Jewelry Designer Sarah Ho Makes an Enchanting New York Debut

Bergdorf Goodman has had an action-packed fine jewelry events calendar since Labor Day. Starting Wednesday, the New York City luxury department store will welcome London-based designer Sarah Ho.

Daughter of the late-’60s model and “It girl” Suki Potier, Ho grew up in Hong Kong and Macau before settling in the U.K. Those looking to shop and/or connect with her will have the chance to do so at Bergdorf’s through Friday, Sept. 20.

Creating only a limited number of pieces per year, Ho has historically operated her business exclusively on a by-appointment and bespoke basis for international private clients, and she recently opened a showroom in London’s Mayfair district.

Her Bergdorf’s engagement will be the first time she has presented her jewels directly to customers within a retail store. 

As such, she’s packed her treasure chest with mounds of feminine, one-of-a-kind masterpieces featuring stones such as vibrant tourmalines and luscious rubellites in beguiling tonal combinations. Settings are wrought with delicate lacework or gleaming enamel.

Pearls are also a Ho signature, whether it’s rare blush-pink conch pearls, antique natural pearls, or lustrous South Sea and Tahitian varieties.

The examples below are a bit of what you can expect. The brand will also be officially launching the Numerati collection, a series of rings in 18k gold and diamonds that plays to the idea of numerology and the ineffable power of  wearing talismanic jewelry.

 
Numerati Lucky Number rings in 18k gold and diamonds, from $5,300 each
 
 
Lacerta earrings, $19,600, and ring, $19,800, both with tourmaline, blue enamel, diamonds, and blue akoya pearls in 18k white gold
 

 
Candy ring with diamonds, white enamel, and morganite in 18k rose gold, $22,400
 

 
From left: Wisteria Long Red earrings with diamonds, rubellite, rubies, and pink opals in 18k rose gold, $17,300; and Wisteria Long Green earrings with diamonds, peridot, lime magnesite, and tsavorite in 18k white gold, $10,300
 

 
Wisteria ring with diamonds, peridot, lime magnesite, green chalcedony, and tsavorite in 18k white gold, $5,700
 

 
Wisteria Red studs with white diamonds, rubellite, rubies, and pink opals in 18k rose gold, price on request.

Small diamond cross necklaces are often the first important jewellery gifts given on special occasions. This is because crosses make a beautiful, inspiring and meaningful gift.

Will Blockchain Be a Boon to the Jewelry Industry?

LONDON — For gem specialists, merchants and gatherers alike, the absolute greatest difficulties are the equivalent — and very natural: How would one be able to ensure the moral provenance of a jewel or valuable stone? Guarantee it is genuine and not phony? How might one secure and track the development of a gem inside a divided and murky store network? What's more, how might one validate responsibility for piece if that is raised doubt about? Various gems industry heavyweights have as of late embraced circulated record innovation, an umbrella term for a mutual and synchronized database, to record such data. What's more, excited defenders of blockchain, the basic framework, say the innovation could be a conceivable — and progressive — check arrangement, albeit one still in its outset. Blockchain, which has been utilized since 2009 to support the digital currency Bitcoin, enables an exchange to be recorded forever on a database shared among PCs without depending on an o...

Enamored with Enamel Jewelry

What do you think of enamel jewelry? Personally, until a couple years ago, I hadn’t given it much thought. But with its resurgence in popularity, I’m becoming a big fan!! Certainly enamel is nothing new, as it dates back to the 13th Century BC! (If you want to read more about the history, Lang Antiques has an amazing article about enamel jewelry.) Basically enamel is when a certain type of glass, called an allochromatic, is fused to the metal below. You may be familiar with Closionee and Champleve, which are two popular types of enamel. Today, some jewelers are really taking this tricky technique to new heights, mixing enamel with jewels and themes that really make what’s old new again. Foundrae is one company that really has melded enamel, gold and meaningful talismans together. Here’s their Dark Blossom cuff.   Erica Molinari combines my love of momento mori and enamel in a new type of heirloom ring.  Brooke Gregson adds a whole new dimension to ena...

Jewelry to Wear with a Strapless Dress

From ultra-glam to sophisticated simplicity: How to choose just the right jewelry for a sexy, strapless dress. You’ve found the perfect dress: a gorgeous, strapless number that complements your figure and makes you feel more than a bit glamorous. You even have the shoes. But, like many (all) of us who don’t have a personal stylist to add that je ne sais quoi touch to make an outfit really spectacular, you may be wavering on what jewelry to wear. Don’t fret. By following a few simple guidelines, you’ll be sure to accessorize your bombshell dress with just the right jewelry pieces. Be dramatic A strapless dress is all about drama. A good rule of thumb is to select jewelry that doesn’t compete with that drama; rather, it enhances it. Choosing one statement piece as a focal point — like a jeweled necklace, elaborate chandelier earrings or a bold bracelet — is a nearly fail-safe way to go. With necklaces, you’ll want to consider what looks good with your dress’s neckline...
