Home Page Design and Logo Design for Jewelry Site

Metal Trend - http://www.metaltrend.com - needs a new design for their home page along with a new logo. We are going for a clean, modern, and professional look that would fit the elegance of this beautiful jewelry.

Metal Trend

Desired Color Scheme:
see description

Desired Style:
see description - modern, elegant, classy

Accepted File Formats:
PSD, JPG

The current website can be found at http://www.metaltrend.com

Design should be for 1024x768 resolution, so 980px wide.

We like the look of http://www.maxaria.com/rings_CA1.html for example, or even the famous - http://www.tiffany.com/shopping/cat…1&isMenu=1

This site also has a nice clean look - http://www.luxurien.com/

This site will not use flash, so keep that in mind for the design. The website is obviously ecommerce, and we want the home page to feature pieces from each category.

The categories and navigation can be found on the current site, and do not change. Some items such as Policies dont have to be in the main nav, and can be in the footer.

Colors: Jewelry sites seem to have a great look on a black background, however, we're open to your creative ideas in this project. Could use blues, grays, etc, just nothing too colorful / fruity. Colors have to show elegance.

Logo: We are open here, no specific direction. The name is Metal Trend. You can use any photos on the website, or stock photography. No slogan.

Special boxes: We do want some kind of promo box, where we can put either a message about the company, or feature a sale item. It does not have to be as big and primary as the box on the current site.

That's about it, just look at the current site for content etc.

Thanks!
