Special Jewellery, tomorrow with Il Sole 24 Ore 46 pages of news
Company strategies, the challenges of sustainability and innovation, new markets, but also trends from the world of auctions, the passion for pink diamonds and much more in the Special on the jewellery industry
The most recent investment by Kering Ventures, the French group's venture capital investment division, looks to jewellery and the Chinese market. It has just bought a minority stake in the Chinese brand Borland, which specialises in 24-carat gold jewellery made using ancient techniques in the country. This is further confirmation of the brilliant health of the jewellery industry, to which the Jewellery Special on newsstands Saturday 6 December as a supplement to Il Sole 24 Ore is dedicated.
Its 46 pages open with an analysis of the market, signed by Giulia Crivelli, which highlights how jewellery is the category most resistant to the general slowdown in luxury purchases, as the balance sheets of the biggest groups in the sector also reveal. Richemont, for example, to which some of the sector's most famous maisons belong, closed the first half of fiscal year 25-26 with revenues up 5% and a fourfold increase in net profit thanks to the excellent performance of its jewellery brands. Not only that: according to the recent Altagamma-Bain Worldwide Luxury Market Monitor, the only segment, among personal luxury goods, to have grown in 2025 and for which a further increase is expected in 2026 is jewellery (+6%).
In the Special on tomorrow's newsstands, therefore, the present is outlined and the future of the industry is assessed, with the focus on the companies' innovations, including historical products and innovative collections, new materials, investments in retail and new technologies. An in-depth analysis is dedicated to the world of auctions, with a focus on the December appointments in New York but also on the increasingly strong focus on the Middle East, with ad hoc events; then there is an analysis of investments in the various sales channels and the evolution of jewellery stores, whose widespread diffusion is a peculiarity of our country.
In addition, the Special offers a focus on the sustainability of the industry, with a report from the convention in Paris of Cibjo-The world jewellery confederation. Finally, four pages are dedicated to the latest from the maisons, edited by the editorial staff of How to Spend It magazine, with the sense of preciousness also extending to design, with a selection of high-end furnishings, and to the world of wellness and cosmetics, including niche fragrances and wellness experiences.
