10. TREND MIXED VIBE The Mixed Vibe trend is the one we have the most fun with. It appears on the runways with big bold statement pieces.

11. This trend is a mash of textures, colors, platings and materials—There are no rules!

12. TREND CUSTOMIZE Customers are looking to express their own favorite motif and style, like crosses, wings, names and patterns.

16. TREND BOLD EARRINGS A very popular trend that is moving forward from last season is “Outfit Maker” earrings. We sized down the large bold statement earring to give you looks that will appeal to many customers.

17. Outfit Maker Earrings These earrings look great paired with a “Look of Real” necklace or with a wrist full of bracelets. Plus, they are all light-weight so you can wear them all day.

18. TREND GLAM NECKLACES We designed a line of fun and causal statement necklaces to wear with a pair of jeans or slacks and a great top.

21. Jewel Tones We translated this look into simple strands that will compliment winter clothing styles and elongate your look.

22. Look of Real by Cookie Lee This 12-piece collection is spectacular, affordable and durable. All of the stones are high-quality, genuine cubic zirconia with genuine rhodium plating.

23. Look of Real by Cookie Lee To set these items apart on your trays, the earrings and rings are packaged on a new card and a blue suede logo bag is included for the necklaces.

24. TREND LADY-LIKE CHIC The style of Jackie Kennedy has evolved into a modern sophisticated lady. Lady-Like Chic is a refined, easy fresh look with casual pieces.

27. Mochi’s Bone Necklace & Collar Charm In October, the Lin family welcomed a new family member— Mochi. Mochi inspired Cookie to create Mochi’s Dog Bone Necklace and Mochi’s Dog Bone Collar Charm. Cooke Lee donates a portion of the sales from these items to a national animal organization.

28. Crystal Geodes Cookie has collected crystal geodes for years; she loves their texture and sparkle.

29. Crystallized Druzy PendantPage 7D$26.00 Druzys are the tiny, bright crystal formations on the inside of geodes, and Cookie loved this concept so much, that she wanted to bring it into the line. She designed a long, faux Crystallized Druzy Pendant.

30. Shagreen/Stingray Leather Shagreen/stingray leather is very smooth and soft and has metallic shiny texture to it.

31. Metallic GlitzPage 11$20.00 -$38.00 Cookie wanted to have an item that was on-trend and very luxurious-looking, so she designed the Metallic Glitz Collection. These items are contoured rectangles so they capture light and create the smooth look of stingray leather at an affordable price.

32. Victorian Doorknobs

33. Victorian Doorknob Medallion Page 20A $20.00 This pendant was inspired by a collection of Old Victorian brass doorknobs that she found when she was walking through a flea market in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of NYC.
