Viva Las Vegas!


My spring resolution is to post more regularly, beginning with this little report on the Las Vegas jewelry market.  I'm excited about the new work I am showing and the response has been very strong. It seems that many retailers are ready to shop for the upcoming season, be it back to school or holiday, and are focusing on timeless, collectible pieces that have versatile appeal. Classic seems to be the buzz word, in keeping with the times. People want to spend their money on pieces that they won't tire of, that have a sensible appeal, with a little sparkle and bling thrown in for good measure! Glad I brought my trusty cocktail collection!  My best selling group by far, the cocktail pieces are great from day to night and come in a vast array of colors. Here's a little selection (photo).  I am sticking to what I do best...color, color, color. I'm having a love affair with chrysoprase at the moment, which I have paired with gray and chocolate tones for winter - and in their warm 22K gold settings, the pieces just jump off the skin.  

Well, Vegas is certainly showing some encouraging signs in the jewelry world. Here's to a successful rest of the show!
