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…………

These pearl care suggestions are from Yvel and we thought we would pass them on to you since this is a question we get asked all the time. We are fortunate to represent Yvel pearls as well as Mikimoto, and when people invest their hard earned money on top quality pearls they want to take care of them. After all, most of the time these pearls will be heirloom pieces they’ll pass on to their children. Here are a few suggestions to keep your pearls looking there best:

I can’t believe it’s that time again! Buying this year at the Vegas show is going to be a lot of fun! It seems the looks of the 60’s are back with gold hitting the spotlight in a major way. Gone are the days of the diminutive styles of the 90’s and enter giant gold hoops and ethnic inspired gold jewelry with interesting finishes! This will be fun. First stop will be the Couture Show where we will visit designer jewelers such as John Hardy, Roberto Coin, Mikimoto,Yvel, Marco Bicego and many more. Next Mom and I will be will be off to hit the Italian Pavilion to check out the latest jewelry from Italy. And this will only be the beginning because the show is absolutely huge! Did I mention we are going to have one heck of a crew going this year? Accompanying us at the 2007 JCK will be my Father, Robert who is our award winning designer, our GM, our Marketing and Merchandising Coordinator, our watch buyer and last but certainly not least our diamond and bridal buyer! Yes it take that many eyes and ears to bring our clients the best of the best! Stay tuned and I will report all of the great new finds upon our return!
