Q:  What kind of jewelry do you see trending among your customers right now? —Kendra Logan, sales manager, Siebke Hoyt Jewelers, Cedar Rapids, Iowa “Varying colors of gold are strong in gold fashion and engagement rings. Chocolate gold does very well in gold fashion, and rose gold is picking up steam in fashion and engagement rings. I realized this after we hosted a trunk show with Simon G and pretty much everything we sold was rose gold. In bridal, halo designs are still very strong, along with vintage, split shanks, and classic shared prongs. Men’s wrist-wear [bracelets] is doing well from Scott Kay. Looking ahead, I am stocking longer diamond fashion necklaces from Hearts On Fire, as well as continuing to stock long strands of pearls, roughly 36-inch, in varying colors for summer. Cherry and peacock colors are very popular now.”  —Peter Manka Jr., owner, Ben G
