Jewelry Trend No. 1: Abalone. What with our craze for opal and moonstone in 2013, it’s no surprise that our eyes—and wallets—are gravitating toward abalone this year. The thick inner layer of this sea creature’s shell typically comprises mother-of-pearl, radiating color in iridescent fashion, which makes it so desirable to us. Most abalone jewels exhibit a bluish-green color, but you’ll see other rainbow shades in there, too. The decoration is mesmerizing, mystical, and—bonus—quite affordable, in most cases. Here are five of my favorites for your store. Be sure to click each image for more information and get them into your showcases!
