Charm Jewelry, Ice Diamonds, and Lux for Less for Spring Trends

 

A lean economy for fine jewelers means more affordable versions of over-the-top creations. That’s why designers at many of the spring shows—including VicenzaOro First and Baselworld—were showing economy-appropriate styles. Among the newest creations: charms (collectible and cute), less-expensive and highly included ‘ice’ diamonds for high-fashion looks, and stunning high-end pieces that retail for $2,000 or less.
