Brand awareness

Pandora and Tiffany & Co. are not that far apart

At least judging by their brand recognition among U.S. consumers. While their average price tag differs a lot, both jewelry brands have the same brand awareness. They place near the top behind Chanel. The other end of the ranking shows brands like Graff, Chopard, and Monica Vinader, which are currently known by a smaller share of consumers.

Brand popularity

Tiffany & Co. sparkles the brightest

With 53 percent of respondents liking it, Tiffany & Co. is the most popular jewelry brand in the United States, followed by Pandora. Cartier and Swarovski also enjoy significant affection among consumers who know the respective brand, indicating a preference for brands with a long-standing reputation. More niche brands like Graff, Monica Vinader, and Mejuri, while appreciated, need to improve their brand recognition among consumers. Our survey data indicates a relatively balanced distribution of preference, suggesting a highly competitive market.

Brand ownership

Pandora and Claire's are Americans' best friend

Pandora is the jewelry brand with the highest ownership share among consumers who know the respective brand, closely followed by Claire's. As an affordable brand with thousands of stores across the United States this might not be surprising. In general, jewelry brands with a wider range of price tags find their way to more consumers. Exclusive luxury or premium brands with average prices in the four-digit area are reaching a far smaller share of consumers. Leading to brands like Harry Winston, Helzberg Diamonds, or Bulgari finding themselves in the lower half of the ownership ranking.
