Every year, leading designers, buyers, and media from all corners of the world gather in Las Vegas for Couture, the prestigious jewellery show, where both burgeoning and established brands showcase their latest collections and set the trends for the coming months. This year, designers continued to play with diamonds, bringing a contemporary flair to this classic gemstone through their edgy, yet timeless designs. From Beirut and Athens to New York and Dubai, read on to discover our selection of fine jewellery designers who are making their mark on the global stage.
Nikos Koulis
In 2006, Athenian fine jewellery designer Nikos Koulis launched his namesake brand. Renowned for his captivating designs, reimagined classics and use of unconventional yet exceptional diamond cuts and materials, Koulis consistently pushes boundaries to create pieces that are both visually striking and easy to wear. His most recent collection, Wish, draws inspiration from his childhood memories of making wishes on dandelions and embodies his innovative approach to high jewellery.
Aluminium and black enamel are paired with diamonds and other precious stones to create pieces that are rooted in individuality and characterized by unparalleled craftsmanship. As Koulis explains, 'Exclusivity is key. In a world saturated with homogeneous styles and trends, owning something unique becomes increasingly rare. My jewellery caters to individuals who don't feel the need to conform, but know exactly what they want and share a collector's ethos and aesthetic values.'

Khepri
The sentiment 'age is just a number' rings especially true for Khepri, a relatively young brand that launched in 2023 yet has already made waves in the jewellery industry. Founded by Reema Chopra, who transitioned from a successful banking career to pursue her love of jewellery, gemstones and design, Khepri has quickly gained momentum.
As part of its brand purpose, Khepri is deeply rooted in a philosophy that honours self-expression and transformation, allowing the wearer to feel both classic and cool. In Luna, her latest collection, Chopra features warm-toned, fancy-coloured diamonds that evoke the glow of a romantic candlelit dinner. 'Fancy diamonds in these earthy shades, felt like my skin, but in a diamond,' says Chopra.
Yeprem
Lebanese fine jewellery house Yeprem, founded in 1964, is renowned for its sculptural creations that transform the wearer into a walking diamond-studded masterpiece-each piece is designed to complement the natural curves of the female form. Yeprem aims to empower women through jewellery that is artistic, striking and above all, wearable.
In its latest collection, Arev, which draws its name from the Armenian word for 'sun,' the pieces are sculpted to reflect light in motion, capturing the radiance, strength and life-giving energy of the Yeprem woman. 'Yeprem is not just jewellery-it's transformation. Our designs are for the woman who dares to be seen, who wears power not as a statement, but as her second skin,' says Loutfic Yeprem.
Maison H
After a decade in the diamond trade, South African entrepreneurs Fatima Tayob and Hisham Mahomed, relocated to Dubai where they launched their fine jewellery brand, Maison H, in 2012. Drawing on deep industry knowledge, a discerning eye and a strong brand ethos, Maison H has quickly become a coveted name among celebrities and global style icons.

As part of its latest collection, Maison H has unveiled sculptural pieces in beautifully textured gold that will surely shine on the global stage. 'True artistry in jewellery lies in bold disruption, the core ethos of Maison H Jewels,' says Tayob.
Jade Trau
Fifth-generation diamantaire Jade Lustig launched her fine jewellery brand, Jade Trau, in 2012. Blending vintage-inspired design with contemporary yet edgy elegance, Lustig has cultivated a devoted following and is now expanding in the Middle East later this summer.
Designed to become an extension of the wearer, Lustig's creations lend themselves to a personalised and effortless layered look.

Lebanon's Abbout Productions to receive Locarno's producing award
The production firm will also present two of its movies at Locarno, namely Costa Brava, Lebanon' and 'Memory Box'. Beirut-based production house Abbout Productions, led by Georges Schoucair and Myriam Sassine, will be honoured with the Raimondo Rezzonico Award at the 78th Locarno Film Festival on August 7, 2025. The award, presented by the Municipality of Minusio, recognises outstanding work by independent producers and celebrates Abbout's remarkable contribution to Arab and Lebanese cinema. During the ceremony, Abbout Productions will present two of its most acclaimed titles: Costa Brava, Lebanon by Mounia Akl and Memory Box by Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige. These films exemplify the company's dedication to powerful storytelling and international visibility for regional voices. Since taking the helm of Abbout Productions in 2004 and 2010, respectively, Schoucair and Sassine have played an instrumental role in shaping Lebanon's independent film landscape. Under their leadership, the Beirut-based company has produced a roster of award-winning films that have screened at major international festivals including Venice, Berlin and Cannes. Their portfolio includes works by prominent regional directors such as Ahmad Ghossein, Mohamed Malas, Ghassan Salhab, Oualid Mouannes, Cyril Aris, Ely Dagher, Rana Eid and Myriam El Hajj, whose Diaries from Lebanon premiered in the Berlinale Panorama section in 2024. Beyond production, both Schoucair and Sassine have championed independent cinema through institutional and grassroots efforts. Schoucair was instrumental in the founding and relaunch of Beirut's Metropolis Cinema, a cornerstone venue for arthouse programming in the Middle East. Sassine co-founded the Maskoon Fantastic Film Festival, the only genre-focused film festival in the Arab world, and has been actively involved in regional co-production and training platforms like Aflamuna Connection, which she has managed since 2021. Their work has extended beyond national boundaries. Schoucair supported Jean-Luc Godard's Le Livre d'image and, through the international company Schortcut Films, he and Sassine have co-produced award-winning films by renowned auteurs such as Alain Gomis, Kaouther Ben Hania, Lucrecia Martel and Elia Suleiman. On August 8, Schoucair and Sassine will participate in a public discussion at Forum @Spazio Cinema, moderated by Swiss journalist Philippe Mottaz. The event, organised in collaboration with the ICT4Peace Foundation, reflects the Festival's broader commitment to global dialogue and socially engaged filmmaking. Giona A. Nazzaro, Artistic Director, said: 'The films Abbout have produced are a sign of a society that is vital, alive, and continues to look to the future with dogged confidence. Through their films, Georges and Myriam have been able to tell the story of a country able to come to terms with its history while simultaneously imagining a layered and multifaceted Lebanese identity. They have also launched a great many new talents in front of and behind the camera, helping to give Lebanon a new face, allowing it to meet its potential, and offering a complex portrait of the country that goes far beyond the trivialisations of the violence of war. They have worked tirelessly in the pursuit of a fertile and generous dialogue.' The Raimondo Rezzonico Award, offered by the Municipality of Minusio, was created in 2002 in memory of the man who was President of the Festival from 1981 to 1999. The 78th edition of the Locarno Film Festival will take place from August 6-16, 2025.
