Moti Ferder, CEO and Design Director of Lugano Diamonds predicts the top jewelry trends for 2017. 1. 2017 Trend #1: Jewelry as everyday wear: Customers are requesting and purchasing jewelry that is to be worn everyday, not just stored in the vault for black tie or special occasions. “We believe that jewelry is an outward expression of who you are and our designs are for a myriad of personalities and lifestyles with the simple philosophy: jewelry should be worn, and worn often,” said Lugano Diamonds CEO and Design Director Moti Ferder. “It’s jewelry that matches our customers lifestyles from casual to elegant with designs you won’t find anywhere else or on anyone else,” he added. a. Lugano Diamonds Culet Up Rose Cut Drop Earrings have 3.72 and 3.59 Rose Cut Diamond Center stones with 228 round diamonds are the perfect example of stunning jewelry to be worn from morning to night. b. The Briolette Cut is a drop-shaped stone with triangular or diamond-shaped facets all the way around. Lugano’s 188.14 carat Briolette Diamond Chain is brilliant and jaw-dropping beautiful. It can be worn with a sweater and jeans to a little black dress for dinner. 2. 2017 Trend #2: Colored Diamond Jewelry Will Continue to Grow in Sales: There has been steady growth in the sale of Colored Diamonds in the Lugano collection. The demand for colored stones has been driven by their rarity and beauty with increased media attention on high profile individuals who wear these gems. “Clients value our beautiful jewelry designs that are one-of-a-kind due to our access to unique, rare and large stones of the highest quality. Colored stone pieces are being added to jewelry collections with pink and yellow stones being very popular,” stated Ferder. a.
