ALL THAT GLITTERS IN VEGAS IS GOLD

Known to be the largest and most prestigious jewellery show held in the state, JCK Las Vegas came to a glittery end on the 3rd of June. 
After five days of showcasing the newest designs and creations, it appears that bigger, bolder and brighter is definitely a trend that is here to stay long term!
Think of the *popular* television show 'Dynasty' from back in the 80's and you will have a good idea of the sorts of designs that were showcased, from gold chunky rings and cuffs to a complete one off 306 carat black opal from Australia.
So here is the review of the show pointing out the biggest trends and styles coming direct from Las Vegas and what to look out for on our shores over the next few months.
The bolder the gold, the better!
Now that gold is an affordable material once again, the designers have shown this through these collections with a huge rise in the amount of over-sized chains, chunky links and large thick cuffs.  Rose gold was very prominent at the show, indicating we will possibly see a big surge in the marked for this colour.
One offs are cool
More and more woman, and men, are showing a desire for jewellery that no one else will have.  Bespoke items were very popular at the show with designers on hand and poised to give inspiration with their creations.
Fluttering by
Butterflies were also big news as the show with designer showcasing the elegance and beauty of the insect via bracelets, collars and earrings.
Not the norm
Unusual designs have really taken off over the past few months with people more likely to experiment and adorn their bodies with alternative patterns including snakes, skulls or garden flowers.
