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…………

2. Single Pearl Pendant ~ With or without diamonds this type of necklace is charming and classic and can work with any budget; perfect for bridesmaids gifts.

3. Vintage Diamond Bracelet ~ Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue…. O.k we’ll save the blue for something else but a vintage diamond bracelets is a great idea to cover the first three in this saying!

4. Pearl Stud Earrings ~ It seems we are listing pearls quite a bit but they are an absolutely PERFECT gift for brides and bridesmaids!

5. Diamond Stud Earrings ~ An absolute necessity for any woman’s wardrobe, the bigger the better.

6. Whimsical Themed Necklaces ~ Make your bridesmaid’s gifts fun and filled with personality…give them a diamond butterfly, palm trees, four leaf clovers, circles of life, etc…..Pick whichever one suits your crew’s personality best! Roberto Coin’s Tiny Treasures collection is the place to start.

7. Stylish Mens Bracelets ~ John Hardy and Russell Simmons are both designer jewelry lines that are paying a lot of attention to men’s jewelry. Both collections are wonderful with clean handsome lines just right for any groom or groomsmen gifts.

8. Cufflinks ~ A great standby for the guys… but consider going with designer cufflinks. They can be big time fun. Robin Rotenier for example, he has a cufflinks to match ANY personality.

9. Money Clips ~ This time-honored gift sure has evolved in the last 5 years. Money clips can be very chic and traditional or they can be hip and funky with black or white diamonds and/or leather accents.

10. Swiss Army Knife ~ This is a traditional standby where you cannot lose! Any groom or groomsman who is into ANY outdoor activity…can use a Swiss Army knife or watch.
