What's Hot, What's Not 2016: Trends in Jewelry Retailing

Since we last looked at the trends, styles and designs that are leading the way in the retail jewelry industry, the mood of customers and the industry at large have undergone some changes. Certain design trends that were taking off in 2014 have become the mainstream today, while other trends that we couldn’t have predicted two years ago are now firmly embedded in popular culture. In particular, a few abstract themes – nature, sentimentality, and asymmetry – are present or dominant across all aspects of jewelry design and manufacturing. Ethical sourcing is a growing concern in jewelry supply chain, advertising and public relations.
