Journey Jewelry Latest Growing Trend in the Industry

NEW YORK - July 26, 2013 - PRLog -- One of the fastest recovering sectors of business over the last several years has been the jewelry industry. Primarily this growth has been buoyed by the always lucrative wedding business. Today, other aspects of the business have shown substantial gains in sales versus previous years. The Diamond Suppliers is proud to announce that the newest style of jewelry that has shown dramatic increase is journey jewelry.

One of the newer styles of fashion jewelry on the market, journey jewelry is unique because it is the one design that is continually added to. As a couple begins a relationship, the pendant that is the base of the jewelry has one diamond on it. As the relationship continues to grow, a new, slightly larger diamond is added to mark milestones. Some couples choose to use the pendant to signify the engagement, wedding and anniversary, while others opt to add diamonds each time a child is born. It is that flexibility, allowing the couple to make their own decisions as to how to use it, that helps to make it one of the most popular styles of jewelry.

As an ancillary aspect of this remarkable growth has been an increase in the marketplace for certified loose diamonds. Most pieces of journey jewelry are not considered to be complete until there are, on average, four diamonds on each pendant. Professional jewelers across the country are reporting strong increases with demands for the diamonds, as well as the precious metals required when a customer wishes to construct a piece of custom design jewelry. There are also more affordable predesigned pendants that customers can choose from as well. Because it is a piece of jewelry that is not complete for several years, most experts agree that the growth trends that journey jewelry has shown will continue for several years into the future.
