SPOTLIGHT 市场聚焦 GEMSWORLD | 32 | 2025 “While large stones have always been popular in the Middle Eastern market, the Ambani wedding really pushed demand for these larger emeralds, creating a stronger market for them,” revealed Livian. Belmont’s Ribeiro, meanwhile, observes notable buyer preference for smaller stones, typically under 5 carats. Brazilian emeralds have a vivid green hue that makes them particularly appealing for fine jewellery and engagement pieces due to their consistent colour and clarity, he noted. “India and the Middle East often favour larger stones with rich colour, but the quality and consistency of Brazilian emeralds have made them a favourite across a variety of sizes. Demand in these regions is particularly strong for vibrant greens, which are culturally prized in those markets,” Ribeiro explained. Demand trends The emerald market is likewise seeing greater variety and versatility, with beads, cabochons and carvings increasingly making their presence felt in luxury jewellery collections. In its Nature Sauvage High Jewellery Collection, Cartier reinforces the crocodile theme of its Sibaya necklace with 45 sugarloaf emeralds and a 7.96-carat drop emerald. And among the highlights of Bulgari’s Aeterna High Jewellery Collection is the Monete Aeterna Augustus Emerald sautoir featuring 149 emerald beads and 80 buff-top emeralds. Emerald dealer Geminent sets itself apart from competitors through its focus on custom cuts like cabochon carvings, beads and drops. These distinctive cuts add value to the gems, giving them a unique aesthetic that appeals to a niche market of collectors and jewellers seeking something beyond traditional faceted stones. “We have a long family history in the emerald trade, originating from Jaipur, India. I am the 10th generation, so it is a legacy that has been passed down to me,” shared Rawat. “Our emeralds have an old-world charm. This love for special cuts is deeply ingrained in our business philosophy.” Although demand for such unique cuts is not yet mainstream, Rawat said more and more people are starting to recognise that there is more to gemstones than facets. Those who own gems with traditional cuts often want to diversify their collections, he continued. The rise of new markets for emeralds, specifically in Asia, is also a welcome development. India and Thailand, for example, are growing significantly. Rawat said, “There appears to be a strong appreciation for carved animals in India, partly due to cultural and religious significance. We specialise in Mughal-style carving. The intricate patterns and craftsmanship are rooted in Indian heritage, and highly skilled artisans are required to bring these carvings to life, making each stone more unique and appealing.” Meanwhile, Sharabany highlighted a trend towards providing added value for consumers. This can be done by taking the time to study the gem and carefully cut the rough to bring out its true potential, instead of simply rushing to mass-produce goods. “There has been a huge emphasis on quality in all parts of the supply chain. Exquisiteness and beauty matter. Precision and excellent execution in jewellery production are more important now than ever before. People who buy an emerald need to be able to trust their suppliers that they are receiving excellent goods and getting their money’s worth,” he said.祖母绿是奢华和地位的象征，贵乎其稀有性和美丽 独特的内含物，令名人和皇室成员的珠宝珍藏更 加翠绿欲滴。祖母绿主要产自哥伦比亚，其他产 地为赞比亚、巴西、俄罗斯、巴基斯坦、埃塞俄比亚和阿富汗。 纽约高端哥伦比亚祖母绿贸易商Neli Gems Corp的创 始人Sam Livian表示，祖母绿的绿散发迷人光彩，备受世人 尊崇。 他指出：“祖母绿的色调平静舒缓，代表着期盼与希望。 璀璨的钻石在遠处已光芒四射，但红宝石和蓝宝石往往在 弱光下显得暗哑失色。然而，祖母绿不论遠近都无损其亮 度，黑夜里尤其诱人。” 供应状况 一些贸易商指出，祖母绿在珠宝行业的地位依旧超 然，深受人们喜爱。巴西祖母绿矿商Belmont Group的主席 Marcelo Ribeiro表示：“在高消费需求和行业供应链的共同 推动下，祖母绿正在市场进占重要席位。” 与其他彩色宝石不同，祖母绿的供应量持续稳定。巴西 Belmont公司的矿场和哥伦比亚Fura Gems的科斯奎兹矿 (Coscuez)都是可靠稳当的优质宝石来源。 当前钻石产业放缓和需求下降，是推动祖母绿行业的另 一个关键。珠宝商和消费者都开始物色其他宝石，而祖母绿 就是他们的首选。 祖母绿凭借其鲜艳色彩和文化意义，继续在高级珠宝界 大放异彩，吸引寻求传统钻石替代品的人士，因而有机会在 高端市场占有更大份额。 Ribeiro指出，巴西祖母绿的产量缺乏弹性，意味着需求 增长可能很快就会导致价格上涨。他解释：“祖母绿矿非常 稀有，产量也有限，加上消费者兴趣日浓，预示祖母绿有可 能成为高级珠宝中更有价值的元素。” Emerald drop earrings by Neli Gems Corp Neli Gems Corp的祖母绿垂坠式耳环
