May 21, 2014




Yoko London

British-based design firm Yoko London has spent generations sourcing the most exquisite pearls and crafting breathtaking collections of fine jewelry. The above earrings feature pink round Freshwater pears and faceted amethysts set in 18 karat rose gold. Part of the colorful “Calypso” collection, which features gemstones in rich colors combined with rare and unique pink and white pearls, the opulent proportions of these earrings make them a dramatic statement and a sure-fire conversation starter.

Salon 401



Laurent Gandini 

Laurent Gandini’s jewelry is characterized by typical Italian popular tradition themes that evolve in a modern and sophisticated way by the incorporation of decorative motives such as lace, flowers and embroidery. The collection comes together with a feeling that is soft and poetic and one with a focus on lightness and volume. The above pair of “Superorchid” earrings are crafted in rose gold, made by lost wax casting with engravings and processed by hand in the designer’s Milanese atelier.

Bijoux De Mer

Bijoux De Mer designer Renee Launiere is dedicated to helping women feel beautiful 365 days a year, not just on special occasions. The above 18 karat gold, ruby and 18 karat gold nugget earrings for the brand’s “Couture Collection” are saturated with a beautiful berry hue. Each piece of Bijoux De Mer jewelry is designed exclusively by Renee Launiere and hand-crafted either by the designer herself or her team of in-house artisans. 

Next Wave 11

Plevé

Plevé is fine jewelry crafted with a micro mosaic surface of precious gems, mostly diamonds. It is a craft so new and revolutionary it received a patent for its invisible setting technique. Inspired by the way diamonds organically fit when mixed sizes, shapes and colors are sculpted with an artist’s hand, the above “Flame Raspberry” pendant contains reddish berry diamonds that fade into white and yellow diamonds, all set in 18 karat yellow gold.

Salon 510


Vieri Haute Joaillerie

Rose, white and yellow gold combine with bi-colored tourmaline, Imperial topaz and white and brown diamonds in “The Lily Collection” byVieri. To the designers, mother and daughter team, Kate and Guya Merkle, the lily is an emblematic flower that has accompanied the family’s company since the very outset. A symbol of purity, innocence, love and well-being, “The Lily Collection” blends tradition with modernity, giving it a timeless quality.

This is a very exciting moment – Reena has been working very hard to complete this first collection in time for the JCK show in Las Vegas, she said, 

“Finally!  So excited to share this announcement with you! It’s has been years in the making.  This inaugural collection is my labor of love that merges fashion and design with wearable technology and one of the coolest of human-innovations, lab-grown diamonds! A fully certified, fully disclosed line! “


Full Press Announcement Follows…
Reena Ahluwalia Launches “Nurture By Reena,” the World’s First 

Lab-Grown Diamond Designer Jewelry Brand

Milestone marks first-ever designer jewelry brand that exclusively features lab-grown diamonds – merges it with wearable technology & fashion.

Multi-award winning jewelry designer and longtime diamond industry insider, Reena Ahluwalia, today announced the launch of the world’s first lab-grown diamond designer jewelry brand – “Nurture By Reena.” 


The brand is committed to proudly feature fully disclosed, certified lab-grown diamonds that are origin-guaranteed, conflict-free and environmentally sustainable.

“The Moments Collection” is the first offering from “Nurture By Reena.” It combines diamond jewelry with wearable technology and merges style and fashion with deep personal meaning. 


Using QR Code technology opens the door to a unique ecosystem that allows you to attach
your most precious moments to your jewel. The lab-grown diamond pieces flip to discreetly
reveal a QR code that is otherwise hidden from view while the jewelry is worn.

Each cutting-edge design unites the beauty of natural shapes with the precision of modern
technology and brings to life Reena’s love of discovery. And while each piece embodies the
unique vision of the artist, you’re invited to give it personal meaning through the stories you attach to it. Capturing an individual’s unique moment and personal messages, the jewel can be effortlessly personalized with content that can be accessed anytime and anywhere. Like the eternal nature of a diamond, your jewel becomes a modern day digital talisman, a time capsule that captures and preserves your moment for eternity.


The Moments Collection is offered in colorless, pink and yellow lab-grown diamonds, with a starting carat weight of 0.40ct. and includes rings, pendants, earrings and bracelets. To date, there are 36 SKUs available in 18k gold, including white, yellow and rose gold. 




According to Designer, Reena Ahluwalia, “I looked at blooming flowers for inspiration and symbolism. For me, flowers are like moments – ephemeral, yet deeply memorable.”

Reena said, “Let me take you on a journey one could only imagine before. I am proud to bring to you a collection that celebrates the changing consumer values of today, embodies what real love means and helps you express your deepest personal stories. For retailers, this also offers phenomenal value and choices through layers of differentiation, which is essential to stand out in the retail space today.”
