JEWELRY CONCEPT #1 – STATEMENT STONES
▪ Ever since Swarovski’s re-brand and partnerships with well-known models and influencers, oversized glass stones are becoming increasingly popular. Now with the recent launch of Swarovski Skims, we are going to see a demand for these looks.
JEWELRY CONCEPT #2 – COVERED IN CRYSTALS
▪ For this upcoming fall and holiday season, you should be dripping in crystals! There was a ton of faceted glass and waterdrop embellished beaded apparel items on the runway within recent shows which will translate to a consumer demand for next holiday season.
JEWELRY CONCEPT #3 – CLUSTERED GEMS
▪ Because over-the-top glass stone accessories are currently everywhere within high fashion, it is important to have these represented in a variety of forms and styling. As mentioned above
extra-large glass are on the rise, but we are also seeing clustered and stone encrusted items using smaller stones in a variety of shapes.

JEWELRY CONCEPT #1 – IN THE GROOVE
▪ Relaxed and timeless styling has been trending for the past few seasons and will continue into next year. Metals will continue to be important for this trend but will be evolved. We are seeing a lot of vintage inspiration in metals, and a groove texture (update to the croissant metal) along with omega chain styling, will be a great way to update metals when it comes to this sophisticated aesthetic.
JEWELRY CONCEPT #2 – COZY SZN ESSTENTIALS
▪ As always, cozy apparel will be important for next winter/ holiday season. We are seeing really over the top cozy items in neutral colorations. This trend is where “quiet luxury” will be updated. There will be a lot of luxurious materials and cashmere, but many
of these items are on the bulkier side. Perfect items to pair with sweaters are earrings, chunky bracelets, and especially, rings. Metals will be the main focus for this trend but focus on a very high polish finish and strong updates to salable silhouettes.

JEWELRY CONCEPT #1 – BOLD COMBINATIONS
▪ Color is back and bigger than ever. Lately we have been seeing fashion forward, unexpected color pops when it comes to runway looks and high fashion streetwear. One of the most popular examples is colored tights, especially in the color red. When looking to next season, we should translate these bold color pops and unexpected color combinations to jewelry items. Resin will be an important material here since it is a great color vehicle.
JEWELRY CONCEPT #2 – UNIQUE TEXTURES
▪ We are seeing velvet looks everywhere on recent runway shows and this lux fabrication will once again trend for next holiday season. One of the freshest ways we are approaching velvet for the season is not just in new apparel silhouettes, but also in jewelry. A great way to showcase this material is to focus on key items and use velvet as a textured inlay or sleek casting covering.
JEWELRY CONCEPT #3 – ADD ALL THE SPARKLE
▪ Because bold glitz and sparkly looks will be so important for next holiday, we need to also have this glass stone idea represented in colors. A great way to showcase stone looks in color is to design color roll worthy key items and develop these items in trending colors.

JEWELRY CONCEPT #1 – PUT A BOW ON IT
▪ The most important accessory to register right now and for the foreseeable future are bows! Bows are everywhere right now and should be represented in numerous fabrications, colorways, and materials.
JEWELRY CONCEPT #2 – PRETTY IN PEARLS
▪ We are seeing a lot happening within the vintage revival aesthetic, and because the luxury market is so hot right now, vintage luxury accessories have been in major demand. Look to these vintage luxury influences and curate a collection that represents these aesthetics. Focus on pearl as a main component here. JEWELRY CONCEPT #3 – YOU HAVE MY HEART
▪ Icons are always important when it comes to fashion jewelry, but as of recent, the heart icon has become a must-have staple, especially in the singular pendant silhouette. Continue to
update this icon for the holiday timeframe by incorporating a lot of glass stone, rhinestone chains, and pave. JEWELRY CONCEPT #4 – RHINESTONE CRUSH
▪ Another material that we are now seeing at a high fashion level and surprisingly on the runways is rhinestone tubing. This trend will be more key item focused, but pairing the rhinestone tube with stone encrusted paper, will be a great way to inject feminine sparkle for the holiday timeframe.

JEWELRY CONCEPT #1 – POWER PEARLS
▪ Pearls continue for next year, but now we are seeing these evolve to be more circular shape and oversized/ bulbous. The key to this trend will be scale, more items should feel larger and over the top. Also, only round pearls will be important not irregular. Also, when designing into this trend think of a more relaxed but edgy aesthetic.
JEWELRY CONCEPT #2 – STANDOUT FLORALS
▪ The fabric flower choker was one of the hottest items the past two seasons, and from the looks of recent designer collections, this enlarged floral statement item is here to stay. For holiday, we are seeing these floral items in rich saturated colorations and holiday appropriate componentry such as sequin and velvet fabrications.
JEWELRY CONCEPT #3 – TAKE A SHOT
▪ Metals will always be an important staple to our accessory wardrobes, but one recent item to pop is the shot bead necklace. The shot bead chain necklace itself is currently in the market, but how to we update and expand this look? Focus on clean designers, and nothing that feels to complicated, but keep the looks bold and strong.

JEWELRY CONCEPT #1 – THE ANTI-HEROINE
▪ Since vintage influence has been increasingly important when it comes to fashion, we are seeing influence from all Era’s of time, especially those relating to independence, rebellion, and generational wealth. We are currently witnessing a rise of the anti-heroine, and this isn’t only because of Taylor Swift’s number one hit. The consumer is gravitating towards feminine freedoms and idolizing a women that does not follow the norm of societal expectations. This trend represents the powerful and badass woman.
JEWELRY CONCEPT #2 – CODE OF ARMOUR
▪ We have been seeing a ton of structured metal apparel looks within recent runway shows, and this trend almost represents an armored look. Again, this idea goes back to being strong, independent, and bold while also being protective of yourself.
JEWELRY CONCEPT #3 – ROYAL HEIRLOOMS
▪ As mentioned above, trends representing royalty and generational wealth have recently come to light. This concept represents jewels and “treasures” from past generations. Colors that represent actual precious stones and gems will be extremely important but in order to update and make this feel fresh, add a contemporary twist by incorporating salable iconic items.

JEWELRY CONCEPT #1 – PUNK VIBES
▪ Not only have we been seeing the punk trend continuously saturate the fashion industry, but we are also seeing major fashion icons and influencers go after this aesthetic. It is important to have these accessories feel edgy and rebellious. Focus on interesting hardware and cool metal plating.
JEWELRY CONCEPT #2 – FOR THE LOVE OF GRUNGE
▪ While feminine and romantic trends continue to be important, with the punk takeover, we are starting to see the dark side of romance in fashion. The idea of juxtaposition will be important here; have feminine icons and fabrications, but in dark colorations and with an edgier twist.

JEWELRY CONCEPT #1 – I LOVE THE 80s
▪ Amongst the vintage revival, the 80s influence has got to be one of the most important. We are seeing this represented in apparel with bolder boxy looks and the structured shoulder, but the most recent 80s trend to pop is the oversized metal stud earring. This trend maybe more key item focused, but the most important thing is to focus on exaggeration, whether that be in material or scale.
JEWELRY CONCEPT #2 – 90s REIMAGINED
▪ We have been referencing the nostalgic influence for a while now, but this generational influence still continues. We are still seeing icon looks from the Era, but for holiday, and a glitzy twist to these beloved iconic looks. Chokers also continue to be important, so how can we evolve this item to feel fresh?
JEWELRY CONCEPT #3 – BACK TO THE FUTURE
▪ Conversations surrounding artificial intelligence and the meta verse have been louder than ever. One of the most significant trends
represented in recent runway shows was the influence of the future. Although this trend has been pre-peak, we will see this become more understandable and wearable for consumers next year.
