- Wide Cuffs still going strong: in high karat gold and gemstones at Amrapali
- Special cuts in Stones: in a dragonfly and elongated marquis motif at Anna Ruth Henriques
- The three big gemstones: sapphire, emerald and ruby in polished rough and rose cuts at Suzy Landa
- An update on the personalized trend at Heather more with a thin rubelite over 18K gold message
- Vintage looks by modern designers: with an art nouveau inspired ring at Ista and with Just Jules signature authentic period lockets, updated by new gems and feminine chains
- Cut out lacy looks: These take on a three dimension effect at Atelier Minon
- Naturalistic forms: Casual yet with a streamlined simplicity at Natalie Frigo, highlighted by a earthy diamond slice
- Collectibles such as authentic antiques and period pieces: Bernard Nacht "Under the Crown" has a variety of time periods from which to choose and these have become extremely popular particularly for stores who have estate departments
- Alternative Bridal: Rings that have polish rough-cuts or opaque rose cuts: Just Jules inherent natural inclusions lending character to the stones. These rings are given a more feminine feeling with a touch of diamond pave around the bezel
- Ethereal stones such as moonstone continue to be a favorite among designers: At Goshwara, it's moonstone quartz --which works well and is accessibly priced in the large size pendant
