Popular Summer Jewelry Trends...

This summer we are seeing lots of new fads and some continued traditional/classical trends that are carried on from year to year. So what IS popular in the jewelry world this summer?

-Custom Design: clients bringing in old jewelry and redesigning the stones and gold for a new look

-Southern Gates Silver Jewelry: silver is always a popular summer choice, especially when traveling. The Southern Gates collection is based on original designs from historic garden gates in Charleston, SC. These pieces still fly off the shelves and new designs such as the Tree of Life are extremely popular.

-Sarah James: local jewelry artist, Sarah James, is always evolving. She has recently brought in new styles and are even more popular than her last designs. Her pieces are one-of-a-kind so if you see the one you want...get it now!
Catherine Weitzman: Maui artist, Catherine Weitzman has a 14k gold collection as well as a vermeil and sterling line. Both are popular, and especially while living at the beach, the sea shells are always a favorite!
