Stillorgan Shopping Centre has been re-named Stillorgan Village, and to celebrate the changes taking place there was a fabulous fashion show organised to let everyone know what quality brands and stores are in the Village.
Rocks are so pleased to see the new facelift within the shopping centre and we were delighted to be part of the fashion show also! All the models looked amazing in the clothes and accessories.
Michael, Victor and Robert Rock attending a CK Party at Baselworld 2012
Baselworld is the world’s largest watch and jewellery trade fair for watch and jewellery enthusiasts, offering up everything from popularly-priced mass market peices to exquisite one off’s – and Rocks Jewellers were there to ensure our customers will be getting the most on trend, best quality and most popular brands and products on the market today.
“Overall the experience was amazing” says Robert Rock, “ We got to see first hand what’s going to be happening down the line in jewellery and watches and we are happy to report Rocks Jewellers are ahead of the game and in position to deliver everything that the customer will want.”
Some of the feedback from the show was as follows:-
For jewellery, Rocks Jewellers noticed some real trends emerging at the fair and the good news is these are all available at Rocks Jewellers. Some of the most important trends included:
Blue. The colour blue coordinates well with the colour of the year for the fashion houses which is orange. From sapphire blue, aquamarine and topaz, Rocks have many of the items in store including Links of London, Tresor Paris, Thomas Sabo, Pandora and Rocks.
Jade. Pandora unveiled nephrite jade pieces in a collection of pendants, rings and earrings. All very unique and apparently their popularity is due to grow and grow this year so watch this space. Also one of our own – a stunning vintage Jade peice from Rocks also fits the bill.
Orange. The Pantone Colour Institute’s Colour of the Year was evident at the high and low ends — from topaz, garnets to cz’s — and should continue to grow in popularity throughout 2012. Thomas Sabo and Tresor Paris really have gotten hold of this trend.
Pearls. From freshwater to cultured, pearls are becoming a prevalent choice for focal points in jewellery. Rocks Jewellers Chic Collection has developed a collection that satisfies this trend really well with attractive pricing coupled with exceptional quality and choice. Check them out! Let’s not forget Links of London and Paul Costelloe who have also done a great job introducing pearls into their collections.
One-Of-A-Kinds. People love uniqueness and while many of the most popular brands cannot gaurantee uniqueness some of the larger jewellery houses can, as statement peices. We at Rocks have so many unique peices due to have an unrivalled vintage and antique collection in store and online.
One standout watch brand is Seiko, with their new Solar watch, the impressive timepiece, powered by solar cells in the dial eliminating the need for batteries, can adjust itself to the time and location of the world’s 39 time zones at the gentle push of a button, thanks to signals from at least four GPS satellites, which the watch is always in contact. It is the first timepiece able to adapt immediately to all of the world’s time zones, wherever the wearer travels. That’s why Seiko calls it “the first global watch.”
“Overall we were delighted to be part of the fair and it will help us ensure we are ahead of the game when it comes to delivering the best jewellery to our customers now and way into the future.”

Born and raised in France, designer Maeve Keenan trained with Cartier for years before moving to Ireland to both reconnect with her heritage, and make some connections of her own. The mix of cultures enables her to draw upon the vast breadth of traditions of both countries. Studying History of Art has led to design this capsule collection that reaches back to a period when Ireland was more central to European culture than mere geography might suggest. A pinnacle of world culture was achieved when the Book of Kells, in which Maeve found the main inspiring motif, the ‘Tree of Life’, and decided to mix it with an Art Nouveau twist. With these beautiful pieces of jewellery, you can now wear the union of great traditions of art that meet across thousands of miles and hundreds of years.
At Rocks Jewellers you can see Maeve’s amazing inaugural collection, Caora in both of our stores, Stillorgan Shopping Centre and Grafton Street, as well as online at http://www.rocks.ie/brand.php?id=13 . These unique hand crafted, Irish made pieces will be a fabulous gift for a loved one this Christmas.
