Jewelry and accessory market

The global jewelry market is segmented into various products. Earrings, necklaces, rings, chains, bracelets, cufflinks, and studs are types of jewelry. Jewelry retail sales in the United States have rapidly increased since 2009. There are several possible reasons attributed to the growth of the U.S. jewelry market. Included among them is the increased presence of fashion on social media; price increases of silver, gold, other metals, and precious gems; and the post-crisis growth in consumer spending.

How have jewelry retailers accommodated the online market?

Tiffany & Co. is one of the leading brand names in the fine jewelry market and as a result, is one of the world's premier jewelry designers and retailers. Luxury brands such as Tiffany & Co. and Helzberg’s Diamond Shops, owned by Berkshire Hathaway, have increased their revenue through online retailing, after making efforts to bridge the gap between their boutiques and online store experience.
