If we could name 2016 anything else, we would call it “The Year of the Cartier Love Bracelet.” The iconic accessory was, without question, our best-selling item sitewide, especially in yellow gold. The entire Love collection was overall very successful this year. Love and trinity rings and the cartier juste un clou nail bracelet were all top sellers. Another Cartier staple deserving of an honorable mention is the panthere motif. Also from the French, Van Cleef & Arpels was also a fine jewelry favorite. Most popular: Van Cleef & Arpels Alhambra bracelets and Van Cleef & Arpels pendant necklaces in the clover motif.

Not far behind Cartier was Van Cleef & Arpels Favorites included the classic “Alhambra” Clover necklaces and bracelets and the Van Cleef & Arpels Perlee necklace. Another popular American desinger was David Yurman. Cable bracelets, Albion necklaces and Chatelaine earrings were the favorites of the year.

Finally, always a favorite, costume jewelry from chic designers was on trend. From Hermes, we saw massive logo earrings follow the statement earrings trends. The Hermes H necklaces are always a jewelry-lover favorite. Brooches also made a comeback this year, and Hermes was the designer of choice for trying the trend. Finally, faux and bold pearls were a must-have and they took the form of drop earrings and multi-strand necklaces. Hermes also deserves a mention for their enamel bangles and clic clac H bracelets
