What Your Watch Says About You
Remember the days when a watch was just a source of time? “Those days are long gone”, says Joseph D., Encore DT’s Director of Call Center Operations. “Earlier this week we received a call from a lady, in the call center, who spent a few minutes telling one of my reps about her sister’s easygoing, friendly personality. At the end of her explanation she asked, ‘So, can you recommend a watch that she may like? Or anything from your Italian jewelry collection?’. We are receiving more and more calls from people looking for mens and womens watches, and jewelry in general. One of the jewelry trends we can see here is the majority of individuals choose watches based on their personalities.
Nothing makes a louder fashion statement like a Diamond Swiss Movement Leather Watch from Dedia (pictured above). “Think of it as a modern extension of the original Aquaswiss”, says Boris E., Encore DT’s President of Global Sourcing. “For most people who wear a watch, it is wrapped around their wrist for the better part of the day, so comfort, style and longevity are inevitably the key decision makers when it comes to educating our customers, and I have instructed our call center staff accordingly”. So the next time you are considering purchasing a brand new watch, be sure to ask yourself the right questions so that your new watch matches your personality. And equally as important, ask the store representative to discuss the comfort, style and longevity so that you can make an educated investment in yourself.
I Can’t Believe It’s Not Gemstones
A Victorian diamond classic, this pair of Briolette simulated silver gemstone earrings is a true glimpse of history, a fall back into the Victorian era. Originally pear-shaped with triangular facets, Briolette gemstones were once an “endangered species”, worn only by royalty and only on special occasions. “Historians are suggesting that the tiara worn by the Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna of Russia at her 1894 wedding to the Grand Duke Alexander Mihailovich of Russia contained several hundred briolettes”, says Boris E., Encore DT’s President of Global Sourcing.
“Among the latest jewelry trends, one was the most noticeable – recently we have gotten quite a few calls in the call center from people asking about “unique gift ideas”, especially from guys looking for gifts for women. They often claim to have already given necklaces, earrings, bracelets and diamonds, and are looking for something to surprise their girlfriends with”, says Joseph D, Encore DT’s Director of Call Center Operations. A pair of Briolette earrings is a great complement to a summer dress, and its uniqueness is almost guaranteed to surprise and please.
Animal Inspired Necklaces – Latest Jewelry Trends
The Encore DT family is excited to introduce a brand new line of animal inspired jewelry everything from dolphin necklaces to butterfly necklaces and eagle heads. “When the idea first came across my desk I was highly skeptical,” says Michael A., Encore DT’s President of Operations. “Our focus groups didn’t yield what I would consider promising forecasts and I was picturing an inventory nightmare. We agreed to give those necklaces test run in production and, for a period of approximately six weeks, we ended up 90% sold out of every animal-inspired piece we carry”.
“We are still learning about our buyers of animal-inspired jewelry and animal jewelry trends in general, but so far the consensus has been similar to that of our Briolette earrings – unique gifts, but also animal lovers and enthusiasts”, says Joseph D., Encore DT’s Director of Call Center Operations. Whether you’re looking to surprise an animal lover or need a themed jewelry gift, we have plenty of animal designs for you to choose from – snakes, dolphins, penguins and more!
