THOUGHTFUL NECKLACE LAYERS are all the rage right now: not delicate, barely-there pieces, but two to three distinctive designs paired together for maximum impact. Remind your customers that a necklace isn’t a jewel in isolation, but rather one part of a wardrobe that can be styled with complementary elements to create an infinite number of different looks.

Charismatic Color
Colored gemstones are having a moment, in bead form and otherwise, and it’s not hard to understand their appeal. In uncertain economic times, people need to feel something in order to make a purchase, and color excels at eliciting emotional reactions. After all, color is wearable happiness, and who doesn’t need a little extra happiness added to their day to day?

Fantastic Foundations
Every lover of layers knows that you can’t build a stack of all statement pieces: It’s essential to complement the attention-grabbers with versatile neutrals that play well with others.
