Trend Focus: Editor’s Pick
When it comes to trends, clarity matters. That’s why we’re keeping things simple –– these are the styles worth your attention.
Whether it’s bold metal-forward designs, personalized bracelet stacks, or the growing demand for colorful gemstone center stones and accents, these trends reflect real movement in the market. We’re here to help you bring those insights straight to your customers with the right products, tools, and guidance to make them work in your store.
Bold Metal Styles
Today’s customers are tending to gravitate toward pieces that feel substantial and elevated — something that adds statement value to their everyday wear. As a result, we’re seeing a shift toward metal as the main event for an easy way to create a completed look. From wide bands and structured silhouettes to sculptural and minimalist styles, bold metal looks are standing out in a big way.
How To Position This Trend
Highlight bold metal pieces as everyday essentials with a twist.
Use layering to show versatility — pair bolder designs with delicate ones to create something that contrasts but is still wearable.
Offer mix-and-match displays that show complementary metals with bold yellow gold pieces as the central focus.
Stackable Bracelets
The stacking trend continues to grow — this time, on the wrist. Whether it’s varying chain types, diamond and gemstone line bracelet styles, or classic metal bangles, offering a wide range of top-performing designs gives customers an easy way to personalize their look.
How To Position This Trend
- Curate bracelet stacks in-store to help customers visualize combinations.
Provide styling tips that guide customers with confidence, such as knowing which bracelets complement their preferred style.
Rotate fresh stack suggestions in displays or online to encourage repeat purchases.
Diamond and Gemstone Rings
From milestone jewelry to custom designs and everyday stacks, noticeable shine and vibrant shades are playing a big role in how customers shop and style basics within their collection.
Diamond jewelry continues to be a cornerstone of the fine jewelry market — especially with lab-grown diamonds offering more accessible price points without sacrificing luxury. Color, however, is gaining momentum. Gemstone ring styles are on the rise as customers look for pieces that feel more personal, expressive, and meaningful.
The takeaway? Offer a mix of diamonds and gemstones to meet your customers where they are — and where their style is headed.
