JNA November/December 2023 | 37 INSIGHT 睿智角度 The market for antique and vintage jewellery is enjoying solid growth, with demand and prices rising on the back of greater interest from collectors, jewellery lovers and even younger consumers. According to Ioannis Alexandris, founder and CEO of Gemolithos, prices of rare antique and vintage jewellery, especially those by top jewellers Chaumet, Vever, Lalique and Fouquet, have been on the rise in recent years, while those by celebrated houses like Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels, have always enjoyed steadily high prices. He noted that rare unique pieces with exceptional craftsmanship are always in high demand. Younger generations of consumers are also growing more appreciative of the rarity and beauty of vintage and antique jewellery. “Fortunately, younger customers are increasingly discerning and have greater access to reliable information. Their willingness to research on possible purchases enables them to make informed decisions when buying good-quality vintage and antique jewellery,” Alexandris said. The market is currently gravitating towards jewellery from the 1970s and 1980s due to their wearability and distinct aesthetic, he added. Asia, led by China, is fuelling robust sales in the antique jewellery category, revealed the company official. “China remains strong in the fine antique jewellery segment while Japan and South Korea are quite promising,” added Alexandris. New offerings Gemolithos recently launched a new, one-of-a-kind jewellery line to complement its expansive collection of antique and period jewellery and to broaden its product offerings to clients. The jewellery line is classified into two categories: One that places the gemstone as the core of the jewellery piece and the other, which shines the spotlight on the design and its execution. Also in its portfolio is an everyday jewellery line for customers on the lookout for modern and wearable pieces. Gemolithos likewise expanded its product portfolio to offer natural fancy colour diamonds – a move well-received by its discerning and sophisticated private clients. 收藏家、珠宝爱好者，甚至是年轻的消费者，都对古 董(antique)和近代(vintage)珠宝兴趣渐浓，令需 求和价格日益上涨，市场持续增长。 Gemolithos创办人兼首席执行官Ioannis Alexandris表 示，近年来，稀有的古董和近代珠宝价格一直在攀升，尤其 是顶级珠宝商尚美巴黎、Vever、莱俪和Fouquet的出品，而 卡地亚和梵克雅宝等知名品牌的价格则维持在高水平。 他指出，工艺卓越而稀有独特的作品需求一直甚高，而 年轻一代的消费者也越来越欣赏古董和近代珠宝的稀有度 和美态。 “年轻客户的眼光日趋敏锐，并且拥有更多可靠的资讯 渠道，这一点值得高兴。他们愿意为心仪的近代和古董珠宝 进行研究，在购买时做出明智的决定。”Alexandris表示。 他补充说，1970和1980年代的珠宝易于搭配且独树一 帜，令市场趋之若鹜。 Alexandris透露，以中国为首的亚洲市场正在大力推动 古董珠宝的销售额。“中国在高级古董珠宝领域依然表现强 劲，而日本和韩国也潜力甚高。” 新产品问世 Gemolithos最近推出了独一无二的全新珠宝系列，与琳 琅满目的古董和时代珠宝系列互相辉映，并使产品种类更 多样化。 该系列分为两个类别：一是将焦点放在主石上，二是着 重设计和实践概念。该公司还提供日常首饰系列，专为寻求 富现代感和适合日常穿戴首饰的顾客而设计。 Gemolithos也开始提供天然彩钻首饰，借此扩大其产品 组合，深受眼光独到而品味高尚的私人客户好评。 All jewellery pieces from © Gemolithos 所有珠宝均来自 © Gemolithos Antique and vintage jewellery revival 古董珠宝之复兴 dArsi vi ai nn gmgar or kwetths ai nn tdhyeoaunntgi qe ur eg eannedr av ti ni ot na sg eo fj ecwo ne lsl ue rmy esrescat or er . 亚洲市场与年轻消费者一起推进古董及近代珠宝行业的发展。
