I was thinking today that there have been certain pieces and events that have definitely sparked trends, passions, and a LOT of buying around here. Care to name any?
My earliest recollection of a trend tied to one ring was Reena's cushion halo. That seemed to spark a massive halo'ing of all kinds of cuts.
Coati's James Meyer ring also sent the man to really learn to balance his project calendar! He got BUSY!
Cushions, for some time, also seemed a trend. Moremoremore's three stone cushion ring got a lot of people interested in modern cushions, but then soon chunkier cushions followed.
The ring that shall not be named got people interested in transitionals, I think...but I believe the full on OEC craze came a few years after that...even more so with the finds posted from ebay.
I remember Firegoddess' bezeled diamonds earrings...not sure she was the first, but I certainly jumped on THAT bandwagon!
And of course, the current earring bandwagon seems to be the IDJ earring jackets! Before that though, there was mad rush for the WF ones.
