  • Learn from experts at the show how to collect your personal treasure chest – one exquisite gemstone at a time. Some of these rare gems can be found at Caratell including an 11-carat Bixbite (red emerald), a 17.33 carat Imperial Topaz (non-heated), a 4.39 carat Horse conch pearl and a 2.75 carat Lion paw scallop pearl.
  • The appeal of rare, natural, colored gemstones – In 2015, a Burmese ruby sold for $30 million, or just over $1 million per carat – a benchmark usually achieved by the rarest and most exceptional coloured diamonds. That ruby, dubbed the Sunrise Ruby, weighed an astonishing 25.59 carats – an extraordinarily rare size for a ruby of its calibre. The singular stone set new auction records across the board when it sold at Sotheby’s Geneva in May, including a record price for a ruby, record price per carat for a ruby, and record price for a Cartier jewel – even ousting the Hutton-Mdivani Jadeite Bead Necklace which previously held the record price for a Cartier jewel.
  • The interest in rare colored gemstones in Asia is an excellent example of how buyers are looking to invest in colored gemstones. While this may be about investing, they are also buying the pieces that appeal to them the most and for their intrinsic beauty. Because rare, natural and untreated colored gemstones are scarce, they can be more precious than white diamonds. Good quality natural gemstones are beautiful and they are solid investment pieces. Some of these gemstones are very hard to find in nature. Once mined, their scarcity increases as do their value. There is a shortage of supply of the rarest and best quality gems in the market. Gems like rubies, sapphires and emeralds are taking centrestage again, while newer gems like spinels, tsavorites, tanzanites and other variety of tourmalines are fast gaining popularity.
  • SIJE in partnership with women communities Over the years, the show has enjoyed a large following of women who visit the show annually to enjoy the pieces on display and to learn about jewelry from experts in the industry. This year, the show organisers have taken a step further to include communities and organisations who help women make a better life for themselves. One such organization is Soul Rich Woman.

Women who are united in the goal of raising the bar and revealing the brilliance of working less, living more, loving a rich life and pursues their dreams. A series of talks will be presented by Soul Rich Woman and spearheaded by Ms Genecia Alluora, Soul Rich Woman’s Mentor. Genecia is also SIJE’s ambassador for 2016.

Spotlight on the new Frederique Constant : Slimline Automatic

Since 1988, Frederique Constant has been extracting the best of Swiss traditional historic watchmaking, in order to create “accessible luxury” watches.

With the new Slimline Automatic range, Frederique Constant demonstrates once again its profound attachment to its DNA and its desire to offer beautiful timepieces at affordable prices.

Frederique Constant watches are exclusively manufactured by hand, while the processes involved are regulated with the latest precision equipment available in the industry backed by years of research and development.  Unlike other brands, Frederique Constant watches are not only made for the elite, but for all watch lovers who know how to recognize the value of work well done by a master watchmaker, who knows how to assemble the smallest, complicated elements and make them into something very special. In 2016, Frederique Constant confirms with the new Slimline Automatic the “ accessible luxury ” spirit, on which lays the foundation of the brand since its creation.
Timeless chic
Modernity and tradition mingle harmoniously within this new creation. Housed within a thin case with refined lines, the Slimline Automatic displays the apparent simplicity of a studied sophistication permeating every detail.
For instance, the white dial is embellished with a circle of black Roman numeral indexes, providing this masculine model with a timeless character. The dial sports a square date window delicately positioned at 3 o’clock that ensures optimal readability.
The owner of this watch will appreciate the sleek round case that features a 40 mm diameter taking into account contemporary preferences.
These new watches are powered by the FC-306 automatic caliber, a 25-jewel movement oscillating at 28,800 beats per hour, boasting tried and tested reliability and resistance. This movement provides a 42-hour power-reserve and drives the minute, hour and date functions.
Like all the models of the new Slimline Automatic range, its refined casing is snapped with a sapphire crystal glass at the back, which enables amateurs to admire the movement of their timepiece. It is water-resistant to 30 meters. The back of the watch is engraved with the name Frederique Constant and the watches individual reference number that attests of its authenticity. Each version of the Slimline Automatic watch is fitted with a leather strap and pin buckle matching the color of the case: black for the stainless steel model and chocolate brown for the rose gold plated variation.
