The Olsen Twins Jewelry | Robert Lee Morris

sean — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 14:24:10 +0000

Celebrities Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen have teamed up with jewelry designer Robert Lee Morris to create a line of jewelry for the Olsen’s apparel line called Elizabeth and James. This latest news just confirms the huge trend of celebrities paring up with jewelry designers to create or endorse fine jewelry collections. I’m sure the Ashley and Mary Kate jewelry line will do very well but my favorite celebrity jewelry combination still is Christina Aguilera for Stephen Webster jewelry.

Since we posted the our blog on Carrie Bradshaw’s pearls we have gotten quite a few inquiries on the exact length and size for the pearls. According to the official release from Mikimoto and the sharp eyes of the JRDunn.com buyers who saw the movie, Sarah Jessica Parker’s Mikimoto pearl strand is a 8.5 mm opera length (32 inches) and retails for $11,900.

Christina Aguilera Jewelry | Stephen Webster

sean — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 14:14:19 +0000

Christina Aguilera performed on May 31st in Las Vegas for the first time after her pregnancy at the launch of Stephen Webster’s new sterling silver line of jewelry. Aguilera has always been a huge fan of Webster’s designs and when she was asked to be the ambassador for the brand she happily agreed. This isn’t the only big news happening at Stephen Webster, Terri Eagle who was the head honcho over at David Yurman and later John Hardy, is the new president over at Webster. We think the new management coupled with Christina as the spokesperson is going to be an amazing combination for the brand. What do you think?

Carrie Bradshaw’s Pearls | Mikimoto Long Pearl Strands in Sex and the City

sean — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 15:54:45 +0000

Having just returned from the 2008 JCK Vegas jewelry show I can tell you that pearls were hot but they are about to get even hotter. How do I know this? Well my wife and her girlfriends went to see the Sex and the City movie last night and when she got home she couldn’t stop talking about how great Carrie’s long strand of pearls looked.

After doing a little research, I found out from my friends over at National Jeweler that Carrie was wearing a long pearl necklace by none other than Mikimoto! Remember way back when Carrie wore the diamond horseshoe?

Jewelry Trends 2008 | Final Report on JCK Las Vegas Show

sean — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:55:15 +0000

We’ll finally it’s over. Our team spent an unbelievable eight days on the the trade show floor finding just the right fine jewelry pieces and swiss watches to load up our showcases for the fall.

In my last report I noted organic jewelry as being particularly strong and this definitely was the case. But by the end of the show jewelry featuring black diamonds, black onyx or black sapphires stole the show. The designs were refreshing, avant-garde and even reasonable in price to boot. We started showing this a little bit last fall but this year it is going to be even bigger and the styles are traditional enough to last for some time to come.

Another emerging jewelry trend that we spotted was the combination of rose gold and white agate. I think by the time the New York show rolls around the Italians will be producing this look in full swing. It is so perfect for summertime wear, and once you see the pieces featured on JRDunn.com you’ll know exactly what I mean.

I just can’t wait till we get our new goodies in and hopefully our clients will be as thrilled as we are! And if there is anything else you’d like to see either in store or on our website please let us know!

Warm regards,

Sean

Jewelry Trends | Live from the 2008 Vegas Jewelry Show

sean — Sat, 31 May 2008 04:41:49 +0000

Jewelry trends for fall and winter 2008 – We are heading into our third day at the Couture 2008 jewelry show and I’m happy to report we haven’t been disappointed at all with the jewelry shown so far.

By far and away the strongest trends we have seen is the explosion of jewelry featuring organic shapes. The pearls in particular have been spectacular, especially the large baroque pearls from Yvel in black, white and gold mixed with diamonds.

As far as the over all color trends go, things seemed to have toned down from the days when shocking pink was the rule. The stones being feature in the jewelry are leaning once again towards the classics, including black, gray, brown and even some white. Some of the most outrageous pieces we saw actually featured large black diamonds, gray diamonds and rose cut diamonds.

Some of the trends from last year like rose gold, cuff bracelets, bangle bracelets, large hoop earrings and bold gold still have plenty of life left in them. However with the price of gold the way it is, some designers have tried to create gold jewelry pieces that still look bold but are actually wafer thin. These pieces were horrible! I know the suppliers wanted to keep the prices down but the style and feel didn’t translate at all. I think our clients want quality and substance when it comes to fine jewelry.

And for those of you who love designer jewelry like we do, there are tons of new pieces coming out from the top brands. We are expanding our current collections of Aaron Basha, John Hardy, Roberto Coin and Mikimoto tremendously. We are also adding quite few new exciting designers to our lineup (we’ll let you know who they are as soon as the product is on its way). And don’t worry guys, we haven’t forgot about you! We are bringing in a ton of edgy sterling silver men’s jewelry including designer cufflinks, heavy men’s bracelets and necklaces and quite a few accessories to boot.

More updates to follow as things progress…………

Thanks for reading,

Sean
