As Mahatma Gandhi stated, 'the customer is the most important person on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. It is humorous to me how much we disregard or maybe just not understand the consumer in the diamond and jewelry industry. We introduced a choice to the consumer and they embraced it beyond the expectations of the industry. Instead of focusing on how to create further value through evolving the product and conversation with the consumer, the trade is now cribbing again as the easy sale is over. They are even thinking that consumer will shift again 😂!! Innovate or Perish! The industry is going through the next phase of disruption with opportunities. #sustainability #labgrowndiamonds #diamonds #innovation

I recently attended an exhibition and came across 3 jewellery stores in a row. One sold heavy neck pieces, another specialised in sterling silver, and the third offered minimalistic bracelets and rings. 💍 I was most attracted to the store with minimalistic jewellery. The store was cute, the seller was a warm, friendly lady, and I adored her collection. I initially thought she would make the most sales compared to the other two stores. However, by the end of the day, all three stalls were bustling with people, each having their share of customers. People were buying jewellery based on their style and fashion statement—what felt most relatable and appealing to them. 🙌🏼 ✔️You don’t need to compete with another brand to do better. ✔️You don’t need to copy a trend just because it’s popular. ✔️You don’t need to conform to something that doesn't align with your authentic self. Speak your brand’s voice and let your people choose you. 💜 #brandstorytelling #branding #authenticity #womensupportingwomen

Synthetic diamonds are shifting out of the bridal market and taking the fashion jewelry market by storm.    Everything about synthetics is changing rapidly right now – pricing, production, competition, branding.     No one should assume that what happened in 2023 is just going to continue in 2024.    This must-read report covers the current state of the synthetic diamond industry.   https://lnkd.in/dwyjfU6x 

Martin Rapaport I have read and reread Avi Krawitz’s article about the current state of the LGD market to make sure that I did not come to any incorrect conclusions. It is certainly a positive development that you are covering the LGD market under your banner so while you have declared LGD as fraudulent it seems that you are grudgingly accepting the reality that LGD is here to stay and may very well flourish. One suggestion that I have is that if Rapaport will finally embrace LGD and report on market developments perhaps it should make an effort to invest in some primary data sources. The article by Avi quotes a lot from various LGD experts including Amish Shah, Smith of Lightbox and disappointingly it quotes from Marty Hurwitz. Marty with all due respect was a Director of WD Diamonds which went bankrupt. While I think it is convenient to blame the demise of WD on market conditions WD Diamonds was mismanaged. There are a lot of subjective comments in the article which I do not think are substantiated by facts. If you intend to cover LGD professionally perhaps you and Avi should do more fact checking. For example, HPHT does not produce inferior quality stones. In fact if you take a look at most DIF polished they are HPHT.

Market intelliX Business News & Analysis

Among the many insights picked out of Signet Jewelers annual report, its comment about lab-grown diamonds, hidden in its risk disclosures, stood out. “Lab-created diamonds are a meaningful portion of sales and inventory for Signet and the jewelry industry, and declining costs and retail prices could impact operating results and disappoint consumers. As retail prices of lab-created diamonds decline, consumers who purchased lab-created diamonds at higher prices may become disappointed in the relative value of their purchase which could negatively impact the reputation of Signet and the jewelry industry.” That, along with other commentary the company gave, marks a change in its attitude toward synthetics. Signet cannot afford for lab grown to take greater market share of the bridal market where the company's dominance is absolute. It is now emphasizing lab-grown for fashion jewelry and stressing the unique value that natural diamonds offer for engagement rings / bridal. The strategy mirrors the general trend across the industry. After synthetics enjoyed a boom in bridal, jewelers are realizing they cannot sustain their businesses with a continuation of that trend. But is it a case of too little too late? and a recognition of a short-sighted strategy that led to this position? See my full analysis below 👇

This is a very interesting analysis and call to action by Avi Krawitz. I quote : The company – and independent jewelers – cannot afford for that number to grow. Rather than find a way to offer lab-grown diamonds to consumers in a profitable and sustainable manner, Avi seems to be suggesting that Signet and independent jewelers should somehow cap the growth in LGD demand and double down on natural diamonds. It may well be that I am reading Avi’s analysis with tinted glasses but somehow it seems to be counter-intuitive. Should Signet and other retailers find a way to offer consumers what they want to buy by taking a look at how the retail industry can revamp their cost structure, invest in R & D and innovation to create high value adding designs to offset the declining cost of “paint”. Admittedly the low hanging fruits have been plucked and there is more work to be done. I am just not sure doubling down on naturals is the only solution. Sell more gemstones and cut the bloated overhead with so many banners. Based on the hefty markup on loose LGDs sold by James Allen and Blue Nile highlighted by Garry Holloway recently I would suggest that Signet needs to take a hard look at it retail model. Why does it need James Allen and Blue Nile when they are nothing more than the e-commerce arm of the brick and mortar banners ? Again, I might very well be less than objective but I hope I am not alone in having a queasy feeling in my gut about the path forward suggested by Avi.
