Martin Katz’s atelier anchored the evening at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards, where natural, coloured “desert” diamonds—most notably a Fancy Orangey Pink Moval—were worn by high‑profile attendees and translated red‑carpet visibility directly into market attention. The result: renewed demand for signed, limited‑edition high jewellery and a clear indicator that collectible coloured diamonds are commanding premium pricing on the secondary market.
- Price: Bespoke; pieces available by commission — estimated from high five‑ to seven‑figure values for signature desert diamonds.
- Carat weight: Mixed — accent pavé to single centre stones (estimate ranges vary; many statement stones appear 2+ carats).
- Origin: Natural coloured diamonds (desert tones, yellow–orange–pink range); atelier‑signed and numbered.
- Date: 83rd Golden Globe Awards, January 2026.
“Jewels Like No Other” — the ethos Martin Katz brought to the red carpet, where craftsmanship met cinematic glamour.
Context: Where this sits in 2025 luxury trends
The embrace of intense, naturally coloured diamonds at a major awards ceremony is aligned with three dominant currents that defined 2025: sustainability as provenance, the premium for natural over lab‑grown in certain collectible segments, and sculptural, statement jewellery that reads in photography and film. Martin Katz’s signed pieces—each numbered and crafted in a private Penthouse Atelier—trade on artisanal provenance as much as on gem quality. Tactile cues matter: the stones sit with a vitreous luster against cool white gold, the settings offer a substantial heft that reads on camera and in hand, and the warm orangey‑pink fire punctuates pastel gowns in close‑up frames.
Impact: What US retailers and investors should do
For retailers: position desert diamonds as collectible inventory rather than commodity stock. That means prioritising signed, limited‑edition works; tightening provenance documentation; and training sales teams to sell sensory detail—vitreous luster, colour saturation, and substantial heft—alongside certification. In practical terms, consider consignment arrangements for one‑off pieces, curated trunk shows timed to awards cycles, and targeted outreach to private clients who value numbered editions.
For investors: the Golden Globes visibility is a demand signal. Natural, intensely coloured diamonds have outperformed expectations where rarity, provenance and celebrity provenance converge. Expect secondary‑market bids to outstrip primary pricing for the most distinctive desert stones. Risk management: secure independent appraisals, maintain insurance that recognises collector value, and factor in liquidity timelines—these are collectible assets, not quick flips.
Why this matters
Martin Katz has spent three decades converting red‑carpet moments into market momentum. When a Katz piece appears on a leading actor, the visual narrative becomes part of the jewellery’s provenance; it accrues cultural capital that converts to measurable premiums. For US market players, the takeaway is straightforward: invest in provenance, present tactile quality, and treat coloured natural diamonds as strategic inventory that strengthens both retail margins and long‑term collector demand.
Photographs from the evening underline the point: in close‑up frames, the desert diamonds’ warm fire and the settings’ meticulous handwork are not incidental—they are the product, and now the market is pricing them accordingly.
