Wrist Wear Trends: Bangles, Baubles and More

Marilyn Monroe had it right: Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. That one elegant statement captures the timeless appeal of not just diamonds but all accessories in a woman’s wardrobe. The latest census report published by Accessories Magazine in conjunction with The NPD Group, projected that 2012 sales of all women’s accessories would reach a whopping $30 billion. Of this, jewelry makes up a big chunk of the pie at a little over 35% market share. So jewelry might just be the thing to jazz up your store sales.

Wrist wear is especially fun because the possibilities are endless and the merchandising display ideas equally arresting. GIFT SHOP’s Facebook fans attested to the popularity of the category in their stores voting for stacked and leather bracelets as clear winners in the category.

Here is a wrap-up of what to watch for in must-wear wrist wear!
