It is amazing the variety of goods selling. What we have noticed is that medium-priced goods ($295-$1,295) have left quickest. Our target purchases for the season are for retail items in that budget window. — Denise Oros; Linnea Jewelers, La Grange, IL
Chelsea Taylor is selling like hot cakes! We met them at the smart jewelry show. Thanks! — Stephenie Bjorkman; Sami Fine Jewelry, Fountain Hills, AZ
From Parle wave pendants in silver to 18K diamond rings from Empire Corp., if it is unusual, we will sell it! — Rosanne Kroen; Rosanne’s Diamonds & Gold, South Bend, IN
New designs are selling well. People like a fresh look. Mark Silverstein Imagines has some nice designs that are priced pretty good. — Colby Homec; Homec Jewelers, La Quinta, CA
We finally decided to jump on board the bead trend. We are bringing in Chamilia and are excited to see how it will do. — Brian Franklin; Generation Jewelers, Peoria, AZ
