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.

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
