Although New York Fashion Week has just begun to kick off the international spring 2018 runway shows, certain directions in jewelry are clear. Here is how the trends are beginning to shape up on the catwalk and how we have begun to see them in the collections of forward thinking independent jewelry designers.
We will continue to update our coverage on Spring 2018 as the shows continue in London, Milan and Paris.
