Hot Diamonds has announced that its sales through CMJ member retail partners grew by 41% for Q1 2026.

Head of sales Andrew Lewis explained: “We work as closely as possible with the CMJ and it’s fantastic to see this collaboration deliver healthy growth for January to March 2026. The CMJ Trade Event in March helped us engage with both CMJ members and new potential retail partners from outside the group [at the Access show]. Interest in our brands was positive, and the show was an overall success for us.”

Hot Diamonds also recently announced the launch of its new brand, Ava & Sky, later this summer. Ava & Sky is a women’s PVD plate stainless-steel brand, which allows consumers to access bold and fashion-forward designs for under £100.

Head of commerce Adryan Cresswell added: “We believe Ava & Sky is the right brand at the right time. With silver becoming more elite in 2026, the accessible luxury consumer will need an alternative to silver in the £30 to £100 price band. Ava & Sky is designed to fill this gap with jewellery that retains its beauty effortlessly. Its waterproof and sweatproof attributes are exactly what the Gen-Z consumer wants – jewellery they never have to take off and that stays beautiful.”
