The Pieces That Stunned at Fashion Week 2023

Spring Fashion Week, a showcase of the newest, trendy collection of designer clothing and jewelry, is one of the most anticipated events of the season. Jewelry took center stage on runways around the world during 2023’s first Fashion Weeks. We have the year’s jewelry trends to inform and inspire your spring jewelry haul.

1. Mix Your Metals

Mixing and matching is in: In 2023, wearing multiple metals is a great way to express your edge. Punk jewelry inspiration on this year’s runways modernized the old tale of separating your metals. Konstantino has opulent mixed-metal pieces to help you stay trendy with this unique look. Shop the Konstantino sterling silver and 18k gold bracelet at Cecil’s for a new spring statement piece.

2. You’re So Golden

Gold shone brightly across runways at Spring Fashion week, and we love a trend that’s easy to style with bright spring attire. Alex Sepkus’s pieces are known for their luxurious, yet approachable gold designs. The Martini Rings incorporate striking gold metals with an abstract twist. Make golden hour every hour when you shop this collection and more at Cecil’s.

3. H-ear to Make a Statement

Fashion Week 2023 showed us that there’s no doubt that earrings set a precedent and are the perfect addition for spring fashion. If you’re looking to make a statement, the Sticks and Stones earrings from Alex Sepkus are the perfect conversation starter. Statement earrings scream confidence, and tell the world you’re bold and beautiful, just in time for spring.

We know you’re excited to get started, and that’s the easy part. Come visit us in-store to view these pieces and many more. Book an appointment at http://cecilsfinejewelry.com/about/ or call us at 501-225-5068.

Spring Jewelry Trends to Instantly Upgrade Your Collection

Warm weather and subtle flower blossoms are signs that spring is upon us! As you’re preparing for this change of season, you’re also probably wondering which jewelry trends are blooming. We have the inside scoop on the jewelry styles, gems, and details that will make you shine.

1. Shoulder-Length Earrings

These so-called “shoulder-duster” earrings were a hot topic on the Spring and Summer runways for 2023. These uniquely long earrings make a bold statement and are an instant upgrade for any outfit. Start by checking out these Dilamani diamond strand dangle earrings to spring into a new season of fashion. Pair these sparkling accessories with a casual outfit or dress up your attire for a night out.

2. All Things Pearls

A string of pearls reads consummate classic, and contemporary approaches and settings seen on the spring runway prove the timeless nature of pearls. Try this open-style pearl drop pendant from Mastoloni and style with some simple gold stud earrings for a fresh perspective.

3. On the Cuff

Chic and distinctive, cuffs are an easy way to bring a trendy accessory to your spring looks. Chunky or thin, we’re betting that you’ll be upgrading your fine jewelry collection with a seasonal cuff from Cecil’s. Consider stacking a combination of larger and smaller cuffs for a stylish look and start with this Lucia Modern by Marco Bicego, which you can find on our website or in-store.

4. Florals and Flowers in Bloom

Right on time for spring blooms, we predict floral designs will make a big splash this season. Runways showcased colorful blooms and plant-inspired pieces for your spring collection. Plus, a statement ring is always a good idea. Start with this Marco Bicego Petali ring with a diamond center, and pair with the matching Lunari Petali pendant for a coordinated celebration of the season of growth. 

5. Sculpted Silver is Here to Stay

Sculpted Silver is a cool and sophisticated medal that will provide a sparkle to your spring attire. This Chandler Citizen watch layers the trendy silver in a practical timepiece. A Konstantino silver ring provides additional texture to spiff up your outfit, and both can be found in our store.

Do This, Not That: Tips for Holiday Jewelry Shopping

The holiday season is the perfect time to start thinking about those bigger gifts for that special someone. Jewelry is a meaningful and special gift that can remind your significant other of your love for them, all year around. Whether you’re shopping for a signature pendant, elegant bracelet, or an engagement ring (wink wink!), use this ultimate guide for making your holiday jewelry purchases.  

BUDGET
Don’t set an unrealistic budget 

Chances are, cost is probably one of the top considerations when researching a luxury jewelry purchase for yourself or a loved one. As you’re developing your budget, consider the type of piece you’re looking for, the gem, the cut, and the size. It’s important to set realistic expectations for pricing – our experts can help you find the right piece in your price range. PLUS, Cecil’s offers both financing and payment plans for our customers’ bigger purchases because your partner’s happiness is priceless.

Working one-on-one with our trusted, local professionals will give you peace of mind knowing that you are assured of both quality and a fair price.

PREFERENCES AND TASTE
Don’t guess on preferences and taste 

When in doubt, don’t guess! Jewelry is an investment and if you’re planning to surprise someone, you’ll still want to get a sense of their taste, including styles, colors, sizes, gems, cuts, and other preferences. Casually suggest going jewelry shopping and come see us at 10720 North Rodney Parham Road in Little Rock. Shopping with your partner can help you better understand their preferences and ~secretly~ figure out their ring size if that’s your motive. 

Bonus: Cecil’s also offers ring sizing services if you’re unsure of your partner’s size and want to keep your purchase a secret. Learn more at http://cecilsfinejewelry.com/special-services/ or visit us in store. 

Do become an undercover agent

One way to secretly research your partner’s preferred brands and styles without directly asking them is to check out their likes and follows on social media. See if you notice any styles that they gravitate towards or brands they interact with. If your partner already has some pieces, check their collection for styles they seem to like and make sure you’re not selecting anything too similar to (or different from!) what they already have. Plus, you can sneakily discover their ring size by checking their jewelry box and measuring the size of their rings. 

If you’re completely lost as to your partner’s preferences, consider purchasing a Cecil’s Gift Certificate instead to surprise them. Set the budget and enjoy shopping together for an opulent signature piece. 

PICKING YOUR JEWELER
Don’t be afraid to ask questions 

If you’re shopping in secret and aren’t as familiar with jewelry as your partner, it can be intimidating and overwhelming to look for that perfect addition to your loved one’s jewelry collection. Asking questions about price, styles, maintenance, customization, and other components will ensure that you know exactly what you’re buying. Our Cecil’s experts are in store to answer your questions and make sure you’re completely satisfied with your purchase.

Do choose Cecil’s

When you’re jewelry shopping, you need a retailer with a passion for the craft and your best interests in mind, and Cecil’s is that place. We love jewelry, we love the eternal symbolism and elegant grace that fine jewelry brings to life.
