Millennial tastes are driving some popular looks.

A few industry experts spoke with National Jeweler and identified trends to watch for in the year ahead. The report notes that younger consumers are gravitating toward two looks in particular: mixed metals and unique stones. “As bridal trends continue to evolve to suit today’s millennial couples, mixed metals have been and will continue to be a top trend, especially when it comes to rose gold mixing with white gold and platinum. … Also speaking to today’s younger consumers are unique gemstone shapes or cuts, both in colored stones and diamonds, it says.”

Why This Jeweler Chose Wilkerson

Mark Lauer is the owner of Mark Michael Diamond Designs, the Minnesota-based jewelry gallery known for exceptional and uniquely designed diamond jewelry. Though he loved creating the beautiful jewelry his business was known for, retirement was an exciting alternative to the 60+ hours a week he’d spent building it up. He called Wilkerson to help with a retirement sale. “I did talk to two other companies, but I just didn’t feel they offered the same services that Wilkerson did,” he says. “I knew Wilkerson had the expertise to follow through and give me the service and results that I wanted. They’re the number one rock stars in this industry.”
