 Hot Trend: Cluster Necklaces
One of the most interesting trends heading into summer is the cluster necklace. The concept ties in nicely with the sort of dainty and feminine trends in fashion we've been seeing lately.
Emphasis in this trend is on meaningful and interesting combinations that convey some personal theme. Organics like shell and pearls play well in clusters that are peppered with silver or gold fill charms.
Customers will like pieces that project a theme or convey a message with an emotional or spiritual bent. An easy way to interest customers is to set up a "charm bar" with lots of charms and interesting centerpieces laid out in clear multi-compartment bins from Helby, Rio Grande or your local craft store.
If you have several neck chain choices on hand, the variety of combinations will get your customers involved in the design process while helping your bottom line with the good markups you can achieve with well-chosen pieces.
