stuff happens - not in the big glossy booths, but the small independent ones where someone's actually obsessed with what they're making.

Seven independent brands, three cities, and one new festival focused on a weekend of watches. We went hands on with every new piece before the doors open.
