[Auction News] Some diamonds are built differently. They’re larger, rarer, more chemically unusual, and let’s face it, more beautiful to look at. The Mediterranean Blue diamond is one such superstar of the carbon world, which recently went under the hammer at Sotheby’s Geneva @sothebys Weighing 10.03 carats and graded Fancy Vivid Blue, this cushion-cut treasure is more than a sensational stone – it’s a rarity. Classified as a Type IIb diamond (less than 0.5% of all diamonds!) with VS2 clarity, its backstory begins with a 31.94-ct rough unearthed in South Africa. The question now… is the $21.5 million price tag justified? Share your thoughts in the comments 💬

[Auction News] Not every jewel finds its match at the hammer. One of the most anticipated lots at Phillips Geneva @phillipsauction – a 53.14-ct Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond pendant – failed to sell, as reported by Forbes. This old mine cut, internally flawless diamond was expected to fetch up to CHF 3.1 million. But even with its exceptional colour and clarity, this isn’t always enough to seal the deal on auction day. If price were no object, would you have placed a bid – or do you think there’s another reason this jewel didn’t spark enough interest?
[Auction News] Feast your eyes on a sapphire like no other! A legendary 392.52-carat cushion-cut Ceylon sapphire, the Blue Belle of Asia is about to make history yet again at Christie’s New York @christiesinc on June 17. Discovered in Sri Lanka in 1926 and admired for its rich peacock-blue hue and exceptional clarity, this unheated gem has passed through royal hands, private collections, and decades of mystery. Today, it reigns as one of the most valuable sapphires ever sold at auction — and soon to be sold again! Have you ever seen a sapphire this big in real life?
[May Birthstone] There’s nothing quite like the thrill of new, bold, and even unexpected jewellery. This is exactly what Chopard @chopard has delivered with its Insofu High Jewellery collection! The Zambian miners who discovered a colossal 6,225-ct rough emerald named it Insofu, meaning elephant in the local Bemba language. Handling such an enormous emerald is no small feat, and to take on this challenge, Chopard welcomed master gem-cutters from India – a country with a rich heritage in gemstone cutting – to its Geneva workshop. The result of nearly a year of precise planning and craftsmanship? 850 carats of remarkable cut and polished gems, now beautifully fashioned into High Jewellery. #chopard #highjewellery #highjewelry #hautejoaillerie #emerald #emeraldnecklace #emeraldring
[May Birthstone] Those born in May are lucky enough to call emeralds their birthstone – and Picchiotti @picchiotti_fine_jewellery knows just how to showcase their beauty! 💚 Regardless of whether you’re celebrating your birthday this month or simply drawn to emerald’s vivid hues, I’m sure we can agree that when placed in an elegant jewellery design these green gems are simply irresistible. Here, emeralds and diamonds cascade in harmony along the décolletage. What is it that makes emeralds so captivating for you?
[GemGenève] When you see jewellery you fell in love a while back it’s like coming home :) It was so good to see Turkish designer Arman @suciyanjewels at @gemgeneve and befriend his swan ring again :)
[GemGenève Highlights] There are some amazing Paraibas here at GemGenève @gemgeneve, but one discovery shown to me by Victor Lima @victor.lima5 from Brasil Gem Commerce @bgcbrasil truly stood out to me 💎 These flawless gems from the Mavuco Mine in Mozambique are incredibly hard to find, especially in this size and quality! Their neon blue glow and loupe-clean clarity make them a collector’s dream. 📍If you love rare gemstones, you have to check BGC Brasil’s selection of Paraibas at Booth A80 during GemGenève, located at Palexpo in Geneva, Switzerland until 11 May.
[GemGenève] Yesterday was a ViP day at @gemgeneve and I allowed myself to roam around and indulge in the beauty of gems… when I passed by HC Arnoldi @hc_arnoldi I was instantly drawn to their aquamarine display (aquamarines have long been the speciality of this Idar-Oberstein gem cutter). So in this reel, I welcome you to embark on an aquamarine journey from the rough gem - to a cut and polished one - and then a gorgeous new necklace layout 💎 #hcarnoldi #gemgeneve #aquamarine
Sorry for spamming you with the Met Gala looks, but I just can’t take my eyes off all the splendid looks and I need to share more celebrities who wowed me with their jewellery style :) If you didn’t know - this year, guests were instructed to dress within the concept of ‘Tailored for You’, which is clearly quite open to interpretation. Leading the charge are the Met Gala co-chairs – Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, Lewis Hamilton, A$AP Rocky and Lebron James – who work alongside Anna Wintour to ‘set the tone’ for the event. As always, I have tagged jewellers in the pictures and I would like to hear in comments whose look you appreciate most!
Not since 2003 has a Met Gala theme focused exclusively on menswear, so we had high hopes for this year’s attendees demonstrating the best of tailored suiting adorned with high jewels. Fortunately, they did not disappoint! A plethora of famous faces, including Pharrell Williams, Colman Domingo, and Lewis Hamilton, tapped into the concept behind the Spring 2025 Costume Institute exhibition – Superfine: Tailoring Black Style – to reexamine Black dandyism through a modern lens. The results are eye-catching and fascinating, to say the least. Let’s take a closer look at some of the best ensembles (including jewellery) of the evening…
