What do today’s couples want in a ring? The September-October issue of Rapaport Magazine takes a close look at the bridal-jewelry segment of the market.
Sonia Esther Soltani speaks to retailers and dealers about how the market is evolving, while Kate Matthams delivers a guide to the latest engagement-ring trends. And it wouldn’t be a bridal jewelry special in 2025 without a feature on the year’s most talked-about ring: Taylor Swift’s.
Elsewhere in this edition, Ming Liu sits down with Chaumet CEO Charles Leung to learn how he’s reimagining the future of the heritage jewelry house. Kim Parker reports back from Europe on the summer’s high-jewelry launches and what they say about wider industry trends. And luxury jeweler Suzanne Syz explains why she has put her entire collection on the blockchain.
Marketing is a key focus in this issue. Besides looking at the ways retailers are framing new bridal collections, we hear from Isabella Yan on how the public image of diamonds is evolving, while Kate Youde unearths four digital strategies that jewelers are employing to boost engagement online. Plus, our Under 30s rising star, Haley Poag of PR firm Mega Mega Projects, shares how she liaises with celebrity stylists to put her clients’ jewels in the spotlight.
On the gemstone front, we look at the turquoise trend in today’s jewelry, and our newest writer, Amy Wakeham, investigates the challenges facing opal miners in the Australian Outback.
We also profile New England retailer Day’s Jewelers and discuss its latest opening in Salem, New Hampshire. Author Ruth Peltason tells us why Tiffany & Co. remains a legend of the estate jewelry scene, and Sotheby’s talks about its new bespoke high-jewelry service.
