JNA September/ October 2024

FOCUS 焦点 10 | JNA September/October 2024 Favoured for its rich, warm colour and regal appeal, yellow gold has been taking the luxury world by storm. It has dominated fashion runways since the start of the year, with designer brands offering an assortment of mustard-yellow dresses and accessories in their latest collections. The trend has inevitably trickled down to fine jewellery circles as evidenced by a resurgence in demand for yellow gold jewellery. Among the most influential proponents of yellow gold jewellery are major houses who are redefining modern appreciation for the prized metal. In the Flames Chapter of Tiffany & Co’s Blue Book 2024: Tiffany Céleste, yellow gold is a critical component that evokes imagery of solar flares and fiery colours. Yellow gold is also a key element in Messika’s Midnight Sun campaign and in iconic collections from Cartier, Piaget and Boucheron, to name a few. Jewellery manufacturers interviewed by JNA are attesting to this renewed fascination for yellow gold in the trade. Colour of affluence Valenza-based Giloro’s Pierpaolo Cervetti said yellow gold is making a strong comeback this year, following a stellar performance of pink gold. The company, which specialises in 18-karat gold jewellery, mainly sells to Asia and Europe. Giloro’s expertise in yellow gold jewellery manufacturing took centre stage with the launch of its Moonscape Collection earlier this year. Cervetti said, “We use top-quality diamonds of G-H colours and VS clarity grades to add more sparkle to our one-of-a-kind collections.” The challenge, however, is how to grow the business continuously and consistently amid ongoing uncertainties, he noted. | Bernardette Sto.
