Jewelry Trend Update

In one word, the trend toward all fashion is "Luxe." For jewelry this means fine jewelry is the trend: gold, pearls, and gem stones. The luxurious jewelry will be combined with luxurious fabrics. Jewelers’ Circular Keystone (JCK) magazine describes the look as "1940s war bride meets 1980s confidence and swagger." I scoured through the August, September, and October 2000 issues of JCK to compile this Jewelry Trend Update for the 21st Century. Below is a with a series of short reports on the upcoming trends in jewelry.

Report #1 - Gold Returns

Report #2 - Trends & Traditions
