2020’S HANDWASHING DEMANDS meant that rings took a backseat for many jewelry lovers this year, but what’s come of that is the desire for truly special rings: a craving for quality, uniqueness, and meaning. Give your customers a reason to buy one ring over another. How does the piece reflect their own individual personality? Is it a connection to someone they love? Will it remind them of something important to their beliefs?

Bold Gold
The resurgence of lush, generous expanses of gold may have started as a ‘70s style throwback, but this trend has become something all its own. Touchable textures and the sunshine sheen of this precious metal’s buttery bounty in all its glory.

Color Theory
Adding a dash of a signature hue to one’s day wardrobe is a perfect way to inject some energy into the day-to-day. Encourage your customers to connect with the spirit of a particular shade: Perhaps they crave the playfulness of pink sapphire, the boldness of a vivid tsavorite, the serenity of blue sapphire, the passion of a rich ruby?
