But that isn’t the case for 3 senior staff at Loloma Jewellers who brought home a wealth of knowledge from the Hearts on Fire University in Las Vegas last month. The annual four-day event attracted 800 international jewellery experts who learnt why Hearts on Fire has been scientifically proven as the world’s most perfectly cut diamond. Professional guest speakers and trainers spoke of how Hearts on Fire diamonds are first selected, then cut using market-leading technology, to perform, sparkle and project more light than any other diamonds on the market today. The timing of the university could not have been better as Loloma Jewellers is now stocking its largest ever range of Hearts on Fire diamonds, from engagement and bridal ranges to fashion pieces. The Las Vegas experience followed another
major international venture for Loloma Jewellers, whose buying team of 4 attended the world’s biggest jewellery fair in Hong Kong. It became clear at the fair that pearls are set to become the hottest trend in jewellery with their popularity soaring on international catwalks and celebrity red carpets. Loloma Jewellers has prepared for the growing demand by ordering in Townsville’s largest range of pearls heading into the Christmas season. While a majority of pearls were sourced from Japan, customers can also choose from an extensive range of Australian South Sea Pearls in white, yellow, grey and black as well as cultured and fresh water options. Other new jewelllery items on show combined black and white diamonds and coloured gem stones. By attending and buying direct from the Hong Kong Fair, many of the pearls and gem stones have hit the shelves at Loloma Jewellers well
before going on display in some capital cities. Better still, savings made through direct purchasing will be passed on to customers in each of the four Loloma Jewellers showrooms. While everything possible was done to source items to suit all tastes and budgets, Loloma Jewellers also has the capacity to design and produce custom-made jewellery. Angelo, a qualified diamond setter and jewellery designer, has developed a loyal following for his role in creating hundreds of unique and beautiful masterpieces. Angelo works closely with customers to design and create their own style of rings, bracelets, necklaces and keepsakes, incorporating the individual ideas suggested by his clients. In addition, Angelo specialises in restoring and remodelling keepsake items that have been passed down through family members for generations.
