#JewelWKLV - Vendor Spotlight: Emiko Pearls

Emiko Pearls International Inc.
Luxury by JCK
Breakers Ballroom #LUX1506


When you walk out onto a Showroom Floor - there is definitely a moment of wonder - sparkling metals, scintillating diamonds, and color color color!!!  But sometimes it is the soft natural luster that draws your eye...


We all know how rare natural colored pearls over 12mm are...well if you walk by the Emiko Pearls display in the Breakers Ballroom at Luxury by JCK you will miss out on some of the most unique pearl jewelry, art objects and loose pearls in every hue and overtone.



...and one of the most colorful Sales Reps on the floor - Ron is a hoot and Emiko proves that Beauty and Whimsy are great partners!  Who says men don't wear pearls...that is a Bull pearl ring on Ron!


In my opinion, Emiko is to Pearls what the Munsteiners are to Colored Gems!  how is that for commitment?  YEP - I am a convert!

About Emiko Pearls International, Inc.  (from their website)

Emiko Pearls is a premier source for high-quality and unusual South Sea and Tahitian pearls.  For three decades we have been known in the trade as a source of finely-matched pairs for earrings, unique shapes and unusual colors. None of our pearls are dyed or color-enhanced and are GIA-certifiable as such.

Our clients span the globe--jewelry stores, designers and manufacturers--and expect nothing but the very best quality available.  In addition to assembling rich and breathtaking strands of South Sea  and Tahitian pearls (white, gold, brown, black, grey, silver and green) we also manufacture unique, one-of-a-kind and limited-edition jewelry pieces out of carefully selected pearls.

#JewelWKLV - Luxury Comes In All Price Points!

I have to say that when I signed up to cover Luxury by JCK I thought I would be overwhelmed...I am amazed by the craftsmanship, stunned by the color of the gems and blinded by the scintillation of the diamonds...but this show is so well set up that no one thing overwhelms you.  Each booth stands out and stands on it's own!


A couple of vendors that are truly the answer to the small retailer and chain alike that are weathering these tough times...

YEP - you saw that right LIEBERFARB - probably one of the #1 names in LUXURY Wedding...has just introduced a new line called BOND2.  a seamlessly extruded precious product made by pulling a tube of gold together with a tube of silver, so tightly, that the metals fuse together completely!!!


If you are a Maker/Bench Jeweler you know that this means you have a metal that you know how to work - and you CAN work this - so personalize blanks with stones or engraving - make it yours!!!

This next Designer is new to me Enric Torres has several lines - this artist from Barcelona is known most for his line of Gaudi style translucent enamels...



...but the lines that stood out to me were the Gallery and Silver Lines -you get a really BIG look and a very affordable retail...


The Gallery line "Parracs" has a chunky folded and forged steel look in Sterling Silver 

...and the newest silver line is so reasonable - has a big look, texture, gems and movement - what more could you ask for?


Contact info is coming - and they will have a website up soon!


*any prices shown are tradeshow pricing


More to come....

Palladium is a rare and lustrous silvery-white metal that, together with platinum, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium and osmium, form the group of elements known as the platinum group of metals. It is lightweight, durable, naturally white, pure, and sensitive to the skin. It is becoming the luxury metal of choice for a growing number of fashion-forward jewelry designers and savvy consumers.

Formed in March 2006, Palladium Alliance International (PAI) is the world’s first organization dedicated to promoting palladium as a luxurious and distinctive jewelry metal which is backed by industry-leading education, marketing, public relations and technical support.
