What are the jewelry trends for 2010?

Metal Color

As far as metal color goes, white metal is still king, but two tone and yellow are gaining strength. Our industry is telling us that into next year yellow gold and two tone will be getting stronger yet. We're noticing a "bump" in yellow gold and two tone sales as well at Steven DiFranco Jewelers. You will also see lots of sterling sliver combined with both 14k and 18k gold in fall and 2010 jewelry.

Silver Bead Jewelry

Silver bead jewelry from many companies is still EXPLODING with growth. We've been selling them for five years now and each year the growth is amazing. At Steven DiFranco Jewelers, we carry twelve (yes, I said 12) different manufacturer's silver beads in stock. Without question, we have the largest stock and variety of silver beads in Northeast Ohio. All of the beads being sold in our store and others are of equal quality, with none being "better" than the other. Get on our mailing list for our annual Mother's Day weekend "Bead-A--Palooza" bead extravaganza show! New styles, manufacturer's sales reps in the store, special deals, free give-away's, and much much more. This is a "not to be missed" event for the silver bead collector!

Watches

"Big" is still in and in some cases getting bigger for both men and ladies. Diamonds and white crystals on watches for both men and ladies are still in demand. The metal color in watches follows the jewelry metal colors very closely. For a European style, try a leather band for your watch. Depending on the color of the band and it's texture, you can change a watch's personality dramatically. Mother of pearl dials are popular for ladies watches.

Earrings

Hoops are very strong in all metal colors. Elongated, button, circle silhouettes, along with short drop styles will be the "must haves" for your jewelry wardrobe. We've even added a selection of sterling silver hoops in an affordable price range.

Bracelets

As with watches, "big" is the rage. Cuffs, multi-strand gem and pearl pieces. Our Sharon Wei pearl line fits this description perfectly.

Gemstones

For fall and into 2010 pearls will be HOT HOT HOT. Freshwater pearls, cultured pearls, crazy colored pearls, ANYTHING with pearls

Designs

Since 2010 is the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock, you'll be seeing lots of "Peace" and "Peace Sign" jewelry. "Key" jewelry is in as well.
