This Year’s Best-Selling Holiday Jewels, According to JCK Exhibitors
There are several sources businesses can look to for help deciding the best items to stock for this year’s holiday season. Each business knows their own store and customer base best, but there are also benefits to taking chances with new lines and product categories, opening the potential to reach new shoppers and broaden their current customers’ personal collections.
Social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok are always good sources for the more up-to-date styles in consumer demand (especially for that ever-desirable Gen Z market), though jewelry doesn’t necessarily move as quickly as some fashion trends. Still, consulting the latest TikTok “core” (Barbiecore, Fairycore, whatever’s next), could help a business with in-store displays and social media marketing, making use of the products they already have.
Then there are the jewelry shows, a massive opportunity to glean the current and upcoming styles moving the industry. You could make an argument that jewelry brands, manufacturers, and designers either answer to or drive the current trends, but it’s probably a little bit of both.
So, we went straight to the source: We asked JCK Show exhibitors to name one piece from their most recent offerings that they expect to be a hot seller this holiday season.
