7 new pieces from JA New York Winter
JA New York Winter gave brands and designers the opportunity to display their newest pieces for spring. Here are seven jewels found at the show.

New York--The JA New York Winter Show took place Sunday through Tuesday, providing brands and designers the opportunity to show off their new jewelry designs and capitalize on some of the trends for the year.
The pieces on the show floor also gave some idea what stores will be stocking and consumers will be buying in 2015.
If the show was any indication, stacking will continue to be in, ear pieces are still having their day, and colored gemstones will dazzle in the year to come. Gold jewelry and bold metal pieces also made a strong showing.
