Reading Time: 3 minutes Pearls have quietly moved from the back of the case to the center of the conversation. For years, pearls were treated as heritage inventory — weddings and milestones. Reliable, refined, predictable. But what’s happening now isn’t nostalgia. It’s momentum. The global pearl jewelry market surpassed $13 billion in 2024 and is projected to double over the next decade. That kind of growth does not happen quietly. It signals a category shift from tradition to traction. Market research conducted by SJN shows pearls intersecting with three of the strongest forces shaping jewelry retail today: maximalism, gender-neutral styling, and accessible luxury. The aesthetic shift is unmistakable. Today’s pearls are baroque, irregular, oversized, and paired with chunky chains or mixed metals.

Reading Time: 7 minutes Reusch Jewelers, founded in 1885, is a retail jeweler with a rich and lengthy history inextricably tied to the birth and expansion of America’s railroad system. The Petoskey, Michigan-based flagship store staff (along with those at their second location in Cheboygan, MI) celebrated their 140th anniversary last year.  Jacob Frederick Reusch learned watchmaking in Germany. In the 1800s, he immigrated to the United States with his Old World skill set.
