Jewelry-News Briefing: Colored Gemstones, Modern Icons, and New Trends in Men’s Jewelry
With its array of colorful sapphires, iconic jewelry classics, and the growing interest in men’s jewelry, this week once again highlights the diversity of modern jewelry culture. The new releases on display range from wearable fine jewelry collections to bold pieces for men, highlighting just how strongly individuality and personality shape design today.
Hulchi Belluni focuses on lightness and practicality for everyday use
The Belgian jewelry brand Hulchi Belluni is one of the houses that consciously combines luxury with wearability. Its focus is on creations made of 18-karat gold and diamonds, which are characterized by flowing forms and exceptional comfort.
Current highlights include the Tresore, Bouli, Cubini, and Sunburst collections. While Tresore features organic lines and feminine elegance, Cubini focuses on geometric shapes and modern clarity. Sunburst, on the other hand, interprets light and movement through a dynamic design language that reflects the brand’s Italian roots.

What all the collections have in common is their commitment to creating high-quality jewelry not just for special occasions, but as a daily accessory.
A. Odenwald is expanding the Halo collection
With Halo, A. Odenwald presents a collection that, despite its relatively short history, already shows the potential to become a future classic.
The focus is on carefully selected sapphires, each encircled by a delicate halo of 18-karat gold. The design is both minimalist and striking—a combination that has been one of the brand’s defining characteristics for many years.
What is particularly striking is the focus on the essentials. Even the versions entirely set with brilliant-cut diamonds retain a understated elegance and consistently place the colored gemstones at the center of attention.
The collection includes necklaces, rings, and earrings in a wide range of colors, as well as pieces in white, yellow, and rose gold. With this collection, A. Odenwald once again underscores its exceptional expertise in working with colored gemstones and its position as a German manufacturer with a high degree of creative independence.
Cartier adds a splash of color to an icon
Few jewelry designs are as closely linked to Cartier’s history as the LOVE bangle. Now, the Maison is expanding this classic with a colorful special edition, featuring gemstones in the colors of the rainbow.
A total of six new variations reinterpret the iconic design in different ways. Three models are entirely set with pink sapphires, blue sapphires, or tsavorite garnets and are accented by ten diamonds. Other versions combine aquamarines, tanzanites, amethysts, tsavorites, and sapphires to create harmonious color gradients.
Cartier: LOVE Bangle
What is particularly noteworthy here is not so much the reinterpretation of a familiar design as the consistent shift toward color that is currently evident among numerous jewelry houses. While diamonds continue to play a central role, colored gemstones are gaining increasing prominence and are increasingly becoming the focal point of a design.
With its new LOVE bangles, Cartier embraces this trend and combines it with one of the most iconic jewelry designs in the luxury world.
Fullord showcases new aspects of men’s jewelry
Fullord: Jewelry from the Ghost Collection
While men’s jewelry was long limited primarily to watches and classic cufflinks, the segment is increasingly evolving into a distinct category within the luxury market. The Geneva-based jewelry brand Fullord is among the companies actively shaping this trend.
The focus is on three collections, each with its own distinct character. The Ghost Collection interprets modern masculinity through clean lines and architectural forms. The Maji Masai Collection combines nautical elements with the brand’s signature spear motif and explores the themes of adventure and travel. The Masai Collection, in turn, serves as a modern talisman and references the Maison’s African roots.

Fullord was founded in Geneva in 2019. The brand positions itself at the intersection of fine jewelry and high jewelry and embraces a sculptural design language that combines Swiss design with Italian craftsmanship. With approximately 20 international retail locations, the company is continuously expanding its presence in the luxury segment.
Jewelry is becoming more personal
What stands out across all four brands is the growing importance of individual stories and identities. Whether it’s A. Odenwald, the everyday elegance of Hulchi Belluni, Cartier’s colorful reinterpretation of an icon, or Fullord’s distinctive men’s collections—the focus is no longer solely on the material, but on the personality of the wearer.
These new products thus reflect a trend that is currently having a major impact on the jewelry industry: jewelry is increasingly seen as an expression of individuality.
