Announcing the launch of the luxurycommentator.com

London DE are proud to announce the launch of the industry blog and news channel, Luxury Commentator:

 

Luxury Commentator will combine industry opinion and comment across the entire luxury market with in depth analysis of the gemstone and jewellery sector in particular.  We will produce some of the content in house but we aim to encourage journalists and other industry stakeholders to participate as much as possible, to give a rounded view.  Luxury Commentator will engage with its audience via the major social media platforms as well as its SEO optimised, interactive website.  We are already in talks with potential contributors from the world of jewellery, fashion, classic cars and antiques, both in the UK and overseas.  We see this as a crucial step in providing a level of informative education and understanding to our customers and potential customers worldwide, drawing attention to and discussing the major issues of our times, including responsible sourcing, ethics and environmentally sustainable practices.

London DE is the UK’s leading bespoke jeweller specialising in coloured gemstones, with unique relationships at the very top of the gemstone supply chains.  We focus on the ‘big three’ (ruby, sapphire, emerald), as well as diamond.  We have recently taken on new staff with Chinese, Spanish and French language skills in order to expand our international focus across countries and territories that have hitherto not been targeted by our major competitors.  We employ a ‘clicks-and-bricks’ business model, combining the functionality of an eCommerce website with a team of sales consultants and a sales office in the heart of central London’s Hatton Garden jewellery district.  Our hybrid approach enables us to win sales both business to business and business to consumer, whilst maintaining healthy margins and low fixed costs.

Forget Startups: Why Magnetic Alliance is Betting on “Boring” Mid-Market Turnarounds

While Australia’s venture capital scene spent years chasing unprofitable tech startups and speculative high-growth plays, Mark Lim was quietly taking a radically different path. The Managing Partner of Magnetic Alliance Capital sees the nation’s richest investment opportunities hiding in plain sight: inside thousands of unglamorous, profitable, but operationally sluggish mid-market businesses. Speaking on Wholesale Investor’s […]

The asset class where the market has no vote

Litigation funding returns are decided in a courtroom, not a cycle. Knightsbridge’s Head of Capital is careful to call that a different risk rather than a lower one, and his answer to it is spread, not concentration. Most alternative assets still answer to something. Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]

The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not

Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
