WOW! I’m shocked…<\/h2>\n

\nJust years ago I was stating how I was so happy<\/strong> nugget jewelry was gone…<\/p>\n

\nSurprise, surprise!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nAfter being gone from jewelry stores for decades;<\/p>\n

Nugget is BACK!<\/h2>\n

\nIn the 80’s and 90’s<\/strong> it was so hot and popular, nugget was everywhere; rings<\/strong>, earrings, pendants<\/strong>, bracelets, watches<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

\nBut as white gold took over the market, nugget faded away<\/strong> (much like the herringbone chain and omega<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\nBut with yellow gold<\/strong> sneaking it’s way into the system, that brings all things yellow back<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

At Zales, right now:<\/h2>\n

\nYou’ll see the first signs of nugget emerging<\/strong>. Zales<\/a>, being owned by the largest jewelry chain in the world (Sterling inc.<\/strong>), is taking these little craters for a ride.<\/p>\n

Check out the line:<\/h2>\n

\n\"Nugget<\/a><\/p>\n

\nI’ve never been a big fan of nugget<\/strong>, but many people love them. Some would melt down all their scrap gold pieces (old rings, broken chains, bent earrings…) and design their own one-of-a-kind nugget ring<\/strong> or pendant (See an independent jeweler<\/strong> for that). Some would even add in a diamond <\/strong>or two.<\/p>\n

They sold really, really well.<\/h2>\n

\nAnd now they’re back, but then again, so is all sorts of yellow goodies<\/strong> (thanks much to the trend of rose gold<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

\nThe biggest concerns I had with nugget were the cheap designs<\/strong>. Many rings were nothing but a thin shell<\/strong> that would dig into your finger and leave deep imprints. That smarts!<\/strong> So if you’re shopping for a ring, try it on, look underneath, see if it’s solid<\/strong>, flat and comfortable<\/strong>. Heavier, more thick pieces feel better and look better.<\/p>\n

So what’s your opinion?<\/h2>\n

\nWill you be buying nugget?<\/strong> Do you still have any jewelry on hand?<\/p>\n

\nDo you think nugget is back for good?<\/p>\n

Let me know in the comments below.<\/h2>\n

\nAnd if you’re itching to buy, check out the full Zales line of nugget jewelry here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
