Trending Jewelry Styles in Atlanta

Trending means a shape is gaining ground right now. We watch two things to decide.

The first is the jewelry and fashion press. The second is what designers show at Couture, JCK and Vicenzaoro.

Neither is a guess about our own sales. It is what the trade is putting in front of people. What it signals is that you are paying attention.

Layered gold chains are the clearest of them. Several chains of different widths, worn at once.

A statement signet ring has a flat face. It carries a carved monogram or a single stone.

A tennis necklace is the tennis bracelet idea, moved to the neck. It is a full line of set diamonds.

Charm jewelry is back, and it is the newest move here. Wear a gold charm bracelet, or hang the same charms on a chain. The look borrows from the 1990s.

Mixed-metal stacked rings put yellow, white and rose gold on one finger. See the three golds next to each other.

One thing to know about a mixed stack. The bright white on white gold is a coating. It needs a re-coat in time.

Chunky link bracelets are heavier. They are worn as the only piece on the wrist.

A trend still has to suit you. Metal and proportion matter more than the shape.

Rose gold has been strong for years. It is gold with more copper in it, and the copper pulls it pink. The color is in the metal, not a coating on top.

Colored stones are part of the same move. A parti-color sapphire shows two or three color zones in one stone.

Some settings that arrived as trends are now normal. The hidden halo is one, and the chunky curb chain is another. A hidden halo sets small diamonds under the center stone.

Silver is the cheapest way to try a trend. It is softer than platinum and needs more care.

Ask one question before you buy. Will this still read well in ten years?

Clean lines and good materials usually age well. Very extreme shapes usually do not.

A trend can also be made only for you. We build one-off custom pieces.
