The company has also joined the NAJ’s Created in the UK scheme, which recognises jewellers committed to British design and craftsmanship.

Founder and designer Lily Gabriella Elia launched the brand in 2015 after working in the jewellery department at Christie’s in Geneva. 

A graduate in fine arts from Brandeis University in Boston, she later qualified as a gemologist at the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) in New York.

Born in Rio de Janeiro and raised in Monaco, Gabriella draws on a multicultural background and a family history steeped in art and jewellery collecting. She cites her grandmother’s jewellery collection as a formative influence.

Her designs are noted for their “sculptural forms and bold use” of colour. The Spira ring, a coiled gold piece, has become her signature.

In 2019, Gabriella collaborated with Sotheby’s Diamonds on a collection that reinterpreted high jewellery in her “graphic, modernist style”.

Lily Gabriella said: “These accreditations are more than just symbols: they reaffirm our unwavering promise to craft jewellery that is as meaningful as it is beautifully made, pieces designed to be cherished for generations.”

The limited edition piece combines high-end cosmetics with jewellery design. 

The case, designed as a decorative object, is set with precious stones and inspired by a spring garden. 

Castellane took cues from nature and Dior’s jewellery collections. A gold chain with Mimirose motifs allows it to be worn as a necklace.

The design involved “expert” goldsmithing and materials include Paraiba tourmalines, turquoises and opals, with hand-applied lacquer finishes.

Additionally, the lipstick formula is enriched with red hibiscus extract, 24-karat gold micro-particles and jojoba oil, and is available in 12 shades.

Dior said the launch represents “a convergence of colour, craftsmanship and innovation”, drawing on its heritage in jewellery and beauty.

The company will present a selection of its latest stock, including an exquisite range of large, lustrous nucleated cultured pearl strands that promise to captivate.

Large nucleated cultured pearls are carefully cultivated over several years, resulting in pieces with not only impressive size but also a rich, lustrous quality. They offer a rare combination of size, surface quality and natural colour.

In addition to launching new collections, Raw Pearls will be celebrating the continued popularity of baroque pearls with an exclusive show-only promotion.

Attendees will also have access to Raw Pearls’ brochure, where the full range can be explored in detail. The brochure features to-scale images of many products, allowing customers to get a real feel for the pieces.

It also showcases carefully matched items, helping clients to build cohesive, elegant pearl collections with ease.

Raw Pearls continues to build on its success, following recognition as ‘Supplier of the Year’ at the 2023 UK Jewellery Awards.

The family-owned jeweller, which has traded for over 185 years, said the pieces aim to evoke “serene glamour and sun-drenched elegance”.

Among the featured gemstones are Sri Lankan sapphires, described by Laings as a hallmark of the island’s two-millennia history of gemstone production. 

Burmese rubies from Myanmar’s Mogok Valley are also included, celebrated for their deep red colour and association with regal symbolism.

The collection also features other gemstones such as yellow diamonds, Zambian emeralds and tanzanites. 

The collection includes rings, bracelets and necklaces, available in Laings showrooms and online.

Marketing manager Kirsten Woods said: “Gemstones of Paradise is a journey into the lush, untamed tropics, a celebration of the vibrant landscapes and rich cultures from which each of our jewellery pieces originates.

“This collection invites you to explore a world where beauty is wild, colour is sacred, and every jewel is a fragment of paradise, captured in timeless form.”

Framed as a “jewellery manifesto”, the collection draws on three decades of the Milanese house’s history, from chain-focused 1970s design to the sculptural 1980s and the chromatic explorations of the 1990s.

Each piece is crafted by master artisans at Casa Pomellato in Milan, combining traditional goldsmithing with modern materials and forms.

Highlights include the ‘Blue Chain Cascade’, which pairs sinuous diamond-set chains with a 22.23-carat Ceylon sapphire, and the transformable ‘Precious Spring Ring’, designed to be worn as a belt, bracelet or pendant.

In the 1980s-inspired line, the ‘Asimmetrico Tanzanite’ necklace showcases a 55.96-carat irregular-cut tanzanite and took 700 hours to complete. The ‘Rivière Zigzag’ necklace appears in two versions, featuring rubellites or green tourmalines arranged asymmetrically.

The 1990s-themed ‘Lagoon Bavarole’ suite uses 47 irregular-cut green tourmalines, while the ‘Marvelous Griffe’ series includes 10 pairs of rose gold earrings with cabochon-cut gems, such as aquamarines, peridots and garnets.

The ‘Iconica Extreme’ parure includes a rose gold chain necklace and bracelet set with baguette and brilliant-cut diamonds, and a ring with a 12.27-carat emerald.

The collection’s emphasis on creative freedom, technical innovation and bold use of colour reflects Pomellato’s commitment to redefining luxury through contemporary design.

The institute will also continue to accept laboratory-grown diamonds for evaluation and identification.

The revised GIA description system for laboratory-grown diamonds will confirm that the submitted item is a laboratory-grown diamond and whether it falls into one of two categories, ‘premium’ or ‘standard.’ 

The categories will be defined by a combination of metrics related to colour, clarity and finish. 

If the man-made diamond fails to achieve the minimum standard for quality, it will not receive a designation from GIA. 

Until the revised descriptive system for laboratory-grown diamonds is finalised, the current GIA services for laboratory-grown diamonds will continue to be available.   

GIA developed the universally accepted colour and clarity scales for natural diamonds in the 1940s to clearly communicate their characteristics and reduce consumer confusion. 

According to GIA, the change to how it describes the quality of laboratory-grown diamonds will help consumers understand the important differences in the two products’ origin, “ensuring their confidence and enabling them to make informed and educated purchase decisions”.

 Pricing and submission guidelines for the revised GIA service for laboratory-grown diamonds are in development and will be announced late in the third quarter. 

However, existing GIA reports for laboratory-grown diamonds remain valid.

Tom Moses, GIA executive vice president and chief laboratory and research officer, said: “Similar to other man-made gem materials, we anticipate the continued acceptance and popularity of laboratory-grown diamonds. 

“More than 95% of laboratory-grown diamonds entering the market fall into a very narrow range of colour and clarity. Because of that, it is no longer relevant for GIA to describe man-made diamonds using the nomenclature created for the continuum of color and clarity of natural diamonds.” 

Found in Mozambique, Africa over 25 years ago, the 7,500-carat rough kunzite showcases “exceptional” size, clarity and colour, making it a rare gem. 

The gemstone boasts purple to deep lilac hues, and was named in honour of Dr. George Frederick Kunz, Tiffany and Co.’s first chief gemologist. 

A self-taught mineralogist and a renowned authority on coloured gemstones, Dr. Kunz helped establish Tiffany and Co. as the “preeminent source for the rarest and most extraordinary jewels”. 

Alongside morganite, tanzanite and tsavorite, it is one of the house’s “legacy gemstones” that the jeweller introduced to the world throughout the 20th Century. 

The acquisition marks a significant milestone in Tiffany and Co.’s heritage of exceptional gemstones—one that began in 1877 with Charles Lewis Tiffany’s acquisition of the Tiffany Diamond. 

These one-of-a-kind custom-cut creations will celebrate the 60th anniversary of Jean Schlumberger’s bird motif that Tiffany and Co. introduced in 1965.

Designed by Jean Schlumberger in 1965, Bird on a Rock is inspired by a cockatoo, and the brooch reflects Schlumberger’s fascination with nature and movement. 

It has showcased coloured gemstones, most notably the Tiffany Diamond in 1995. Known for its craftsmanship, each piece is meticulously hand set by Tiffany artisans using carefully curated gemstones.

Some distinguished clients will have the unique opportunity to work with Tiffany’s chief gemologist to collaborate on their custom-cut kunzite.

Victoria Wirth Reynolds, chief gemologist and vice president of High Jewellery Diamond and Gemstone Acquisition at Tiffany & Co., said: “This kunzite of over 7,500 carats marks a significant moment in Tiffany’s legacy of exceptional gemstones. Named in honor of Tiffany’s first chief gemologist in 1902, this crystal’s exceptional size, clarity and colour are rare testaments to Mother Nature’s artistry.

“We are honored to share this incredible gemstone with the world; by cutting 10 unique stones from the rough, it will be the perfect celebration to honor the 60th anniversary of the iconic Bird on a Rock.”

Launching during the week of Chelsea in Bloom, the Petals collection brings McDonough’s love for flowers to life with an array of coloured gemstones set in white and yellow gold. 

The collection includes  bracelets with floral pendants, a variety of earrings including floral studs to drop earrings and necklaces with coloured flower pendants. 

A new style for the brand – Toi et Moi rings are also available alongside wrap-around floral designs, all crafted in Kiki’s “signature” colours.

Founded in London by fifth-generation jeweller McDonough, the eponymous fine jewellery brand is renowned for showcasing vibrant gemstones in wearable designs. 

McDonough said: “I have long been inspired by the vibrant atmosphere in Chelsea around the time of the Flower Show, with joyous memories of the area coming alive and bursting with colour.

“Each piece  in this collection radiates the bright, fresh energy of the season, offering designs that capture the beauty and joy of flowers in full bloom in a lasting form.”

Inspired by the compass rose in Dior’s childhood home in Granville, the new additions include a Tribale-inspired ring and a celestial reversible medallion necklace, blending sun and moon motifs with mother-of-pearl and onyx.

Furthermore, the collection includes charms, featuring lilies of the valley, roses, and even a bee in flight. Alongside this there is a plastron necklace that layers the collection’s motifs with hidden gemstone details.

The Étoile des Vents range, includes diamond-studded talismans on ear cuffs and necklaces, creating celestial constellations. These designs will be unveiled in July 2025.

This new line follows the launch of the Gem Dior collection which is “enriched by unprecedented models”, such as earrings in yellow, rose or white gold.

The collection also includes a bracelet sublimated by a gradation of sapphires and spessartite garnets and was designed as a tribute to Victoire de Castellane’s passion for colour.

With full ownership now secured, Morrison is accelerating Astrea’s international expansion, building on its current boutiques at the 5-star Fairmont Hotel in Windsor Park and Villa La Coste in Southern France.

Before co-founding Astrea Morrison launched Hay Hill Wealth Management, a boutique firm in Mayfair, London, which she successfully sold to a private equity firm, as well as Signia Wealth, which she built to £3bn in assets under management.

Founded in 2023, Astrea London offers lab-grown diamonds, certified by IGI or GIA, and graded D, E, or F for colour.

The diamonds are produced using environmentally responsible methods and exceptional craftsmanship, with production taking place in Astrea’s own factories.

The brand’s key ranges include the L’Amour Collection and the Eternal Collection and with each piece available in four precious metals.

Morrison said: “Becoming the sole shareholder of Astrea London marks an important milestone – both personally and for the brand. I’m incredibly proud of everything we’ve achieved so far to bring Astrea to this point.

“This next chapter brings clarity and focus as we continue to grow, while staying true to our commitment to exceptional craftsmanship and ethical innovation. Lab-grown diamonds are redefining what luxury means today, and Astrea is proud to be part of that shift. It’s an exciting time for the business, and I feel privileged to be leading it forward with a clear vision and deep commitment to conscious luxury.”
