Are you wondering what the jewelry inventory looks like this year?

The new year brings in new jewelry trends (or not). Keeping up with the trends is imperative for small and big jewelry brands as trends will dictate the styles shoppers would gravitate toward. In the process, the styles shoppers are predicted to buy would influence the inventory.

According to Susan and Adrienne, two of the women of Berkshire Hathaway, jewelry trends are strictly related to what you see in the fashion industry. The outfits strutted onto the catwalk have long dictated the way men and women accessorize themselves. In addition, big personality names also influence the path jewelry is taking.

For example, royal engagements are reported to have influence demands more than any other celebrities and digital influencers. Kate Middleton has been known for its “Kate Effect” since her engagement with Prince William in 2010 in which her Ceylon blue-sapphire engagement ring reportedly revived the sapphire industry.

The same can be said of Meghan Markle whose huge engagement ring – a large antique cushion-cut diamond with two smaller diamonds on either side that belonged to the late Princess Diana – was predicted to influence the demands of engagement rings, especially for its level of personalization.

Such prediction has probably just manifested in the recent fashion shows, but more than this, it’s evident that the industry will be swinging back to the trends of the past, only in an updated direction. Watch out for the oversizing and over-bedazzling of jewelry pieces.

Jewelers, here are the pieces you need to stock up on based on this year’s jewelry trends. Get ready to update your inventory!

 Given its history, it’s only apt to say that they have been on trend for many seasons and reasons. This time, pearls are styled and worn in many different fresh ways. For example, the studs are out. Designers can play around with this gem by mixing it with different gems, metals. Pearls can also be worn as headpieces, thick, knotted necklaces, belts, and more.

This year, stock up on pieces that are big, bright, and beautiful.

Add sparks of color to your inventory and opt for more saturated hues to get as close as possible to runway trends. Colors can be achieved through a mix of different colored gems or beads.

Anticipate the idea that consumers would often find it challenging to style as outfit and accessories require color coordination to achieve an overall sophisticated look; hence, your inventory palette should lean towards contrasting colors, coordinating shades, and monochromatic color schemes.

5. Mixed Metals
