Building a Christmas Collection

[Bangles H1951/S/Y/R, Signet Ring, Cushion H1757 Oval H2269]

1. SURE FIRE SELLERS

Christmas is a wonderful time of year and jewellery makes the best gift. Here we offer our thoughts on building a collection for Autumn that will leave your competitors in the dust! We’ve looked at trends, bestsellers and offer ideas to inspire.

Let’s start with those 'must have' essentials that sell all year round and garner reliable sales. These are taken from our bestseller list and feature pieces that sell in quantity, across a variety of outlets, all year round (and some for many years) and so have popular appeal. Also see our 'Hidden Collection' Blog from last year.

2. SPARKLE

Shimmering metallics on the catwalk herald a move towards a fashion for sparkle and, as no festive celebration is complete without it, it’s time to make collections shine.

Every occasion is a sparkle worthy time of day and the trend seems to fall into two camps – subtle glimmer or spirited sparkle.

Subtle Glimmer

Tennis bracelets and pave are adding subtle sparkle for everyday. The smooth liquid articulation of these pieces makes them comfortable to wear, classy and sophisticated. The classic tennis style with a single line of stones the same size is still spot on trendwise, and this gives them longevity making them them safe stock investments. Design innovations mean different sized stones and colours are all attracting attention too. Anklets are also getting in on the act.

3. PEARLS – PERFECTLY IMPERFECT

The resurgence in pearl popularity may have started on catwalk but pearls are now an established trend with designers, influencers and celebrities all fans and it seems set to continue. Pearls are surprisingly versatile. They can be luxuriant, minimalist or statement-making. Whether it’s pearl necklaces featuring pearls of different sizes and shapes, pearl earrings combined with cubic zirconia, or pearl bracelets of any style, pearls provide an air of unmatched elegance.
