Are these world renowned diamond experts clairvoyant?
 

Through the Looking Glass - The Future of Diamonds

AGA Las Vegas Conference - Thursday, May 31, 2012 - 1- 5 pm

Is the World Of Diamonds As You've Known It About To Change Forever?

It might change in ways that we have never envisioned, and this conference is going to be the first to address issues no one else has dared to discuss until now. This could be one of the most important conferences ever on diamonds.

For thousands of years-since man's fascination with diamonds began-diamonds have been highly sought-after for every imaginable reason. They are steeped in history and intrigue, fact and fiction, and hold an unrivaled position as one of the most valuable of all things. Jewelers world-wide agree that diamonds are at the core of every successful jewelry business today.  The story of diamonds, however, continues to unfold. It has seen many challenges and many changes: concerns about the depletion of natural diamond production; innovative high-tech treatments; new sources of colorless and fancy-color laboratory diamonds; and advances in technology for applications in other fields, from medicine and aerospace to the electronics industry.    Are YOU ready for the future of diamonds? Come hear leaders from the gem and jewelry field -- and from other fields in which diamond technology is essential - as they address the issues surrounding diamond demand and supply, innovative technology, and the impact on diamond treatments, synthesis, and detection.  MODERATOR    Alex Grizenko, CEO of Lucent Diamonds, will have you sitting on the edge of your seat as he sets the stage for a riveting exploration of the world of diamonds, guiding the expert panelists to address the future from their own set of experiences, and giving the audience a unique opportunity to envisionthrough a kaleidoscopic looking glass... the future of diamonds! A renowned expert on new diamond technologies, Alex Grizenko is regarded today as one of the market leaders in laboratory-grown diamonds and treated natural diamonds. SPEAKERS/PANELISTS   Martin Rapaport established in 1978 the Rapaport Diamond Report, the primary source today of diamond price and market information. In 1980, he created RapNet - The Rapaport Network, the first and world's largest electronic diamond trading network, providing daily diamond listings of 550,000 diamonds worth over $4.5 billion dollars, with 3,900 members of the diamond trade in 70 countries.  Can We Really Rely On A Continuous Supply Of Diamonds Any More...     It's getting much harder today to find diamonds in a range of sizes and qualities. What is the future of diamond production and availability. Howard Coopersmith is a Registered Professional Geologist with over 35 years of experience in diamond deposits, project evaluation, due diligence, feasibility, development and mining. His work has gained the recognition as one of the world's most respected diamond mining expert. So Why Are Heated Diamonds HOT...    For most of the 20th century, diamond "treatments" were superficial and easy to spot. By the end of the 20th century, gemology was having a hard time keeping up with technology. The gemological labs did catch up but now let's fast forward to 2012, to expert panelist Sonny Pope, CEO, Suncrest Diamonds. He has been actively involved in the high pressure, high temperature field for twenty-five years, innovating and perfecting the process.  And Will Fancy Color Diamonds Some Day Outnumber the Colorless...     Satisfying the demand for color diamonds might prove possible with atechnology created by Jay Neogi, the Co-founder of Serenity Technologies that uses an ion induction color treatment to any natural or synthetic diamonds. Some have called it coating. Serenity states that their diamonds are stable under all normal use conditions including elevated temperatures, sonication baths and dilute acids/caustics used during jewelry setting, rhodium plating, repair and cleaning operations. Will My Blue Diamond Ring Also Be My Supercomputer...    There are several ways to grow a diamond, from HPHT to CVD, and there aremany different types of growers. Labs are perfecting the science of diamondgrowth for applications that tend far beyond the gem and jewelry industries. Founder of Apollo Diamonds, Dr. Robert C. Linares is a co-developer of CVD Technology. His research allows electronics and optics technology to move beyond the limitations of silicon based devices. Tell Me That You Can Tell The Difference.....      Today the sophisticated grading labs can distinguish between natural and synthetic diamonds, and natural and treated color. But can all labs do it effectively? Dr. James Shigley is a Distinguished Research Fellow at the Gemological Institute of America. He continues to advance GIA's gem research program to support the jewelry trade to meet the challenges of gem identification of natural, synthetic, and treated diamonds.

Sotheby's Geneva Celebrates a Record Breaking Two Days, Filled With Jewels!

SOTHEBY’S GENEVA BRINGS $108,377,219

A WORLD RECORD FOR A VARIOUS OWNER JEWELLERY SALE

MAGNIFICENT JEWELS AND NOBLE JEWELS SALE

The Private Collection of Suzanne Belperron

Totals $3,459,307 - More Than Tripling the Pre‐Sale Expectation

THE BEAU SANCY

One of the Most Important Royal Diamonds

Ever to Come to Auction Sells For CHF 9,042,500 / $9,699,618

Sotheby’s Geneva, 15 May 2012 – Tonight Sotheby’s Auction House set a new world record of $108,377,219 for a various owner jewellery sale, with the conclusion of its two‐day Magnificent Jewels and Noble Jewels Sale, surpassing the record set by Sotheby’s Geneva in November 2010 of $105 million.

Over the two days 24 lots sold for over $1 million. The Beau Sancy, one of the most important royal diamonds to ever come to auction, sold for CHF 9,042,500 ($9,699,618). The result achieved by the celebrated jewel brought the total for the May Jewellery auctions to an outstanding total of CHF 104,298,625 ($111,836,526), almost doubling the pre‐sale low estimate of CHF 54 ‐85 million*.

Speaking after the sale, David Bennett, Chairman of Sotheby’s Jewellery Department in Europe and the Middle East and Co‐Chairman of Sotheby’s Switzerland commented: “The legendary Beau Sancy is a truly magical stone that has entranced generations of royal owners and continues to exert a powerful influence over all who see it. Its supreme historical importance was reflected tonight in the strength of the bidding and the remarkable result realized. The two days of sales of jewellery at Sotheby’s this week achieved a record total with 94% of lots finding buyers and doubling the pre‐sale estimate: proof that privately sourced jewels, many with noble provenance are highly sought after.”

The Beau Sancy
No less than five bidders competed for The Beau Sancy (lot 595), driving the price to an outstanding CHF 9,042,500 / $9,699,618 almost five times the pre‐sale low estimate of CHF 1,850,000‐3,650,000 ($2‐4 million).

After a battle of nearly eight minutes, the celebrated jewel was finally bought by an anonymous buyer bidding over the telephone.

The Beau Sancy has been the privileged witness of 400 years of European history. Passed down through the Royal Families of France, England, Prussia, and the House of Orange, the celebrated stone was worn by Marie de Medici in 1610 at her coronation as Queen Consort of Henri IV. The 34.98 carat modified pear double rose cut diamond would have come from the area of Golconda in India, the sole source of diamonds until the discoveries in Brazil in the 1720s.

Noble Jewels
Continuing Sotheby’s distinguished history of offering jewels with aristocratic provenance, Sotheby’s Geneva sixth annual sale of Noble Jewels brought a combined total of CHF 23,196,025 ($24,881,680), tripling the presale low estimate of CHF 7,022,500‐11,705,000 ($7.532.825‐12,555,602).

In addition to the Beau Sancy, the Noble Jewels section was highlighted by The Murat Tiara (lot 594) which realized CHF 3,610,500 (3,872,875), in an eleven minute bidding battle between three telephone bidders, more than double its pre‐sale low estimate of CHF 1,375,000‐2,285,000 ($1,500,000‐2,500,000). This impressive pearl and diamond jewel was created in 1920 by Joseph Chaumet for the marriage of Prince Alexandre Murat (1889 – 1926) to Yvonne Gillois (1894 – 1961). The diadem boasts one of the largest natural pearls ever recorded, at 303.37 grains. As stated by the SSEF laboratory, “the main pearl in the center is outstanding in its size and one of the most important pearls certified so far at the SSEF” and “natural pearls of this size, quality and with a documented historic provenance are very rare and thus the described tiara with three large pearls represents a very exceptional treasure”.

Among the other gems of great historical significance which belonged to prestigious European families was a diamond brooch set with a 7.33 carat Fancy deep yellow diamond coming from the collection of Prince Filippo Corsini (lot 589) which fetched CHF 902,500 ($968,085), (est. CHF 275,000‐460,000/ $300,000‐500,000).  The central diamond was offered to the Corsini family by Charles Edward Stuart (1720 – 1788), commonly known as "Bonnie Prince Charlie" in the 1770s, most certainly in gratitude for their support during his years of exile.

From the Estate of the late Prince Kinsky, an Important natural pearl and diamond necklace made circa 1880 (lot 593) achieved CHF 1,142,500 ($1,225,525), quadrupling its pre‐sale low estimate of CHF 275,000–460,000 / $300,000–500,000).


Enjoying a similarly illustrious provenance a selection of jewels coming from the collection of a member of the Princely Family of Thurn und Taxis was highlighted by a very fine emerald and diamond demi‐parure (lot 592), composed of a necklace and a pair of earrings, which was purchased by Albert, 8th Prince of Thurn und Taxis around 1890. Estimated at CHF 200,000‐300,000/ $220,000‐330,000, these superb jewels were sold for CHF 962,500 ($1,032,445).  A fine sapphire and diamond brooch/pendant circa 1910 (Lot 588) which belonged to the Italian Countess Adriana Guillichini della Gherardesca was sold for CHF 386,500 ($414,587) (est. CHF 185,000‐370,000/$200,000‐400'000.

Magnificent Jewels
The Magnificent Jewels section was led by two necklaces from a royal collection. The first, a necklace suspending a detachable pear‐shaped D colour diamond weighing 41.40 carats (lot 734) achieved CHF 4,050,000 ($4,344,314) against an estimate of CHF 2,750,000‐4,550,000 ($3,000,000‐5,000,000). The necklace was purchased by Amer Radwan who has named it “Dubai Vision”.

The second, a magnificent emerald and diamond necklace designed by Bulgari circa 1970 (lot 733) sold for CHF 2,200,000 ($2,359,874) against an estimate of CHF 1,400,000‐2,800,000 ($1,500,000‐3,000,000).

The sale comprised a group of white diamonds which were D Colour ‐ the finest colour grading for white diamonds. An exceptional diamond ring by Harry Winston set with a 36.43 carat internally flawless diamond (lot 721) realised CHF 3,834,500 ($4,113,153) (est. CHF 3,200,000‐5,000,000 / $3,550,000‐5,500,000). This stone had been found to be part of the rare Type IIa subgroup comprising less than 2% of all gem diamonds. Diamonds of this group are chemically the purest of all diamond crystals and often have extraordinary optical
transparency.

The offering of coloured diamonds included an important ring centering on a fancy intense purple‐pink brilliant‐cut diamond weighing 3.71 carats, between shoulders set with marquise‐shaped rubies (lot 731) which fetched CHF 5,122,500 ($5,494,752 USD) against an estimate of CHF 1,850,000‐3,650,000/ $ 2,000,000‐ 4,000,000).

A Superb Private Collection of Gems and Jewels
At the core of the sale was also a superb private collection of gems and jewels which brought a combined total of CHF 17,648,325 ($18,889,002) almost doubling the pre‐sale low estimate of CHF 9,059,000‐14,288,500 ($9,695,848‐15,292,982). Comprising over 80 pieces, this exceptional collection has been assembled by two generations of a family, from the mid‐1960s until present day.

Reflecting the passion for gemstones that animated the family for 50 years was a pair of impressive Kashmir sapphire clips (lot 674) which sold for CHF 1,482,500 ($1,586,720) (est. CHF 825,000‐1,370,000/ $900,000‐1,500,000), a ring set with a cabochon Burmese sapphire weighing 58.56 carats (lot 666) which made CHF 1,314,500 ($1,406,909) (est. CHF 730,000‐1,275,000/ $800,000‐1,400,000) and a very rare and highly important multi‐coloured sapphire and diamond suite (lot 663) which surpassed its estimate of CHF 50,000‐910,000 and sold for CHF 1,482,500 ($1,586,720).

“White Glove” Sale for the Personal Collection of Suzanne Belperron
On May 14th all 60 Jewels from the Personal Collection of Suzanne Belperron (1900‐1983), one of the most important jewellers of the 20th Century, sold for the outstanding total of CHF 3,224,950 ($3,459,307), more than tripling the pre‐sale expectation of CHF 902,000‐1,365,000. The sale – the most significant collection of jewels by Suzanne Belperron ever presented at auction ‐ was a “white glove sale”, with 100% sold by lot and value. Demand for seminal pieces from Belperron’s oeuvre was intense with international bidding driving prices
well above estimates.

JCK LasVegas 2012 Spotlight on "Made In the USA"

I think that by now we are all familiar with the ABC Nightly News feature "Made in America"  where Diane Sawyer and team encourage viewers to look at everything in their home to discover how much of what they purchase is actually made here in the United States.  (BTW - is there a Jewelers/Brand list on the ABC website yet? ...are you on it?)

This year the JCK Las Vegas Show is paying attention to Jewelers and Brands that  source and produce in the US!  ...announcement follows link...

Buyer Tools:  http://lasvegas.jckonline.com/For-Buyers/Tools/

The 2012 JCK Las Vegas show will call special attention to manufacturers and designers who source materials and produce jewelry entirely in the U.S.A.  In total, 338 manufacturers and designers are designated ‘Made in the U.S.A.’, including over 50 new exhibitors to the show this year. The program will identify ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ at the JCK Show through the show guide, online map, booth signs and decals.

“We actually began identifying manufacturers and designers who produce solely in the U.S.A. last year and received very encouraging feedback on the program. Many retailers shared how important this feature is, as they have seen the hallmark of ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ positively influence consumer purchases over the last few years.” Explains Yancy Weinrich, Industry Vice President, JCK Events.

Ann Arnold, CEO of Lieberfarb, who oversees the production of each piece in their NJ Factory notes the importance of ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ to her brand, saying “The value of each piece is greatly enhanced by the fact that we are involved in every aspect of production from sourcing our own homegrown materials to nurturing vendor and craftsman relationships. The level of quality control and service it guarantees is invaluable in my mind.” 

For many, ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ is a key feature, over any other that defines them in this market. As a result of selecting the ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ category, an American flag appears next to the brand’s name in various show-planning tools such as the show product guide and online maps of the show floor. Retailers registering for the show can utilize these tools, searching specifically for ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ brands when planning their trip. While at the show, amid the comprehensive collection of exhibitors, retailers can easily source ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ brands by the American flag decal that appears next to their booth number.
