Lustre: It's What to Buy
Lustre Magazine is the single most important jewelry trade publication for the luxury jeweler who caters to an upscale clientele. Every issue of Lustre provides America's best jewelers with critical information on the lifestyle trends, influences, and overall luxury buying patterns that impact the purchases of affluent jewelry customers. We give the luxury retailer buying insights with forecasts made six to 18 months in advance, by experts in marketing, fashion, media, and the arts.
When it comes to identifying must-have luxury jewelry and watches, Lustre is the undisputed leader. We showcase the hottest new collections in original photo shoots by one of the country's leading jewelry photographers. Color experts clue you in on what gems to watch for, what shade in watch straps to note, and what precious metals will be making news. Retailers routinely talk about their hottest selling items and their number-one classifications--whether it's the hoop earring, the cocktail ring, the extra-long necklace, or all of the above!
When it comes to fashion, we show you fashion direct from the runways of Paris, Milan, New York, and London. Our fashion photographer brings you original high-style shoots, featuring the hottest new jewelry designs on leading models in the latest ready-to-wear.
