With 30 years in the business, Fireworks has seen a few trends in jewellery design come and go. “There’s a trend towards yellow gold,” says owner Judy Little. “Bracelets are coming back… it’s sort of a power piece for a woman, on the arm, not on the hand.” There are new bracelets for men, anticipating an upswing in interest, available in steel and titanium. And there are trends in wedding bands, too. “More modern, cleaner lines. A more machined look….simpler, with bigger diamonds. We went through a whole phase of Celtic knotting. We did a lot of those!” 1569 Barrington Street, 420-1735
