💎 GIA World Diamond Day: the Motswedi (formed once, in deep time — never again) and the Taylor-Burton (Elizabeth Taylor sold it to fund a hospital in Botswana). Natural diamonds carry stories. That is why they always will matter. #GIA #WorldDiamondDay #MauraGems #NaturalDiamonds

🔬 Gem-A Journal: opalised wood (ancient wood replaced by opal, grain preserved in shimmer), rose quartz from Iran, Jaguar stone quartz with painterly inclusions. Every gem is a story. Gemmology reads them. #GemA #Gemmology #MauraGems #NaturalGemstones

⌚🎉 Forbes: Las Vegas World Cup 2026 — penthouse watch parties, jewellery stylists on-site, ultra-HNW guests wearing remarkable timepieces. The watch as conversational object. The most concentrated luxury moment of the decade. #WorldCup2026 #LasVegas #MauraGems #LuxuryWatches

💎 India-US zero-duty diamond deal: India cuts 90%+ of world's rough diamonds, 800,000 craftspeople in Surat. The world's greatest cutting centre now has zero-friction access to the world's largest jewellery market. #GJEPC #IndiaDiamonds #MauraGems #DiamondTrade

[marklsmith @marklsmith3]

⌚ Platinum watch collectors: thin cases, unadorned dials, cool undertone. The statement is internal, not external. They know what they own and that's enough. Restraint and refinement as the ultimate luxury position. #PlatinumWatches #WatchPro #MauraGems #Horology #LuxuryWatches

⚽💎 FIFA × fine jewellery — billions of viewers, the world's most affluent hospitality guests, the gold of the trophy. Fine jewellery belongs at the greatest sporting show on earth. Brands building these connections now benefit for years. #WorldCup2026 #FIFA #MauraGems

[marklsmith @marklsmith3]

💎 Coloured gemstones: fastest-growing fine jewellery segment 2026. Lab-grown redirecting buyers to natural stones. Colour generation choosing sapphires over solitaires. Auction results confirming collector value. Knowledge is the lasting advantage. #ColouredGemstones #MauraGems

[marklsmith @marklsmith3]

💎 Sotheby's 2026: vivid pink (Argyle closed forever — irreplaceable), fancy blue (Type IIb, ultra-rare), fancy yellow growing fast. Natural phenomena that cannot be manufactured. Rarity, provenance, colour — that's all that matters. #ColouredDiamonds #MauraGems #Sothebys

[marklsmith @marklsmith3]

⌚ Hodinkee: Ulysse Nardin (marine chronometers so accurate navies navigated by them) and H. Moser & Cie (fumé dials, no logo, everything in-house). A watch should be an act of intention, not market research. #UlysseNardin #HMoser #Hodinkee #MauraGems #Horology

[marklsmith @marklsmith3]

💛 Personalised fine jewellery — messages in a loved one's handwriting, family birthstones, coordinates of a first meeting. Pieces that require knowing someone deeply. The most meaningful trend in jewellery right now. #PersonalisedJewellery #MauraGems #FineJewellery

[marklsmith @marklsmith3]

🔨💎 Christie's 2026: Burmese ruby collection smashes estimates. Paraíba tourmaline at 7× pre-sale. Demand for the finest natural coloured stones far exceeds supply. Knowing what exceptional looks like — that's what expertise means. #Christies #MauraGems #ColouredGemstones

[marklsmith @marklsmith3]

💍 2026 jewellery trends: heirloom-inspired pieces built for generations, bezel settings for architectural beauty, sculptural arm cuffs. Not passing trends — a deeper shift toward jewellery that means something. #JewelleryTrends #MauraGems #FineJewellery

[marklsmith @marklsmith3]

💎 Lab-grown diamond prices down 70-80% from 2020 peak. Market bifurcating: lab-grown winning mid-market on size/price, natural diamonds reasserting value through rarity & provenance. Both have their place. Know what your buyer values. #LabGrownDiamonds #MauraGems #DiamondMarket

[marklsmith @marklsmith3]

💎 GIA: the Hope Diamond (45.52ct blue, unique red phosphorescence) and the Motswedi exceptional white. Natural gemstones are irreplaceable — no lab creates their billion-year journey. That story is part of what they are. #GIA #HopeDiamond #MauraGems #NaturalDiamonds
