It can take the skills of a seer or the years of experience garnered by a veteran retailer to predict which pieces will sell for an upcoming holiday. But after looking at the market, National Jeweler is going to take a gander on Valentine's 2010: engagement rings will be in demand, as will sterling silver designs, pieces that say "love"--sometimes quite literally--at prices that aren't too heartbreaking. Below are some of the sterling silver picks that have us sold.
