💎 Thailand’s Jewellery Stars Shine at UltraLuxe

As UltraLuxe enters its fourth chapter, Thailand’s independent jewellery brands step into the spotlight. The article explores how they showcase craft, culture, and contemporary design on a global stage.

Key Takeaways:

  • 🌏 Regional Stage for Thai Talent: UltraLuxe gives Thai independent jewellers a regional stage to meet collectors, buyers, and press beyond Bangkok’s familiar circles.

  • 🎨 Craftsmanship Meets Contemporary Design: Brands blend traditional techniques with modern silhouettes, showing Thailand’s jewellery scene moves beyond tourist trinkets into serious design.

  • 💎 High Jewellery with Local Stories: Collections highlight Thai culture, motifs, and gemstones, turning each piece into a narrative rather than a generic luxury ornament.

  • 🤝 Boost for Brand Visibility: Presence at UltraLuxe raises international awareness, opening doors to collaborations, stockists, and bespoke commissions across Asia.

🛳️ Hapag-Lloyd Cruises Simplifies Fares with a Two-Tier Model

Hapag-Lloyd Cruises is retiring its three-tier system and moving to just two fares, PLATINUM and SILVER, for all new bookings from December 2, 2025. The shift aims to make pricing clearer while giving guests more flexibility to rebook or cancel without losing the hallmarks of its luxury experience.

Key Takeaways:

  • 💳 Two Fares, Clearer Choices: The old three-tier model gives way to PLATINUM and SILVER, designed to simplify decisions for guests and travel advisors.

  • 🔁 PLATINUM Adds Flexibility: PLATINUM guests get one free date change up to 90 days before departure and can cancel up to 180 days out for a small fee.

  • 🛟 SILVER Keeps Core Inclusions: SILVER maintains existing service levels, with Hapag-Lloyd assigning cabins and later access to shore excursion bookings.

  • 🥂 Onboard Perks Stay Generous: Both fares continue to include champagne on arrival, a daily restocked minibar, 24-hour room service, and full-board gourmet dining.

🦞 Coconut Grove’s Best Waterfront Seafood Spots

Seafood lovers are flocking to Coconut Grove for marina views, tiki bars, and garden patios with serious chef-driven menus. This guide spotlights five waterfront restaurants locals love, and visitors plan their trips around.

Key Takeaways:

  • 🦪 Bayshore Club Leads: Bayshore Club is the top pick with marina views, sustainable sourcing, a chef-driven coastal menu, and fire pits that feel like a mini vacation.

  • 🌳 Glass & Vine Charm: Glass & Vine offers a scenic Peacock Park patio, bay glimpses, local ingredients, and versatility for brunch, lunch, or dinner with a relaxed vibe.

  • 🍹 Monty’s Tiki Classic: Monty’s Raw Bar blends a classic tiki atmosphere, live music, a strong raw bar, and dockside access, keeping locals and boaters returning.

  • 🍝 Sapore di Mare and Peacock Garden: Sapore di Mare and Peacock Garden serve Mediterranean cuisine, with romantic terraces and leafy patios that showcase Coconut Grove’s relaxed, village-like character.

One last thing

UltraLuxe gives Thai jewellers a rare chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with regional heavyweights and meet serious collectors, buyers, and press. By telling stories through Thai motifs, materials, and techniques, these brands show how high jewellery can carry a sense of place as strongly as any destination.

It is the kind of spotlight that can quietly shift a country’s reputation from souvenir stop to serious design capital.
