Fashion For All. Every September, four prominent international fashion weeks—New York, London, Paris, and Milan—drive some of the world’s most important fashion trends. The events provide a peek at the ready-to-wear that will hit stores six months later. Runway shows are important for jewelers because they reveal the clothing colors and silhouettes that store owners will be accessorizing by spring. Savvy manufacturers know this and capitalize on the trends by calling attention to pieces in their lines—or creating new items—that reflect the hues and complement the couture. Fashion weeks are high-profile marketing opportunities. Phillip Gabriel Maroof includes celebrity and runway shots in his campaigns whenever possible to drive home the point that designs from his Royal Chain Group are exciting and on trend. “We try to include clothing trends and pair them with our products when we create our marketing campaigns,” explains the company’s vice president of marketing and design. “It gives some inspiration that retailers can use when targeting consumers.” Click Here To Read The Article: https://lnkd.in/e2Pyrr-8 #PlumbClub #PlumbClubMember #PlumbClubTrends #FashionForAll #NYFW #LondonFashionWeek #ParisFashionWeek #MilanFashionWeek #RunwayTrends #JewelryAndFashion #JewelryTrends #PhillipGabrielJewelry #RoyalChainGroup #CoutureJewelry #SpringFashion #JewelryMarketing #TrendingStyles #FashionWeekJewelry

Platinum’s Properties Sizzle. With the price of gold trading at more than twice that of platinum, many in jewelry have given the rare and pure naturally white metal more prominent placement in lines—and not just bridal. “While some consumers may view platinum as a traditional metal to be used only for bridal jewelry, it’s actually great for everyday wear,” says Valerie Fletcher, vice president of design and product development for ODI. That’s why her firm recently unveiled a Platinum Classics collection containing diamond jewelry staples like tennis bracelets, hoops, halo pendants, and studs as well as hearts, crosses, and other fashion pendants. Platinum’s positive attributes are abundant. It’s strong, denser and heavier than gold, won’t lose metal over time like karat-gold jewels, never requires rhodium plating because it is naturally white, and it’s hypoallergenic, making “it wearable for people with sensitive skin or allergies to metals that are found in gold alloys, adds Fletcher. “White gold is plated to look white and will need to be replated over time.” On the flip side of all the praise is the long-repeated misconception that the metal scratches easily. That’s not true, says Rick Mulholland, Sales and Marketing, of 41-year-old Continental/Novell Global. “Our experience is that platinum is fairly resistant to deep marks,” he says. “Minor scratches can be easily buffed out.” Click Here To Read The Article: https://lnkd.in/eHvx7S-m #PlumbClub #PlumbClubMember #PlumbClubTrends #PlatinumJewelry #PlatinumVsGold #LuxuryMetals #EverydayPlatinum #PlatinumClassics #HypoallergenicJewelry #DurableJewelry #PlatinumStrength #DiamondJewelry #FashionJewelry #JewelryTrends #PurePlatinum #LuxuryDesigns #JewelryEssentials #PlatinumShine
