Jewelry Trend Forecast

As jewelry makers, we often make the trends when it comes to fashion and jewelry, but that doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't also keep an eye on style guides and jewelry trends that are coming up.

To help keep jewelry makers on top of current trends, Fire Mountain Gems and Beads has a Fashion Trends area on their web site.

From a company press release: "Each season includes a comprehensive trends report on what's hot in jewelry accessories and fashion. This report highlights the key trends of the season and translates runway looks into reality lifestyles. [...] The complementary color forecasts are currently available for each season through Fall/Winter 2007, which allows you the opportunity to plan ahead. The seasonal color forecasts are available in a downloadable PDF form, for easy printing and use."

Along with the color report, they have a Trend Report, which generally goes over trends and a Style Guide, which includes projects that incoporate the trends and colors.
