Episode 165: Brilliant Earth, CBG, Metal Refining, Watch Woes
Episode 165
Wednesday, 11 February, 2026

JCK editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky and news director Rob Bates talk about Brilliant Earth's new showroom in Beverly Hills, which Victoria had just visited, and what she learned about what the 2026 bridal customer is looking for and how retailers are meeting that moment. They highlight the brand’s shift toward experiential, hospitality-driven retail and the shifting role of sustainability in consumer decisions. Rob reports on how gold and silver prices are affecting refiners in a surprising way and shares takeaways from the CBG Show in Miami. Finally, the pair discuss the watch market and takeaways from LVMH Watch Week. Title sponsor: De Beers (adiamondisforever.com) Sponsor: Facets of Fire (facetsoffire.com/retailer-testimonials)
