In the highest echelons of the jewellery world,
Louis Vuitton’s launch collection of High Jewel-
lery, created by Lorenz Baumer, on the theme of
travel, L’Ame du Voyage, exploded with the
boldest of colour and form, expressing this
new, strong femininity, through techni-
cal innovations and drawing inspirations from
precious memories and glimpses of experience,
from the quiet majesty of a church to the swell of
a wave, the energy of a Flamenco dance.

After the extravagant excess of recent years,
giving consumers room to breathe and designers
the calm space in which to create radical trans-
formations, Gem Visions 2011 makes a special
study of two large emerging markets, India
and China, both influences on Western de-
sign, but also generating their own national
trends. Overall, a sense of soul takes over from
the dictatorship of status.

Stephen Webster Pandora
Jewellery Retail Hot Spots from around the World:

In London, Stephen Webster, international celebrity jeweller to rock stars

around the world, has opened his flagship store in the heart of Mayfair’s
newest elite shopping area.
He says, “Stephen Webster at 93 Mount Street is our flagship store and
with 11 Stephen Webster boutiques around the world we have had quite
a lot of practice. They all offer an environment that connects to the pro-
duct but the flagship in particular gives the shopper a more personal
glimpse into the world of Stephen Webster. With 20% of our overall
business being men’s jewellery, the challenge was to create a shop that
both men and women felt comfortable in. By designing and making so
many of the elements in the store such as door handles, mirrors, inspira-
tional glass panels, window graphics and decorated objects; the journey
from the front door through to the lounge more than prepares one for the
jewellery on offer.”
Stephen Webster
www.stephenwebster.com
PANDORA Jewellery was founded in 1982 based on a simple idea: „To
offer women across the world a universe of high quality/hand crafted,
modern, genuine jewellery products at affordable prices“.
The story of PANDORA Jewellery is amazing. From a small scale company
in the outskirts of Copenhagen, Denmark, the company has grown into
an international jewellery manufacturer with a worldwide network of
dealers, shop-in-shops and PANDORA Concept Stores. Today, millions of
people around the world own jewellery from PANDORA, with a new piece
sold every second.
Pandora Designers Lone Rønnow
Frandsen & Lisbeth Enø Larsen
For PANDORA having ‘one face‘ around the world is crucial. PANDORA‘s
store concept - a concept with furniture, flooring, lighting and acces-
sories - aims to ensure that PANDORA partners are effectively and uni-
formly exposed to consumers across all global markets. The PANDORA
concept resides primarily in the choice of materials displaying an effect
of refined elegance. The overall look and feel can be summa-
rized by its Scandinavian, relaxed, easy approach
atmosphere. The furniture and accessories are visually appealing
and products are displayed in an attractive manner. The aim is to inspire
consumers using decoration, inspiring and combinable ideas through its
adventurous merchandising and eye-catching display fixtures.

 H.Stern
Julia Muggenburg, designer and creator of Belmacz, has a private salon,
also in London’s Mayfair. From here she sells her distinctive contempo-
rary jewels, with their sophisticated barbaric flavor that subtly blends
fine art and tribal ornament.
„Buying a treasure must be done in a memorable

Belmacz
way. An eccentric ambiance is part of this joy,
making the jewel even more significant.“

In Brazil, forward-thinking and design-driven jeweller, H. Stern, has inte-
grated a spa into its store in the Rio Design Barra Shopping Centre, near
the beach in Rio de Janeiro. The spa has been created in partnership with
L’Occitane, the French Provencal beauty brand. The two spaces, the spa
and jewellery boutique, are interconnected both in architec-
tural design and in concept. In the jewellery boutique, aromatherapy,
tisanes and quick massages reinforce the sensuality of the jewels, the way
they feel on the skin, while in the Spa, showcases present jewellery inspi-
red by nature and the elements. Treatments, called rituals to reflect the
rituals surrounding jewellery, incorporate pearl powder and silver stones
designed to echo H. Stern’s Golden Stones collection; treatment rooms are
named after gemstones, like Tourmaline and Aquamarine.
“H. Stern’s new SPA is the most concrete expression of the brand’s long
term commitment to the concepts of well-being and self-gratification, for
a long time associated with the jeweller’s positioning, strategy and marke-
ting efforts. It further presents to its clients in Brazil and foreign visitors
the idea of a multi-faceted shopping experience,
which distinguishes H. Stern in the global luxury arena.”

In 2008 Golden Dew, one of the biggest and most successful retail
jewellers in Korea, introduced Stylus, a young, accessible, fashion-
forward brand, designed to deliver the messages of love and affection.
The retail concept reflects this fresh approach, clean, contemporary
and modern, in neutral shades of grey and peach, highlighted with huge
images of jewels and illustrations of their imaginary muse,
Luxie, whose beauty and confidence, explains Hasun Park, head
designer for Golden Dew, welcomes the customer and guides her through
the collections. www.goldendew.com

Golden Dew
“Our customers live today’s life. They want to
express their own styles and enjoy shopping
as a lifestyle experience. Through illustrated
images, our muse Luxie and her styling help
customers to understand our design concepts,
so that they easily adapt the collections to
their own tastes. … We would like to amuse
our customers with creative ideas, so that
they are always wondering, anticipating new
designs, wanting to explore the shops.”
Special Feature
MGS
The Chinese silver jewellery brand, MGS, established in Thailand in
the early 1970s, is inspired by 19th century Thai culture, with a firm
focus on environmental protection, wellbeing and comfort, a theme
expressed through the tactility of textured silver that feels good on the
skin, moves with body and is easy to wear. The jewellery has an exotic
flavour, derived from its Thai origins, but fuses Eastern and Western
influences, mixing a strong contemporary slant with elements of both art
and fashion. MGS now appeals to a new clientele through its evolving
fashion-forward attitude that aims to engage with the
customer, making jewellery relevant through interesting point of sale
material, and events including catwalk shows.
Overall, MGS presents jewellery as a contemporary wardrobe essential
and an urban lifestyle accessory. Their brand philosophy
can best be described as “autonomous, natural, free”, and their aim is
to create jewellery, for both men and women, that expresses a customer’s
individual taste and personality. Now firmly established in the Chinese
market, MGS has focused on communicating the story of silver jewellery
and its ability to move in tune with fashion, to mix with clothes and
accessories, and to look good and bestow inner self-confidence.

JEWELS
OF THE
KALAHARI
After a visit to Africa, jewellery marketing executive, Anna Haber was
captivated by the beauty, dignity and ingenuity of the Bushmen of the
Kalahari Desert, who have been making jewellery for generations, for the
ritualistic personal adornment that is so much part of their culture and
heritage. So much so that Anna and jeweller Sabine Roemer decided to
collaborate with the Bushmen to create a one of a kind 19 piece collec-
tion of jewellery, fashion-oriented, fusing the natural resources used by
the Bushmen, ostrich eggshell and recycled glass beads, with western
materials like leather, silk, silver, velvet and satin. The collection, conti-
nuing the storytelling traditions that are woven around their crafts, links
the Bushmen’s rich culture and ancient history with the fast-moving, ever-
changing modern world.

31
Largely isolated from the outside world until the last centu-
ry, the Kalahari Bushmen create intricate ornaments using
wild seeds, sticks, bone, leather, tortoiseshell and beads
painstakingly crafted from individual shards of ostrich
eggshell, sometimes fried or roasted to turn them a rich
brown or velvet black. Other beads are made from small
slices of porcupine quills. The ostrich egg and its shell are
vital to the Bushmen and no part goes to waste. One egg
can feed a whole family, after which the shell is used as
a container to carry water, while later the broken shards
are made into jewellery. Despite their grinding poverty, the
ravages of AIDS and the victimization they suffer at the
hands of neighbours, disenfranchised from their land in the
name of progress, they wear their jewels with great pride
and elegance.
Through the Jewels of the Kalahari collection, Anna Ha-
ber and Sabine Roemer hope to attract long term investors
Photogapher: Boo George; For further information on the project please visit http://onefinethread.blogspot.com/
to the project, in order, eventually, to create a sustainable
business for the tribe that could generate ongoing work and
a regular income. Most of all their aim is to build awareness
of the plight of the Bushmen and to highlight the impor-
tance of continuing their ancient traditions of craftsman-
ship, passed down through so many generations and now
in danger of being lost. Special Feature

This all-white trend, focusing on the purity,
radiance and inner fire of all colourless stones,
diamonds, zirconia, white sapphire and topaz,
provides a calm refuge from the onslaught of
colour. It celebrates and re-interprets the time-
less classicism of the white, light-filled gemstone,
its shapes and cuts, its infinite reflections, infu-

This theme has the flavour of Santorini, the

INTRODUCING A NEW DIMENSION OF
Brilliance
With the release of the latest addition to
the SWAROVSKI GEMS collection of
genuine gemstones and created stones,
the innovative Pure Brilliance Cut for our
Zirconia, we pay tribute to the timeless
elegance and beauty of colourless stones.
The Swarovski Zirconia Pure Brilliance
Cut is the first outstanding and flawless
new Zirconia product ever to faithfully
adhere to the Gemological Institute of
America’s recently introduced set of stan-
dards for grading diamond cut quality.
Applying these GIA standards and test
methods that determines the brilliance of
diamonds shows that the brilliance of the
SWAROVSKI Zirconia Pure Brilliance Cut
equals a level equivalent to the highest
quality diamond.
We at SWAROVSKI GEMS invited out-
standing top designers and connoisseurs
of the industry, famous for their excel-
lent diamond art work and expertise, to
interpret this new Zirconia Pure Brilliance
Cut in exciting and sparklingly brilliant
creations. Imagine for example, a beauti-
ful butterfly cuff by German-born designer
Sabine Roemer, the youngest ever female
Master Goldsmith, who is now based in
the U.K.. Or the absolutely amazing ear-
rings with a matching ring from famous
French Haute Joillerie designer Patrick
Mauboussin, who is recognized as a ge-
nius in the field of jewellery and design
and as one of the most amazing spirits in
the industry. Or we invite you to be inspi-
red by a modern, highly crafted brooch

reference
This theme introduces strong, barrier-breaking aesthetic codes that work towards a modern iconic classic
jewel, expressing its moment in time, the personality and values of its wearer. Powerfully modernist, urban
statement jewels are underlined with meaning and references to the world around them, like a Herzog de
Meuron building, the stadium in Munich or a jewel by Anish Kapoor, distilled from his monumental mirror
sculptures. The look is aristocratic, architectural and abstract, with tactility and sensuality, reflecting a
new, powerful femininity.

85
Consumer
A sophisticated, confident and cosmopolitan woman, powerful and elegant, sure of her style, who chooses
bold statement jewels to express her views, values and personality. She might choose to wear clothes by a
Japanese designer, Comme des Garçons or Yohji Yamamoto, or Ann Demeulemeester.

Textures and Materials
A strong metallic presence, incorporating chains, sculptural blocks in black and gold with industrial finishes,
sandblasted, or smooth and matte, Marcasite. The satin sheen of pearls, particularly black pearls in gunmetal
grey, and the organic softness of precious woods, add opacity to shadowy gems.

SECRET
A secret concept borrowed from African tribal jewels adds mystery
and freedom through abstract, distilled forms, and unrestrained
compositions of stones of different sizes, textures and colours. This
combination of tribal and modern art has been perfected by German-
born, London based designer, Julia Muggenburg of Belmacz .
CONSISTENCY
Experimental, architectural, design-driven structures with a Cubist
flavor hold gemstones, like treasures, within. Kinetic stones are
twisted and turned playfully by the wearer, as in Kamila Ruberg’s fine
gold kinetic constructions. Excess ornament and narratives give way
to mechanical precision.

Memories is a nostalgic theme with a contemporary edge, remembering the past but living in the
present and looking to the future through a new ingenuity and creativity in exquisite craftsmanship
and artistry. Louis Vuitton’s L’Ame du Voyage is built on memories, souvenirs and glimpses of a
personal journey, captured forever through mesmerizing technology and handicraft. Seductive and
feminine, this is a modern maximal jewel, delicate and detailed, with a childlike “kidult“ quality.
If it were a city, it might be Paris or even Istanbul, exquisitely captured in the huge pictorial rings by
Sevan Bicacki. Emotive jewels bring a new slant to the concept of preciousness.

Key Concepts CERAMICS
Sophisticated ways with ceramics and
porcelain, gem-encrusted, linking home décor
with jewels, jumble memories of the past with
fresh, creative design. Stones nestle or hide as
if in a jewel box.

BLOOMING
The perennial flower motif takes on a mad
mechanical, three-dimensional look. Lush
petals, of different proportions, tumble over
each other, in unexpected, irregular, but soft
colours, enriched with random pavé gems.
H. Stern’s newest collection, of crumpled gold,
is inspired by the Boboli Gardens in Florence
and Francis Mertens’ titanium flowers bloom
with micro-diamond edged flounced petals in
silky colours.

peri
ence
Exuberant, extravagant and experimental, these
jewels are opulent but playful, breaking
through polite, bourgeois boundaries and conventions.
The theme suggests a rich, multi-layered jewel,
often worn in unexpected ways, stacked in multiples,
worn to express personality rather than social
status. Strongly, darkly talismanic, influences and
inspirations are mixed with joyous abandon, to
create an extrovert, vibrantly colourful
glamour. There’s a sense of the sophisticated,
yet richly layered style that has become the signature
of Etro, the Italian fashion and lifestyle brand.

Dream
storming
This fifth theme represents a global phenomenon, the rise and influence of major ethnic cultures, particularly China and India, each
with many facets to its character, each exerting an important influence on the Western world and each developing its own microclimate
of themes and mixed inspirations. To illustrate the phenomenon, Gem Visions 2011 explores China’s ability to fuse Asian traditions
with Western style, its quest to create future memories and ancestral jewels, and looks at India as a massive emerging market, with its
distinctive cultural themes ranging from Bollywood extravaganzas, through exquisite Mughal art and craftsmanship, to love and rebirth.
In Hong Kong, designers and craftsmen like Michelle Ong for Carnet and Wallace Chan fuse old and new, East and West, and in India,
in Mumbai, Viren Bhagat regenerates his heritage using breathtaking craftsmanship to create contemporary Mughal-inspired jewels,
tinged with Art Deco, so loved by the Maharajahs. Dreamstorming creates a jewel that can travel from London to Shanghai, by way of
New York, Paris or Delhi.
