About

I am Editor and Publisher of Jewellery Outlook, a global digital jewellery trade magazine read by retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and designers. Jewellery Outlook promotes international jewellery trade fairs, such as Vicenzaoro, INHORGENTA Munich, the India International Jewellery Show (IIJS), Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair, Istanbul Jewelry Show, GemGeneve, and the Jewellery Show, as well as suppliers, including Rosy Blue, Venus Jewel, Domino Jewellery, Just Diamonds and Andre Michael. I was the PR and media communications consultant for Watch & Jewellery Initiative 2030 (WJI 2030), which is backed by Cartier and Kering, until February 2024. I am a contributor to Rapaport News, Rapaport Magazine and jewelryconnoisseur.net, which focus on diamonds. I have been a gold market columnist for The Jeweller magazine, published by the National Association of Jewellers (NAJ), and for retailer PureJewels, and I write monthly industry outlook articles for the NAJ. I am a contributor to Retail Jeweller magazine, usually about the gold market and trade fairs. I am an occasional presenter on The Jewellery Channel (TJC), a jewellery home shopping TV channel (Freeview channel 22) in the UK. I was the Communications Director of Singapore-based Gembridge, a digital coloured gemstones and jewellery trading platform, from October 2020 to November 2022. I have provided editorial support to Bangkok-based PR group Asia Life and the International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA) in Thailand. I won Thailand's Friend Award 2020, granted by the Commerce Ministry for my support to Thai gem and jewellery exports via my digital magazine Jewellery Outlook. I have been a contributor and editor of Vicenza Fair's Trend Book for several years. I have moderated panel discussions for the World Jewellery Confederation (CIBJO) and for Vicenzaoro's Trendvisionforecasting, and have contributed to Vicenzaoro's magazine VO+ Jewels & Luxury. I supported communications work for CIBJO at its Congress in Jaipur in 2023 and will do so again at the next CIBJO Congress in November 2024. I have completed bespoke research assignments for Vicenzaoro, and for the UK's Company of Master Jewellers (CMJ) relating to gemstone and jewellery markets. I have supported the PR and communications of Italy-based luxury market intelligence agency The Futurist, Birmingham-based Domino Jewellery, Hatton Garden-based diamond jewellery supplier Andre Michael Ltd., and Birmingham-based loose diamonds and jewellery wholesaler Just Diamonds.
