EXCLUSIVE
SALES REPORT: Staying positive
By Catherine Dayrit and
Michelle Graff National Jeweler Dec. 13,
2010
 Holiday sales continue to pace ahead of last year
for retail jewelers, with consumers more upbeat and willing to part
with their money. Is the downturn completely done? Will this
momentum carry into the new year? That's hard to say at this point.
But what retailers do know is this: they're merrily ringing up a
lot more jewelry sales than they were at this point last year. >>> |

growing global demand for high-end jewelry.

merchandise is not displayed in the best possible
