The sin city known as Las Vegas hosted the 16th annual JCK jewelry show for five days in the beginning of June. This year, over 21,000 retailers from 72 countries took part in the glamorous exhibition and had an excellent chance to meet some 3,400 manufacturers and suppliers of diamonds, gems, watches and other fine jewelry. As a major event in the fine jewelry industry, the JCK convention demonstrated the most up to date trends in the industry, including trends of the glamorous industry-highlight - the fancy color diamonds jewelry.
One remarkable trend in the fancy diamonds industry is the fact that black is back, though when it comes to black it is never really out of date. Fancy black diamond rings, pendants and bangles drew a lot of attention, and are expected to be a major trend in jewelry fashion once the summer is over.
Another trend in the industry seems to be the brown, or chocolate, fancy color diamonds. Pieces encrusted with fancy chocolate diamonds certainly created a buzz, and many retailers agreed that it is a part of an increasing trend in the jewelry industry nowadays, originated from the chocolate fancy diamonds, to embrace every brownish item with enthusiasm. Some of them went as far as wondering if brown is about to become the new black.
Another emerging design trend this year was fruit inspired designs, which were quite frequent to spot throughout the exhibition, but an even more refreshing trend was the designers' underwater-inspired jewelry - many exhibitors designed sea turtles, octopus and starfish necklaces, rings and even pins encrusted with fancy color diamonds, combining natural beauty in cute-looking precious items.
The spider cuffs were among the most remarkable items of this year's JCK in Las Vegas, combining most of this year's trends - animalistic, cute and encrusted with brown and white fancy color diamonds. Combining all these trendy elements, it is easy to say that it is about to become one of the hottest items of the upcoming season.
