The 5 Chicest Jewellery Brands From The 2025 Las Vegas Couture Show That You Can Shop In The GCC
Each year the world's coolest and most contemporary jewellers descend upon Las Vegas for its renowned couture show. This year? There are five key designers to discover and have delivered to your doorstep… Every year, leading designers, buyers, and media from all corners of the world gather in Las Vegas for Couture, the prestigious jewellery show, where both burgeoning and established brands showcase their latest collections and set the trends for the coming months. This year, designers continued to play with diamonds, bringing a contemporary flair to this classic gemstone through their edgy, yet timeless designs. From Beirut and Athens to New York and Dubai, read on to discover our selection of fine jewellery designers who are making their mark on the global stage. Nikos Koulis In 2006, Athenian fine jewellery designer Nikos Koulis launched his namesake brand. Renowned for his captivating designs, reimagined classics and use of unconventional yet exceptional diamond cuts and materials, Koulis consistently pushes boundaries to create pieces that are both visually striking and easy to wear. His most recent collection, Wish, draws inspiration from his childhood memories of making wishes on dandelions and embodies his innovative approach to high jewellery. Aluminium and black enamel are paired with diamonds and other precious stones to create pieces that are rooted in individuality and characterized by unparalleled craftsmanship. As Koulis explains, 'Exclusivity is key. In a world saturated with homogeneous styles and trends, owning something unique becomes increasingly rare. My jewellery caters to individuals who don't feel the need to conform, but know exactly what they want and share a collector's ethos and aesthetic values.' Shop Nikos Koulis at Khepri The sentiment 'age is just a number' rings especially true for Khepri, a relatively young brand that launched in 2023 yet has already made waves in the jewellery industry. Founded by Reema Chopra, who transitioned from a successful banking career to pursue her love of jewellery, gemstones and design, Khepri has quickly gained momentum. As part of its brand purpose, Khepri is deeply rooted in a philosophy that honours self-expression and transformation, allowing the wearer to feel both classic and cool. In Luna, her latest collection, Chopra features warm-toned, fancy-coloured diamonds that evoke the glow of a romantic candlelit dinner. 'Fancy diamonds in these earthy shades, felt like my skin, but in a diamond,' says Chopra. Yeprem Lebanese fine jewellery house Yeprem, founded in 1964, is renowned for its sculptural creations that transform the wearer into a walking diamond-studded masterpiece-each piece is designed to complement the natural curves of the female form. Yeprem aims to empower women through jewellery that is artistic, striking and above all, wearable. In its latest collection, Arev, which draws its name from the Armenian word for 'sun,' the pieces are sculpted to reflect light in motion, capturing the radiance, strength and life-giving energy of the Yeprem woman. 'Yeprem is not just jewellery-it's transformation. Our designs are for the woman who dares to be seen, who wears power not as a statement, but as her second skin,' says Loutfic Yeprem. Maison H After a decade in the diamond trade, South African entrepreneurs Fatima Tayob and Hisham Mahomed, relocated to Dubai where they launched their fine jewellery brand, Maison H, in 2012. Drawing on deep industry knowledge, a discerning eye and a strong brand ethos, Maison H has quickly become a coveted name among celebrities and global style icons. Known for bold contemporary creations that become like second skin, the brand is a celebration of fluid designs and fearless creativity. As part of its latest collection, Maison H has unveiled sculptural pieces in beautifully textured gold that will surely shine on the global stage. 'True artistry in jewellery lies in bold disruption, the core ethos of Maison H Jewels,' says Tayob. Jade Trau Fifth-generation diamantaire Jade Lustig launched her fine jewellery brand, Jade Trau, in 2012. Blending vintage-inspired design with contemporary yet edgy elegance, Lustig has cultivated a devoted following and is now expanding in the Middle East later this summer. Designed to become an extension of the wearer, Lustig's creations lend themselves to a personalised and effortless layered look. 'I think a gold neck and a diamond ear seemed to dominate the airwaves of the show… clients loved the new chains to pair with our charms and all the new diamond earrings of all shapes and sizes were super exciting to everyone,' says Lustig.

Paul Sheeran seeking €5.5m for jewel in company's crown just off Grafton Street
Having already overseen the opening at the Chatham & King development of a swath of luxury watch boutiques offering brands that include Cartier, Breitling, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Panerai, Paul Sheeran Jewellers is set to relocate its fine jewellery and diamond business from its original home just off Grafton Street to a larger premises near Chatham Street. Number 7-8 Johnson's Court is being offered to the market by joint agents Colliers and JLL at a guide price of €5.5 million. The property is alternatively available to let at an annual rent of €275,000. Commenting on his decision to relocate after 31 years, Mr Sheeran said: 'Johnson's Court provided us with a wonderful home for many years, but the business has evolved now and with that has come the opportunity to elevate and expand even more as we relocate our fine jewellery and diamond business to be closer to our luxury watch emporium on Chatham Street.' Located on the pedestrianised thoroughfare linking Grafton Street with Clarendon Street, 7-8 Johnson's Court comprises 4,500sq ft of space distributed across three floors over basement level. While the property would suit an established retail brand looking to take advantage of its close proximity to Grafton Street, the selling agents say it could also accommodate alternative uses such as a restaurant, entertainment venue, or a licensed premises, subject to planning permission. To facilitate that potential, a planning application is now being submitted seeking approval for a change of use to an entertainment/food and beverage venue. [ Prime retail units on St Stephen's Green seeking occupiers Opens in new window ] Niall Delmar of Colliers says: 'It's uncommon for a vacant building so close to Grafton Street to come to the market, especially with both freehold and leasehold options available. This is a valuable opportunity for retailers, food and beverage operators, developers and investors.' READ MORE Nicola Vance of JLL adds: 'This prime location offers an excellent opportunity for astute investors or occupiers seeking an exclusive address capitalising on the high footfall from Grafton Street, Dublin's premier shopping district.'

Jihan & Louai Alama Unveil Djihan: When Family Legacy Meets Modern Fine Jewelry
Today, Paris witnessed the launch of Djihan, a new fine jewellery house born from the shared vision of mother-and-son duo Jihan and Louai Alama. Rooted in emotion, heritage, and precision craftsmanship, Djihan bridges generations of design — melding East with West, tradition with innovation, and personal memory with timeless artistry. 'With Djihan, I wanted to challenge the way we experience fine jewellery,' explains Louai Alama, Designer & CEO. 'For me, it's not just about beauty — it's about connection and meaning. I grew up watching my mother, Jihan, bring pieces to life with so much intention and grace... What began as a shared passion has become a deeper vision. We complement each other completely — she's the keeper of the dream, and I bring a new perspective to it.' The brand's debut collection, Cube Mirage – Drop I, reinterprets a 2005 design into 15 sculptural pieces fashioned in 18k yellow, white, or rose gold. From the understated Mini Cube Mirage bracelet to the statement-making Mega Cube Mirage necklace, each item is made to order — featuring ethically sourced diamonds or pavé settings, adjustable lengths, and personalisation options. True to their Mediterranean Summer campaign, Djihan's pieces arrive in sunset-hued packaging that turns every unboxing into a moment of joy. The collection comes to life with a bold campaign titled 'A Mediterranean Summer,' depicting a sun-drenched, emotionally rich campaign capturing the spirit of Djihan, the series is shot in soft light and natural textures while the imagery evokes distinct memories – warm, sincere, and quietly powerful. Even the packaging is part of the story: each piece arrives in a custom-designed sunset-toned box, turning the unboxing into a moment of joy and permanence. Beyond materials and form, Djihan is a personal universe. Each creation carries the Alamas' family narrative — handpicked by Jihan and reimagined by Louai — offering wearers a chance to keep their own stories close. Available exclusively at Djihan invites you to step into a new era of personal luxury: crafted with love, carried with meaning, and designed to last.

Richemont defies luxury downturn with strong jewellery sales
Resilient demand for fine jewellery has helped the owner of Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels defy the broader downturn in luxury spending. Richemont, the Swiss luxury group, posted stronger-than-expected sales in the fourth quarter and signalled it would resist aggressive price increases despite the threat of US tariffs. It reported a 7 per cent rise in sales to €5.17 billion for the three months to the end of March, outpacing analysts' forecasts. An 11 per cent jump in jewellery revenue helped to offset a sharp drop in watch sales amid weaker sentiment in China. Shares in the Swiss-listed company climbed CHF11.22, or 7.3 per cent, to CHF165.32 in mid-afternoon trading on Friday, taking gains for the year to 17 per cent, in stark contrast
