Crystal, Quartz and a Shine in Silvertone
The following necklace features simulated smokey crystal and quartz medallion, all with a beautiful shine in silvertone. “We can see the trend coming back, replacing the traditional linked and beaded necklaces. As diamond prices continue to grow, some people are switching to crystal and quartz jewelry as an alternative”, said Roberta C., Encore DT’s VP of Production in Valenza, Italy.
A Pink Princess with A Diamond
Pretty in pink, these princess ice silver stud diamond earrings bring together lavish princess cut stones to complement your favorite sundress. “We are seeing more diamond jewelry trends with pink studs in silvertone”, said Mr. Apollonsky, Encore DT’s President of Operations. “It’s like getting the best of both worlds – two beautiful pink diamond stones and a princess cut complement your look. In our first trial run we only produced about 50 pairs and sold out in less than a week”.
As with all trending jewelry, versatility is key. “My favorite diamond earrings are the ones that work with multiple outfits”, says Julie T. from Chicago, IL. “I always keep a few pairs that work with specific dresses, but for a casual outing I like to have a pair that works with almost anything”. Whether you’re entertaining in your backyard or enjoying a relaxing afternoon at the movie theater, these studs will always show you well.
Tonino Lamborghini Watch – A True Symbol
Lamborghini revolutionized the grand touring experience in the 1960’s, catering to the luxury market that demanded both comfort and speed. Success did not come easy, but after a five decade rollercoaster of ventures, failures and triumphs, Lamborghini still stands for a unique and unmatched user experience.
Standing the test of time, no watch creates a 0-60 experience quite like a Tonino Lamborghini Swiss Movement mens watch. Two tone in gold plated stainless steel, this watch is a true symbol of class and sophistication, measuring 7 3/4 inches in length and only 10mm in height.
A Less Expensive Alternative
Another Swarovski Crystal masterpiece, this necklace is a less expensive alternative to a gemstone necklace. Our Director of Production, Bonomi U. in Via Ca’, puts it this way, “Imagine a necklace with citrine stone. It looks similar but costs at least 5-6 times more. The truth is, crystal’s longevity is less than citrine, so it may not last a lifetime, but for a fraction of cost, it’s an amazing deal. In a few years most people would try a different design anyways, which leads to new jewelry trends again and again”.
Deborah E. from Tulsa says, “I used to follow celebrity jewelry trends and spend a lot more money on gemstone jewelry, necklaces and earrings, and I still buy it from time to time. But in the last few years I switched to simulated gemstones and crystals. I now buy five or six things for the same money that I used to buy one item, which gives me more variety to choose what I’m in the mood to wear”. And for those who will tell your friends that this is a real citrine, SHHHHHHH, your secret is safe with us.
Italian Jewelry Trends
This design was born in Valenza, Italy, and signifies all of the classics Italians expect in their diamond jewelry – 18K white gold, an invisible setting, G color untreated diamonds (clear), SI clarity and a truly sophisticated custom setting, designed by hand and manually produced.
Laura O., our Director of Production in Valenza offered the following explanation, “When it comes to diamond jewelry trends, Italians know exactly what they want and they are willing to spend months and years saving money to buy it. We started working with invisible settings to create the illusion of one big diamond while cutting the price by 50-70%. And with six-prong settings we are able to secure smaller diamonds and create the same fire and scintillation as with bigger stones. The design of the setting is also a major factor, since it determines the angles at which the diamonds will face the different sources of light. In the end it’s not always the size of the stones; it’s how skillfully they are set and the synergy they create together”.
