In this episode of The Jewelry District podcast, JCK’s Victoria Gomelsky and Rob Bates analyze the primary forces shaping the jewelry landscape in 2026, specifically focusing on how economic strain on the middle class has created a bifurcated luxury market. The hosts explore the potential for a natural diamond revival driven by renewed stability and marketing efforts, while also examining how record-high gold prices are forcing designers to innovate with alternative materials and colored gemstones. Their discussion extends to the logistical impact of new tariffs on upcoming industry events like the Tucson shows, the evolving outlook for the watch business, and the strategic importance of the growing Middle Eastern market as the industry navigates an uncertain but dynamic year.
