Best-Selling Holiday Jewels to Get in Store ASAP
For our industry, the holiday season is already here. While consumers are busy finalizing their Halloween costumes and selecting the best candy for trick-or-treaters, jewelers are hard at work finalizing marketing plans, organizing in-store events, and stocking their stores with what they hope will be best-selling items for holiday shoppers.
While none of these steps are particularly easy, much of it can still be fun. How can it not be when there’s so much jewelry to be discovered, delighted in, and ultimately, selected for a retailer’s holiday showcase? In a sea of trendy finds and classic styles alike, retailers have the momentous task of selecting not just what to get in their stores, but from whom. The list of quality brands, designers, and manufacturers is long.
We’ve asked some of your favorite JCK exhibitors to give us the scoop on what retailers will want to consider stocking this busy holiday season. Here’s a look at what they predict will be popular with shoppers this year.

Imagination, personality, and creativity will shine, while subtle looks will take a backseat this season. Confident and daring design combinations that create drama and intrigue will soar to new heights.”
