Top 10, Week Ending 8/19/16

I'm starting to get this down to a weekly routine.  This week I deleted necklace, earrings, bracelet, ring because they would always take four of the top ten spots.  It's starting to get interesting:

1. BLUE
2. TREE (A THREE-WAY TIE FOR #2)
3. BEAD (TIED FOR #2)
4. STEAMPUNK (TIED FOR #2)
5. MEN  (A FOUR WAY TIE FOR #5)
6. PAPER (TIED FOR #5)
7. LEATHER (TIED FOR #5)
8. MURANO (TIED FOR #5)
9. GEMSTONE
10. SEASIDE

This weights handmade more than vintage, and is not an exact science.  

Top Ten WE 8/12/2016

1. Silver (including Sterling)
2. Earring
3. Pearl
4. Necklace
5. Bracelet
6. Ring (including Wedding Band)
7. Gold (including 14K)
8. Wedding
9. Turquoise
10. White

This is not scientific by any standard!  These are compiled from tweets having to do with handmade and vintage jewelry.  Handmade is weighted much more than vintage.

I'm thinking maybe next week I will leave out earring, bracelet, necklace and ring because they are always in there. Leaving them out may give us some more useful information.  What do you think?

Top Ten WE 8/5/2016

• Necklace
• Bracelet
• Earrings
• Sterling Silver
• Turquoise
• Gemstone
• Beaded
• White
• Crystal
• Flower

These are compiled from tweets having to do with handmade and vintage jewelry.  They are not exactly in order, but the ones at the top of the list were mentioned more than the ones at the bottom of the list, and handmade is weighted more than vintage.

Weekly Jewelry Trends 7/29/16

Today I am going to try something new.  I have picked (according to my calculations) the top ten trends this week for handmade and vintage jewelry on Twitter.  These are based on tweets.  We'll have to wait and see if this is successful, or if I come up with the same thing each week.  Success would be not coming up with the same ten items each week!

Anyway, drum roll please.....    Here they are:

• Bracelet
• Pearl
• Blue
• Necklace
• Sterling Silver
• Gold
• Agate
• Jasper
• Gift Ideas
• Gemstone

These are not necessarily in exact order, although the ones at the top were definitely mentioned more than the ones at the bottom.  It's not an exact science.

I hope these give all the jewelry makers out there some inspiration for the week ahead!  Next week maybe I'll even have a graphic!
