Jewelry News in Brief: Gellner, Yoko London, and Korloff

Three jewelry news stories cover everything from modern men’s bracelets to London pearl art to the expansion of a French brand: Gellner is expanding its Bold collection, Yoko London is showcasing its current lines at Fashion Week, and Korloff is expanding its presence in Germany and Austria.

Gellner Bold: Tahitian Pearls for Men’s Wrists

Gellner is expanding its Bold men’s collection with bracelets that combine natural materials with Tahitian cultured pearls and precious metals. One design pairs brown-marbled wooden beads with a dark pearl and gold spacers set with diamonds. A second design features black-marbled mother-of-pearl.

The collection’s star motif also appears as a platinum sphere set with brilliant-cut diamonds within the dark mother-of-pearl band. The design is intentionally close-fitting and understated, yet derives its presence from contrasts in materials and the interplay of matte and glossy surfaces.

Yoko London: Modern Pearls for London Fashion Week

Yoko London uses London Fashion Week to showcase its latest jewelry collections for editorial shoots and runway appearances. The brand remains known for combining extraordinary pearls with diamonds and distinctly contemporary settings.

These pieces take the pearl out of its traditional context. Asymmetrical designs, movable elements, and bolder volumes make them a prominent feature of modern evening and red-carpet looks.

Korloff: Black and White Diamonds as the Brand’s Signature

Korloff is increasingly focusing its attention on Germany and Austria. The company, founded in Paris in 1978, plans to establish a select network of leading jewelers in both markets. Since 2023, the brand has been led by François Arpels.

The focus is on jewelry collections whose identity is defined by striking shapes and bold contrasts. Black and white diamonds are often combined; the designs emphasize clearly recognizable silhouettes rather than ornamental restraint.

This design language ranges from rings and earrings to necklaces and is complemented by women’s watches. For the relaunch in Germany and Austria, therefore, it is not a single product that is key, but rather a recognizable overall image that combines French jewelry tradition with a graphic, internationally appealing aesthetic.
