In a recent episode of The Jewelry District, JCK’s Victoria Gomelsky and Rob Bates explore the evolving jewelry landscape, centered on Victoria’s visit to Brilliant Earth’s new Beverly Hills showroom. They highlight a significant pivot toward hospitality-driven retail for the 2026 bridal customer, noting that while experiential shopping is on the rise, the importance of sustainability appears to be fading in consumer decision-making. Rob also discusses the unconventional pressures record-high gold and silver prices are placing on refiners and shares industry insights from the Continental Buying Group show in Miami. The conversation wraps up with an analysis of recent shifts in the watch market and how various brands are adapting to current trends.
