Jewelry Shopping and Trends Guide
Follow jewelry trends and shop for jewelry. Watching celebrity jewelry is one way to monitor the trends. Celebrities have access to all sorts of designer jewelry, and while I don’t always agree with their selections, the jewelry is fun to look at and is often a good preview of the pieces we’ll see on retail racks in a season or two.
Shopping for jewelry is fun, but it’s important to know exactly what you’re buying. Is that gemstone ring set with a natural gemstone, a treated gemstone, or a gemstone made in a laboratory? There’s a lot to consider before you buy gemstones and precious metals, but don’t worry — I’ll help you sort it out.

Lampwork beads have been popular jewelry components for a long time. Bead styles (and the way they are used in jewelry) are ever-changing, but I think lampwork beads, in general, are here to stay. Professional bead makers offer tips to help you purchase beads and galleries walk you through a bunch of different designs.
