Gemfields partnered with several designers, creating two incredible charm necklaces--one in all ruby and one in all emerald--here I'm wearing the emerald version in all its glory, along with earrings by Ana Khouri, matching rings by Sylva & Cie, and enamel portrait ring by Holly Dyment.

Another close-up shot of the Gemfields emerald charm necklace -- along with a pair of stunning earrings designed by Holly Dyment Jewelry using Gemfields rubies & emeralds.
This necklace and pair of earrings were designed by Buddha Mama Jewelry for the Gemfields collaboration. Feeling glamorous AF.
Zoe Chicco was also a part of the Gemfields collaboration--she chose to design in all emeralds and these earrings prove to be both gorgeous and easy to wear! Right photo features another designer, Retrouvaí who used Gemfields emeralds in her signature designs.
Jane Taylor Jewelry chose Gemfields rubies for their collaborative pieces--this ring is just glorious, and they've also outfitted some of their classics in rubies like their stacking rings and bangles.
And here we have some more designers who were involved in the Gemfields collaboration -- Nancy Newberg transformed pearls with sticks of Gemfields emeralds, Holly Dyment's portrait ring again, and two matching rings by Sylva & Cie, one in ruby and one in emerald.

Another year is in the books and as the 2017 Las Vegas Jewelry Week comes to a close, a few obvious standouts are buzzing in my mind. The first being how important and vital colored gemstones have become over the years, with bold colors being prominent in setting pieces and designers apart from one another. That's where Gemfields steps in as leader in authority, paving the way we define sustainable and ethical in the gem world. Their rubies from Mozambique and emeralds from Zambia have a clean past, present and future, and they are setting the example while spreading the word.
Gemfields continued their collaboration with MUSE (read about 2016) changing things up a bit by releasing even more designs than last year--over 75 pieces, including 75 special ruby and emerald charms created by a plethora of designers hand-chosen by Gemfields. The designers come from all different backgrounds, areas of the world and include both vets and new/emerging artisans. Designers include: Buddha Mama, Daria De Koning, Elena Votsi, Faberge, HOORSENBUHS, Jade Trau, Jane Taylor Jewelry, Jemma Wynne, Kismet By Milka, Margery Hirschey, Maria Canale, Marian Maurer, Nancy Newberg, Nikos Koulis, Paul Morelli, Retrouvai, Roule & Co, Sarah Hendler, Sylva & Cie, TAP by Todd Pownell, Vanleles, Yasuko Azuma, Yossi Harari, Zaiken Jewelry, Zoe Chicco, and MUSE.
Each designer incorporated Gemfields gems, whether it be emeralds or rubies, or both, in his or her own unique aesthetic, and the final outcome is both unique and creative. In order for all the pieces to be accounted for, a map was created by Diamondoodles to help navigate the many designers along with their many locations at Couture. Even I couldn't get to them all, but I did get to view all the above (in photos). Every designer that I did get to speak to was not only extremely proud to be involved in the collaboration, but I feel it was able to push the limits of several, as well as provide some spectacular gemstones that they may otherwise not get to design with.
And that is not all--several of the pieces within the Gemfields x MUSE collaboration are currently purchase-ready through Moda Operandi -- shop them via clicking the photo below.
