Does anyone know where/how to find trade journals for jewelry? Mostly costume or fashion jewelry?

My sister and I make handmade jewelry . We are rather new to this business and need to find out the fashion trends without traveling if possible. We use gemstones and lampwork and crystal beads and have good sources for suppliers,just don't how to get the trade news I know is out there! Thank you for your answers ahead of time. faerylady54

2. well you could go to your local newspaper and ask them if you could place an ad in the paper for your business or post up flyers around town.
3. If you want to find the trends in the business, just go around and ask people what they want! You could become a custom handmade jewelry company! Also, you could contact the local newspaper editor and ask for a small advertisement talking about your new business.
4. I am not sure about trade journals, but here are some links to "fashion forecasts" on the web. I hope they help. http://www.beadstylemag.com/bds/default.aspx?c=ss&id=46 http://www.firemountaingems.com/trends/default.asp?WT.svl=FT Good Luck!
