Diamond Jewellery Market Growth in East

Recent figures suggest that the market for diamond jewellery in the near future is expected to be driven by increased growth in India, China and the Gulf.

These emerging Eastern markets have demonstrated significant growth in the past few years, with diamonds proving increasingly popular as both a luxury item and a long-term investment.

By 2015, it is predicted that India, China and the Gulf will equal or surpass the market share of the US, which currently stands at 35 to 40 per cent. In 2010, India and China were already up 31 and 25 per cent respectively.

However, with worldwide reserves of diamonds at an all-time low, this new growth in Eastern countries means the balance between supply and demand is set to become more mismatched than ever; forecasts warn that demand is likely to outpace lower levels of diamond supply for many years to come.

With diamonds only getting rarer, it’s likely that the value of diamonds will continue to ascend on a global scale in the same way that gold and silver prices have already, increasing the natural treasure’s worth in the long term.

Although diamond prices have already begun to reflect the imbalance between supply and demand, the view that diamonds are an ‘investment vehicle’ that has the potential to grow – or at least remain the same – means customers are continuing to buy.

When compared to the inflated prices of gold, diamonds also – for the time being – pose a more affordable alternative in an unsteady economy.

It is yet to be seen how the rising value of diamonds will affect the production and/or prices of popular jewellery brands, popular in both the East and West, which feature diamond-encrusted pieces in their collections. For now, however, fans of Pandora jewellery and the like need not worry.

Ernest Jones Announces The Launch Of Tolkowsky Diamond Jewellery

Ernest Jones has announced the launch of the Tolkowsky diamond jewellery collection. In launching this prestigious brand, Ernest Jones is offering consumers the opportunity to buy high quality, prestige jewellery with history and pedigree, on the high street.

To celebrate this launch with Tolkowsky, Ernest Jones will be offering three of the most valuable jewellery items it has ever sold – The Tolkowsky Tumbling Suite. This consists of the White Gold Tolkowsky Tumbling Tiara totalling 8.51ct Diamond, White Gold Tolkowsky Tumbling Necklace totalling 19.15ct Diamond, White Gold Tolkowsky Tumbling Earrings totalling 4.45ct Diamond. These spectacular items of jewellery will only be available for a limited time, and allow consumers to see some of the finest pieces of jewellery available anywhere today.

As one of the world’s leading diamantaires, Tolkowsky has been perfecting the finest diamonds for 200 hundred years and is renowned in the diamond industry for inventing the Ideal Cut diamond. Each Tolkowsky diamond is hand crafted to offer the customer the very finest quality. If a diamond is cut too deeply or too shallow, then light will escape and the diamond loses its brilliance, fire and sparkle. To prevent this, Marcel Tolkowsky, grandfather of the current CEO, set out to define the ideal proportion of a diamond’s cut to maximise brilliance and dispersion of light. The result was the Ideal Cut which is a perfectly symmetrical round brilliant cut diamond designed to offer excellent return of light.

To further guarantee the quality of its jewellery, each Tolkowsky diamond is certified by a leading independent diamond grading laboratory and has a GemEx Light Performance Certificate as proof of the diamond’s superior light performance.

When buying a diamond ring, consumers need to be aware of the 4Cs, and the Tolkowsky collection scores highly on these fundamental diamond purchasing considerations.

Ernest Jones, the Diamond and Watch specialist has joined the social media revolution and launched its own Twitter page.

The Ernest Jones Twitter page can be found under the name Ejonesjewellers at the social media site. The page is designed to give customers a chance to stay up to date on offers, new product launches, news and trends from Ernest Jones and the watch, jewellery and fashion marketplace.

Ernest Jones is joining other leading high street brands such as H.Samuel, Next, Tesco and Starbucks in this innovative arena. With the competitive nature of the market at present this makes total sense and allows the jeweller to engage with customers, maintain its brand presence and reputation and keep its customers informed about offers, promotions, new collections and products and charity affiliations.

The messages (Tweets) are intended to be a mixture of information and fun and will be aimed at consumers, journalists and anyone interested in Ernest Jones. Ernest Jones will also engage with any customers looking for advice or information, either answering the query directly or referring the customer to someone who can help them.

According to Jason Edworthy, Signet Digital Comms Manager, “We want to engage with our customers, promote our offers and build our brand and online presence with witty, fun and informative Tweets aimed directly at our customer base.”

This initiative also offers consumers insight into less obvious ranges, such as the famous Vera Wang wedding collection, that consumers might not realise Ernest Jones sells. Other benefits to the consumer include industry news, fashion tips, exclusive product information and the possibility for customers to engage directly with one of the high street’s leading authorities on diamonds and watches.
