Jewelers predict hot “Items people wili want for their gift wish list .LUXURIOUS STRANDS of pearls, chunky gold jewelry and - vivid gemstones are at the top of _ this year’s Christmas wish list, ac- cording to the Canadian Jewelers ’ Association (CJA). The association consulted with buyers for Canada’s top jewelry stores to find the hottest trends in jewelry for the Christmas season. Pearls in the style of Coco Chanel are popular, whether they are opere iength, a choker, or long, layered sirands. The fashion experts predict that pearls will be used as a versatile accessory this season, worn for formal and party aE occasions. Also emerging as favorites are bold and lively colored gemstones reminiscent of the 1920s. In fancy laser-cut shapes, these gemstones wil! brighten up a look with new . ting and neck!ace designs. A throwback to the ’60s, along with plaids and bouffant hairdos, is gold. Chunky, beaded or sculpted, gold is also a favorite for Christmas. According to CJA, another idea to change a ‘70s classic is to add dangling colored stones and charms to hoop earrings for a fresh look. fiat BIGGER...
