Welcome back to Jewelry Design Basics.
To date, we have been exploring the tools, media and design fundamentals.
Recently, we took an in-depth look at the Spring/Summer color trends from the New York and London Fashion Weeks, in fashion forecasts and trends for 2020.
We can use these forecasts and Jewelry Trends to our advantage when we design our collections and lines this year.
