FASHION JEWELRY

Fine jewelry usually gets top billing. It’s hard to dispute the appeal of precious metal and stones, though they typically have prices to match. For shoppers who want a treat that requires a less substantial investment, fashion jewelry (and its accessible pricing) has distinct appeal. Plus, the category offers a way to experiment with trends at will. Designs with enamel, fringes and tassels and refined sculptural shapes are the most wanted fashion jewelry du jour. — TANYA DUKES

CANDY COATED

➤ Gemstones are the usual suspects for giving jewelry a dose of color, but there’s another contender that’s on the rise: Enamel, with its infinite variety of colors is a perfect medium for giving jewelry a vivid, glossy surface.
