JCK Jewelry Agenda: Week of March 1

By Victoria Gomelsky | February 26, 2026

While the jewelry auctions taking place this week don’t quite rival the May and November “magnificent jewels” sales in Geneva and New York, don’t underestimate them. Between two live auctions in Southern California and an online sale, the hunting promises to be quite good. The same holds true for anyone headed to Paris for market week. Homebound jewelry lovers, tune in to the 32nd annual Actor Awards (formerly the SAG Awards) tonight for a sneak peek of what we can expect from the Oscars red carpet.

LISTEN

The Jewelry District Podcast, Episode 166 (ongoing)

Eddie LeVian of Le Vian with The Jewelry District and De Beers logos — *Eddie LeVian*

In the latest episode of JCK’s podcast, editor-in-chief Victoria Gomelsky and news director Rob Bates interview Eddie LeVian, CEO of Le Vian, who regales them with his family’s history in jewelry dating back to the 1500s. They discuss the pivotal moments that shaped Le Vian’s identity as a brand, including the story behind Chocolate Diamonds (hint: a well-known JCKer plays a part!), and delve into how Le Vian’s trend forecasts started and where the intel behind them comes from. Eddie may even tease some future trends at the end, so listen closely.
