Considered by many as the “it” category, the segment, which is known for its accessible price and edgy designs, has slowly broadened its price spectrum in order to cater to recession-weary consumers.

With an influx of contemporary brands and fine jewelers offering diffusion lines, designers have lowered prices to remain simultaneously competitive and attractive to shoppers, who are looking for new ways to update their closets.
