Your jewelry box called… It’s ready for an upgrade. At K. Hollis Jewelers, we’ve been keeping a close eye on what’s trending—and not just on runways and reels. We’re talking about real-life  trends that our customers love to wear and make their own. Our fashion cases are constantly changing, so what you see one week might not be here the next. Whether you’re layering up or keeping it minimal, here are the trends we’re currently obsessed with—plus easy styling tips to help you wear them with confidence. Layering and Jewelry Stacks When in doubt, add some more! Layered jewelry isn’t going anywhere—and thank goodness. Whether it’s chains, pendants, rings, or bangles, this trend is here to help you look effortlessly put-together (even if you hit snooze three times). How to wear it: Mix bold statement pieces with dainty accents. Stack with different textures, finishes, and stones. Mix lengths to avoid tangles and to create visual interest and negative space. Why we love it : You can make staple pieces look new when paired with different layers and jewelry stacks. It is also a great way to make a look feel custom and curated.  Pearls and Pops of Color Classic meets creative–and we are here for it. It gives chic energy without being basic. Accent your favorite pearls with a mix of colored stones. It’s like pairing an accent bag with a white top and jeans. How to wear it: Pair dainty pearls with chunky colored stones. Mix pearl and colored stone charms. Stagger pearls and colors broken up by simple metals. Why we love it : These looks are timeless with a twist. We love anything that is unique and can be mixed and matched.  Chunky Statement Pieces Because life is too short to be subtle. A simple way to stand out. Big hoops, bold bangles, and rings you can spot from across the room. For those who like to stand out without trying too hard. Add a chunky piece to any look, and if it feels over the top, you're probably doing it right. How to wear it: Pick one statement piece and let it shine. Style bold pieces with dainty accents for contrast. Go monochromatic with your outfit and let the jewelry do all the talking. Why we love it : It only takes one statement piece to elevate a simple look.  Chains and Charms Where personality meets versatility. Layered on paperclip chains, wrapped around your wrist, or hanging from a hoop, charms are a personal statement with personality. You can go bold or keep it simple. Whether you’re looking for a milestone piece or love to show off your imaginative spirit, chains and charms bring character to your jewelry. How to wear it: Layer charms on a paperclip chain as a necklace or a bracelet. Create charm clusters on a simple chair or a spring ring. Personalize hoop earrings with charm bunches. Why we love it : It is the perfect blend of sentimental and style. They also make great pieces for gifting thoughtful jewelry. Bezel Settings Sleek, modern, and functional.  Bezel settings hug your stone keeping it in place without the snags, making it perfect for everyday wear with no sacrifice to style.  How to style it: Layer bezel set necklaces with your favorite chains. Go bold with a single bezel set cocktail ring. Stack bezel eternity bands with plain metal rings for a modern mix. Why we love it : They’re secure settings with a modernly organic look that is beautiful, unique, and timeless.  Mixed Metals Silver + Gold = No rules, just really good style. Forget everything you have been told about mixing metals. This trend proves you don’t have to choose sides—you can wear it all together and look amazing while doing it.  How to wear it: Start with one two toned piece to bridge your metals Mix warm and cool tones for a balanced look like a silver chain and gold hoops. Add contrast with textures and bridge gaps with clear stones. Why we love it : Because now you can feel safe to try new metals because it isn’t a make or break decision to change up your entire jewelry wardrobe.  Ready for a refresh?

Have you ever inherited a box of jewelry from a relative, only to wonder if any of it is real gold? Or maybe you’ve found a single earring tucked away in a drawer and thought, “Is this worth anything?”  Whether it’s an old chain from high school, a bracelet that’s been sitting in your jewelry box for years, or a broken ring you’ve been meaning to fix, you might be surprised by what you have laying around. If you’re in the Batavia, IL area and want answers, here’s a simple guide to help you check your gold jewelry at home—and when it’s time to visit an expert. 1. Check for Stamps or Hallmarks The first step is to look for small markings called hallmarks that indicate the gold’s purity. These are typically located: Inside the band of a ring On the clasp of a necklace or bracelet On the back or post of an earring Common gold stamps include: 10K  (41.7% gold) 14K  (58.3% gold) 18K  (75% gold) 585  (14K) 750  (18K) If you don’t see a stamp, don’t worry—it doesn’t always mean it’s not real. Older pieces may have worn-down marks, or certain vintage styles might not have been stamped at all. That’s when it helps to have a trusted jeweler take a closer look. 2. Consider the Condition—Even Broken Gold Has Value You might think, “This chain is broken—probably worthless,”  but that’s not necessarily true. Gold is measured by weight, purity, and market value , so even if your piece is bent, dented, or missing a stone, it can still hold value. Whether it’s a single earring, a tangled bracelet, or a class ring you no longer wear, don’t toss it—bring it in.  The type of gold (yellow, white, or rose) doesn’t affect the value itself— it’s the gold content that counts. 3. When in Doubt, Get a Professional Evaluation While at-home tests can give you a hint, the only way to know for sure is to have your gold checked by an expert. At K. Hollis Jewelers in Batavia, IL , our experienced team goes beyond standard tools and testing methods—so you get accurate, trustworthy information. Whether you’re looking to sell, trade in, or simply learn more about your pieces, we’ll guide you every step of the way. And if you’ve got a family heirloom that feels too special to sell, we’ll help you explore custom redesign options to give it new life. 4. What You Can Do with Old Gold Jewelry Once you know the value of your gold, there are several ways you can make it work for you: Sell for Cash:  Get a fair offer based on current market rates. Trade for Store Credit:  We’re offering a 30% bonus on cash gold trade-ins  or a 40% bonus toward store credit —a great way to treat yourself to something new. Redesign Into Something New:  Use your gold to create a one-of-a-kind custom piece—turn that broken chain into a pendant, or use grandma’s ring to create a necklace you’ll love to wear.

Hollis Jewelers, we’re more than just a jewelry store—we’re your trusted local resource  for honest advice, expert evaluations, and personal service. We proudly serve Batavia, Geneva, St. Charles, and the surrounding Fox Valley area. If you’re wondering “Is my gold jewelry real?”  or “What is my gold worth?” —stop by and let’s find out together.

We were never fans of the shopping experience we had at most jewelry stores, so when we opened our little shop back in 2005, we set out to create an experience that we would feel good about if we were customers. Our core pricing philosophy is simple - we price our products and services at a fair price every day. No games. No gimmicks. Here are a couple of the “don’ts” that are inherent in that philosophy: Don’t mark up our prices so that we can mark them down and call it a “discount” or a “sale” Don’t offer or advertise gimmicks that make customers feel like they are getting a great “deal” when they are not Don’t run a continuous stream of sales so only the customers that buy during a sale are getting a fair price What is a diamond trade-up program? So let’s talk about diamond trade-up programs, how they work, and if they make sense to you as a customer. On the surface, a trade-up program looks really attractive – get credit for the full price you paid for your diamond and apply it to the purchase of a new bigger, better diamond. How can you go wrong? Like anything… the devil is in the detail. There are always conditions and restrictions that apply to these programs. Let’s take a look at what’s common across almost every trade-up program: You can only participate in a trade-up program at the retailer that sold you the original diamond. You have to spend at least twice the amount of the original purchase price on your new diamond. Sale items, discounted items, and coupons are typically excluded. You can only trade a natural diamond for a natural diamond and a lab diamond for a lab diamond. Might still look like a good deal, right? Here’s what you need to know. In stores that rely on discounting, special financing, and frequent sales to entice customers to buy, their core pricing strategy is to mark up so they can mark down. The purpose of this strategy is to give customers the illusion that they are getting a deal. Trade-up programs typically exclude sale items, so given the fact that their pricing strategy is to use high mark-ups for their retail prices, you could be grossly overpaying for your new diamond. If a customer overpaid for the original diamond, the problem compounds itself because the customer will be required to buy a new diamond priced at least twice as high as the original. Let’s say you overpaid by just $250 on the original diamond. That means there is an extra $500 already built to the price of the new diamond that shouldn’t be there. Determining the market price of a diamond is complex because there are so many variables to diamond value - size, color, clarity, cut, polish, depth, proportions, size of the table, etc. Be aware that some retailers are selling inferior quality diamonds using less reputable diamond certificates to establish artificial value. All diamond certificates are NOT created equal. GIA certificates are the gold standard. There are several diamond grading labs out there that provide certificates that exaggerate the quality of a diamond. This allows some retailers to use certificates that exaggerate diamond quality and price to convince you that a diamond is worth more than it is. What is an example of how a diamond trade-up program is used? Here’s a great example of something that happened at our store this week (and what prompted me to write this blog). A really great customer called to tell us that she was going to one of the large jewelry retailers (begins with a “J” and ends with “ared”) because they would let her trade in her 1-carat lab-grown diamond for a new 1.5-carat lab-grown diamond and she would only need to pay $1,500 for the upgrade. She was certain she was getting a great deal and wanted to know why we didn’t do this. Let’s break this down a bit… If she is paying $1,500 to upgrade her diamond: The price of the new 1.5-carat lab-grown diamond is at least $3,000 since trade-ups require that the cost of the new diamond is at least double the cost of the original diamond. The customer is giving the retailer the $1,500 diamond she originally purchased. We asked our customer to provide more detail on the quality of the new diamond so we could tell her if she is getting a good deal or not. If she were getting a good deal, we would absolutely tell her that. We called a couple of our suppliers and then called her back to let her know that our regular price for an equivalent quality 1.5-carat lab-grown diamond would be about $1,500 – half the price of the other retailer’s diamond. This was not such a good deal for our customer. Why K. Hollis Jewelers doesn't have a diamond trade-up program So, the bottom line for our customer: Our everyday price was half of the other retailer’s retail price for the new diamond. She was able to keep her original diamond. She was thrilled and is using the original diamond to create a new diamond pendant. We’re not saying that a trade-up program is necessarily a bad thing. A trade-up program can be a good value for a customer as long as they paid a fair price for the original diamond, they are paying a fair price on the new diamond, and they can afford to buy something that is twice as expensive as the original. The most important thing is always to work with a jeweler that you can trust, and that will stand behind everything they sell. At K. Hollis Jewelers, we price our products and services fairly every day, so you don’t have to worry about overpaying or feel like you need to wait for a sale to get a fair price. The products we have on clearance are discounted from our everyday fair prices, so they really are a great deal. No illusion. No games. No gimmicks. When our customers want to upgrade a diamond, we’ll price everything fairly, give them a reasonable offer to buy their diamonds and gold, won’t require them to spend at least twice the price of the original diamond, and we don’t require that they purchased the original jewelry from us. We just feel this is a more honest and transparent way to treat our customers.

At K. Hollis Jewelers, we believe every purchase has power—especially when it’s made close to home. Supporting small businesses is more than a feel-good choice; it’s essential during times of economic uncertainty.  Small businesses are responsible for over 80% of our economy and play a vital role in sustaining the heartbeat of local communities. Small business owners and employees are your friends and neighbors—people who sponsor local events, support community causes, and create the welcoming places that make our towns feel like home. Unlike large corporations, small businesses don’t have deep financial reserves, so your support truly helps them thrive. Choosing to shop small over big-box retailers makes a bigger difference than you might think.   1. Job Creation & Opportunities Small businesses are actually the biggest job creators  in most communities. They hire locals, often providing more flexible or diverse job opportunities (great for students, parents, or people changing careers). 2. Keeps Neighborhoods Vibrant Local shops, cafes, and markets make neighborhoods feel alive —they turn streets into places people want to walk, gather, and hang out. This leads to safer, more engaged communities . People look out for each other more when they feel a connection to where they live. 3. Supports Public Services Local businesses pay local taxes , which help fund schools, parks, libraries, emergency services, and road maintenance. More money circulating in the area = better-funded services everyone relies on. 4. Builds Real Relationships Small business owners are your neighbors . You get to know them, and they get to know you. That human connection builds trust, strengthens social ties, and makes the whole community feel more tight-knit and supportive . 5. Uplifts Other Local Creatives & Entrepreneurs Local businesses often collaborate  with one another—think local cafes featuring baked goods from nearby bakeries, or bookstores hosting local authors. This creates a kind of economic ecosystem  where everyone grows together. 6. Promotes Resilience Diverse local economies are more resilient  in tough times (like recessions or supply chain disruptions) because they’re not as dependent on big, centralized corporations. A strong local business base can help a community bounce back faster.   Every time you shop small, you’re investing in more than just a product—you’re investing in people, in stories, and in the heart of your community. It may feel like a small act, but over time, it creates a ripple effect that makes our neighborhoods stronger, closer, and more vibrant.
