Here’s the Colorful Runway Trend That’s Influencing Jewelry Designs This Summer

Ready-to-wear designers sent a cross-cultural quilt of textures and patterns down the runway for fall/winter 2018/19. The result was a colorful patchwork from around the globe, all worked into cohesive coats and dresses. Fine jewelry designers have translated this feeling with a slightly more organic flair with a mix of brightly colored and more neutral gemstones in pieces with a painterly montage feeling. This continues the trend toward colored gemstones in everything from tonal versions to juxtaposing pale and vivid hues.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
