Beginning in the next eight to ten weeks, teens and tweens will be prowling the local strip centers, malls and discount stores in hunt of bargains on the latest trends. Spending remains tight, and unlike in years past, teens will not be spending over one hundred dollars on a pair of designer jeans.

What better way to do that, than a new piece of trendy jewelry? Peace signs are hot.

Or how about a fun reminder of your summer vacation? Watch for kids to be wearing wholesale shell jewelry for a fresh and summery back to school look. Many retailers are beginning to pick up on this jewelry trend, and pre-bookings on catchy counter displays with trendy jewelry are way up.

Rasta Jewelry

Wow, can you believe the sales on rasta jewelry? The popular jewelry boasting the red, yellow, black and green colors of the Jamaican flag have been a huge hit so far this season. Some of the rasta jewelry even includes a pendant with an image of Bob Marley. These styles of rasta jewelry are selling as well if not better than the more generic styles. If there are any other retailers out there that would like to share success of their rasta jewelry sales, please leave us your comments here.

Again, you can check out cooljewels.com, they seem to have the best assortment of rastafari jewelry. If your shop sells any type of rasta wear, including rasta jewelry such as rasta earrings or necklaces, then you'll definitely want to check out this site. The only thing I found that they do not carry is rasta body jewelry, however I have found them on another site, but this type of rasta jewelry did not sell well for us at all.



So, what has caused the recent popularity of rasta jewelry? I mean, rasta wear has been around for centuries, but as of the last couple years, it seems to have gone main stream! If reggae jewelry or other Rastafarian styles where ever going to take off, one would figure it would have been in the 90's when the "Cool Runnings" movie came out about the Jamaican bobsled team. However, my guess is that rasta jewelry has been popular because of the way it fits in with the whole "Peace, Love, and Happiness" theme. Ever since the peace sign has come back into popularity, and boy, did it come back with a vengeance - Bob Marley rasta jewelry has hitched a free ride.
