Reading Time: 3 minutes For nearly a decade, jewelry retail has been defined by restraint. Delicate chains, whisper-thin stackables, and tiny bezel-set stones quietly dominated cases. But the market data shaping 2025 tells a very different story. Maximalism is not returning as a trend cycle — it is emerging as a response to how today’s customers now buy, express identity, and define value. The first driver is demographic. Gen Z and Millennials do not wear jewelry to blend in. They wear it to be seen. Their purchases are shaped by how pieces photograph, how they appear on social feeds, and how effectively they communicate personality. A sculptural ring or thick link chain does something a fine stackable cannot: it stops the scroll. Visibility creates relevance, which drives purchase behavior. The second driver is accessibility. Lab-grown diamonds and modern casting technologies have dramatically lowered the cost of scale. Larger stones, bolder settings, and heavier silhouettes a...

Reading Time: 6 minutes For the January chapter of Time Well Spent, we visit Ed Ruscha at his studio in Los Angeles, California.  One of the most important living painters, Ed Ruscha has spent his career building a distinct and groundbreaking visual language. Drawing from the streets of Los Angeles, the charged nature of words, and the cool restraint of Pop and Conceptualism, he has revolutionized painting. Time has granted Ruscha a lifetime of play and experimentation, and noticing the magic in the mundane becomes a practice in itself. The longevity, curiosity, and consistency in Ruscha’s practice embody the very idea of Time Well Spent. Raised in Oklahoma City, but captivated by California from a childhood visit, Ruscha arrived in Los Angeles with an infatuation that never left him. He attended art school at the Chouinard Art Institute and found he was not drawn to the dominant tide of Abstract Expressionism. Instead, it was Jasper Johns’s assemblage “Target with Four F...
