Jewelry Top Sellers & Jewelry Trends

The Gemstone Jewelry market experiences, trends and changes can occur rapidly or gradually. There are several reasons for this to occur.

a) Fashion trends, from the basic supply and demand of a gemstone, or the popularity of gemstone jewelry now compared to diamond jewelry.

b) The biggest trend has been the increase of younger buyers.

c) The millennials (aged between 18-30 years) and the generation x (aged between 30-40 years) have been purchasing more Gemstone Jewelry and noticeably have preference for natural gemstone compared to manmade gemstone jewelry.
