Fashion jewelry to have “it” status this holiday season – retailers optimistic.

Online fashion jewelry purveyor shopterrene.com announced today that it has nearly doubled its online inventory in anticipation of increased demand this holiday season.

Jewelry is expected to be the hot gift this year – reflecting rising optimism in the economic recovery as well as consumer desire for solid investments that do not depreciate in value.

Shopterrene.com visitors will find an expanded array of hand-crafted products from around the world on the site this season, including turquoise jewelry and the site’s unique gemstone jewelry sets.

Terrene CEO Nancy Alexander has hand-selected all the additional items for the holiday season.  “These are special times that call for special pieces. Nothing on my site is made in a factory, and you won’t find my jewelry at the chain store in the mall,” she says. “People are still cautious about making any expenditure right now, so I want customers to feel absolutely comfortable investing in a very special gift from our site.”

 With the collapse of financial institutions and investor portfolios, interest in “solid” investments such as gold has skyrocketed in recent months. Many individuals are turning to jewelry as a gift that will hold its value and can be passed down through generations.

 “I think we’re all reflecting more on the value of the things we buy. Jewelry is something enduring – both in its worth and the enjoyment it gives to the recipient,” adds Alexander.  “I think there are a lot of people out there ready for the pleasure a small wrapped box can bring.”
