The annual 12 Jewelry Trends for 2014 list aims to serve as a guideline for store purchases in the new year, highlighting pieces and materials trending now, based on the clothing, color, red carpet, and real-life influences at work in the market. Stud earrings are the 12th and final trend on the list; here’s why they’re important for jewelers this year.
Stud earrings. These are an ideal to accent minimalist looks, as well as a fave (an unfortunate one, according to some) among Hollywood stars who often wear them to awards shows. Studs are also inherently wallet friendly, unisex, and available in designs as numerous as the celebrities who walk the red carpet. Give thanks to artists with track records for turning out super-cute and covetable stud styles. And a companion look that should be on your radar: single studs with decorative jackets.
