The annual list of 12 Jewelry Trends for 2015 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. Ear climbers are the seventh trend on the list. Here are four new options for retailers to consider stocking.
Ear climbers. Comet-inspired styles that seemingly creep up the ear made a splash in many collections last year (along with front-to-backs and jackets), and they’re not going anywhere in 2015. If anything, their presence will mushroom, considering that volume makers like World Trade Jewelers are creating many affordable versions, while the trend-setting designer set continues making higher-end, aspirational looks. Climbers are often stud or stud-and-hook combination pieces that snake up the ear lobe, and shoppers young and old love them for their modern, funky aesthetic.
