TOP 10 JEWELS FROM BASELWORLD 2014

I attended BASELWORLD, The Watch and Jewellery Show. With more than 1500 brands, Baselworld is the most well known and exclusive events on the jewellery calendar. Filled with brilliance, sparkle and shine, our visit to Baselworld 2014 was one to remember!

Liza, GEMOLOGUE’s founder, together with Katerina Nikitina, a professional photographer and Fotourism co-founder, spent an unforgettable day at Baselworld.

Our 8am morning flight from London was delayed but it did not spoil the excitement! Once we had arrived, the morning jewellery hunt began with the most exciting diamond dealers and jewellery brands in the world.

BASELWOLRD

The third pavilion at Baselworld was full of the biggest diamonds I had ever encountered since my days at GIA. Filled with the most stunning of pink, blue, yellow and type IIa diamonds that make up less than 1% of all diamonds mined. Type IIa diamonds often appear whiter, brighter, and more crystalline than a D grade and are referred to as Golconda-like or Super D.

My companion Katerina once had a moment of visible weakness over the sheer brilliance at The Kremlin’s State Diamond Fund in Moscow! There was almost too much sparkle for the both of us to take in!
