Zultanite Wows Jewelry Designers & Buyers

This past week the jewelry world descended on Las Vegas for the annual pilgrimage to this industry's largest US trade shows. JCK and Couture are so big they need their own giant sized convention and ballroom spaces to showcase the jewelry from thousands of exhibitors. Often, these shows are marked by a handful of stories buzzing around the conventions floors. This year, Zultanite was a huge topic of discussion helped in large part by a 96 carat Zultanite stone called the Sultan's Shield. This incredible stone is the center piece of Stephen's latest suite of jewelry featuring Zultanite stones.

To debut this collection, Stephen Webster and Zultanite teamed up to throw a fantastic party at Haze nightclub in the Aria. The Band of Skulls was on hand to provide a rockin' welcome to this amazing suite of jewels. Around 250 guests snacked on delicious food, drank custom Zultanite cocktails, and marveled at Stephen's creation.

Over at John Buechner's booth in JCK, Luxury Brand Group got a first look at the completed Zultanite necklace and ring. In this picture you can actually see how the mixed light is creating several different colors to reflect out of the Zultanite stones. These pieces are fantastic.

Also at JCK, Gavin Linsell, Marketing Director for Zultanite, presented the Mine To Market story of Zultanite with in-depth explanations of the stone's unique physical properties. Of particular interest to the attendees are the ethical and sustainable methods of mining Zultanite along with its absolute rarity. Jewelry designer Evelyn H was gracious enough to come to the presentation and bring along her fantastic men's ring featuring a 12 carat Zultanite stone. Guests were given the opportunity to get an up close look at the piece and see first hand how changing light conditions elicit the color changing properties of Zultanite.

In just under a year, Zultanite has become a favorite stone of top designers like Christian Tse, Rhonda Faber Green, Erica Courtney and Daniel Gibbings. All featured Zultanite jewelry at their booths at Couture and JCK this year. Pictured above are Christian Tse's fantastic Zultanite earrings, ring, and prismatic watches. Each watch contains many specially cut Zultanite baguettes for the face.
