A couple of years ago I attended a presentation put on by Martin Rapapport about Fair Trade. He truly captivated the audience with his vision of how the jewelry industry could act in a more socially responsible manner. I remember him encouraging the attendees to visit his booth after the seminar to check out a few examples of some fair trade jewelry products so i stopped by. (more…)
Thank the good Lord that my family and I were fortunate enough (or smart enough) to hire a a great crew of fashion forward professional ladies about a decade ago! Every season they have managed to keep J.R.Dunn Jewelers on top of it’s game when it comes to fashion and jewelry trends. Some trends are red hot one minute and forgotten the next so you have to be quick, but fortunately this isn’t the case when it comes to bridal jewelry. Bridal jewelry trends have a much longer lifespan and change more gradually.
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
