getting engaged?? There's an app for that, too

Everybody wants a bite of the "apple."

According to reports from the Las Vegas Jewelry Industry show, Stuller has partnered with Gemvision Corp. on an iPhone application that allows users to pick out a diamond engagement ring, try it out for size using an image of their own hand, share the image with friends and find a jeweler to buy the ring from.

Be ahead of the curve with these industry trends for fall

Among the apparel trends that industry insiders said consumers will find for fall are shades of gray, metallics, sheer materials, embellishments in the form of sequins and stones, sophisticated cocktail dresses, bright colors, and velvet.

As for jewelry, one focus will be on all things "green," whether that means nature-inspired designs that incorporate butterfly or snake motifs, or designs featuring green-toned gemstones with earthy hues such as brown and yellow. Also look for "gladiator-style" rings and bangles featuring crossover styling, medallions, double-hoop earrings, stacking pieces, hearts, knots and paisleys.
