trend spotting for beads and jewelry

I went to the Keystone Fashion mall recently on a gathering trip and noticed a jewelry trend in most of the high end shops there. 
Lots of multiple strand necklaces with CHAINS like you wouldn't believe. 
Many darker patinas on the metals and beads. Pearls are back with abundance. I especially like the treand of using large chunky semi precious stones. Neat trip for design ideas. I recommend you go to a few shops that you normally don't frequent and see what's out there for trend watching!
