Introduction to the gemstone watch industry

The watch industry is all about passion and branding. Usually, watches and Jewelry are talked about together because they are classified as the same category: Luxury. Watches are worn usually as a lifestyle option or a status signal. If someone wears a Cartier, their lifestyle and status is looking upon accordingly. In today’s article we will discuss all Gemstone’s role in the watch industry to reflect on Gemstone watches and also slightly on how to distinguish your watch business by the use of natural gemstones.
The use of gemstones is quite clear in the watch industry. There are several uses of the gemstone itself for the watchmakers. Some of the uses of gemstones in these gemstone watches are:

1. Teal Sapphire Watch:

Teal Sapphire Baguettes
Melee sizes : 4×3, 3×2, 4×2
Origin: Australian

2. Gemstones around the watch dial as small stones, most commonly used as Bagettes, Rounds, or Squares (Tappered and normal squares). According to research and our 23 years old experience, sapphires are the #1 selling gemstones as stones around the watch dials.

3. Watch the dials themselves being made of a Gemstone.

4. The crown of the watch (part which is being used to change the time of the watch)

There are some other creative ways to use gemstones but due to copyright reasons, we are not allowed to disclose other creative ways of using the gemstones. We totally respect the NDA’s we sign in support of Navneet Gems’ CSR habit.
According to VOGUE, the recent Basel show in 2017, some of the watches that stood out were:

• The Happy Diamonds watch by Chopar, which has a mother of pearl face. The rarity of these gemstone watches stand in the availability: only 150 available, limited edition.

• Le Marche des Merveilles watch by Gucci, which has a 100% natural gemstone malachite face. The beauty lies in its color, the natural malachite of this size is a difficult and rare gemstone itself due to the big size of this gemstone.

One of the reasons why Gemstone watches with dials of being of gemstones can make your watch company stand out is because the Gemstones of this dial size are rare. According to Navneet Gem’s research, 99.70% of the gemstone jewelry consists of gemstones that are below 15 mm. This data was gathered by the help of studying 773 pieces of jewelry and coming up with a 99.70% figure. The reason is natural gemstones are easy to find in rough form for the smaller sizes on a general note. So if these gemstone watches have dials that are 25 mm or above, those are rare dinosaurs. So, one of the ways to separate your watch brand is by having one of these rare gemstones in your collection to separate yourself from the crowd.
