My final observation on the JA Jewelry Show and most surprising takeaway was the continuation of the rise of Silver Jewelry firms replacing many of the better Diamond Jewelry Manufacturers. Certainly more an economic driven trend than anything else. Classic diamond pieces, elegant drop earrings and sparkling bracelets were among the most popular looks spotted on the red carpet Sunday at the 85th Academy Awards.A few celebrities, including past Oscar winner Halle Berry and Naomi Watts, a nominee this year, also donned blackened metal pieces and edgier designs, a trend predicted prior to the show.For men, watches reigned supreme, ranging from sportier multiple-time zone timepieces to watches with diamond-set dials.
