The Month In Review: September 2020 September 30, 2020 (0 comments)

Merrick, NY—The jewelry industry is quickly adapting to selling in the “next normal,” with new trends and designs moving full steam ahead. Le Vian’s famed Red Carpet Revue, delayed from its usual Las Vegas time slot, debuted in September and named “Symbols of Protection” as the number-one design trend of the year. It also highlighted “adaptability” as a key trend as well. Likewise, De Beers revealed its key design trend research, highlighting natural beauty, sustainability, craft, and lasting value as the main themes in diamond jewelry design, something echoed in the Natural Diamond Council's latest trend book. Meanwhile, the Tiffany/LVMH merger is off—they’re heading to divorce court in what’s shaping up to be some nasty proceedings.

Here’s a recap of important news from September:
