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?

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,

“Pearls? My Grandmother wore Pearls” We hear that one all the time at J.R.Dunn Jewelers. But let me be the first to tell you Mikimoto’s Pearls in Motion are NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHERS PEARLS! I absolutely LOVE the versatility of this collection from Mikimoto….I am a typical woman and change my mind all the time. I want my jewelry to enhance how I feel and what I am wearing. These pearls do just that. They actually slide along the necklace and stay in the position where you place them. Besides being versatile and very chic, these pearls are Mikimoto and for that reason they will end up being heirlooms that future generations will cherish.

Pearls in Motion are also perfect for that blushing bride…..the versatility will make it work with almost any neckline on any wedding dress. You can even wear the drop in the back with a high neckline. They also make a great gift for that special maid of honor.

Shop Mikimoto today at www.jrdunn.com.

Enjoy!

~ Pearls should be the last thing you put on before leaving home, and the first thing you remove upon returning.

~ Put on your pearls after using perfume, not before.

~ Wear your pearls as often as possible; they will become hydrated by contact with your skin.

~ Love your pearls – by stroking them you will gently polish them and increase their luster.

~ Store your pearls in a soft pouch or separately lined box.

~ Wipe your pearls with a soft damp cloth after each wearing.

~ Periodically wash them with warm soapy water using a damp cloth.
