(NYSE: $BGI), (NYSE MKT: $DGSE), (NYSE: $SIG), (OTCQB: $RGNP)
Point Roberts, WA,–November 14, 2016 –
Investorideas.com, a global news source and investor resource issues a snapshot
for the jewelry sector following the US election and headlines that state, ‘Trump
Victory Improves Outlook for Diamonds and Jewelry’, according to the Rapaport
Group. Other key trends influencing the sector include online sales and
marketing and the implementation of technology in sales.
Publicly traded companies in the sector that may
benefit include Birks Group Inc. (NYSE:BGI), DGSE Companies, Inc. (NYSE MKT:
DGSE), Reign Sapphire (OTCQB: RGNP) and Signet Jewelers Limited (NYSE: SIG). (See full list below).
In October the company announced the launch of
@reignsapphires social media and digital marketing campaigns, in preparation
for the 2016 holiday shopping season.
Just last week Reign Sapphire (OTCQB: RGNP) also announced expansion and growth through signing a binding letter of intent to acquire 100% of
the assets of custom jewelry company, Coordinates Collection Inc. This new
venture also allows them to participate in the technology trends withn the
sector.
"Driven by technology, Coordinates Collection
has established Widgets, a 3D Web Simulator and a first of its kind retail
display and guided sales technology kiosk which create a scalable, highly
personalized experience, further complementing Reign's Concierge, VIP Service
and online shopping approach, while setting the stage for future wholesale and
retail expansion”, said Joseph Segelman, Reign Sapphire Corporation, CEO..
According to the Rapaport Group, an international
network of companies providing services that support the development of fair,
transparent, competitive and efficient diamond and jewelry markets, “Trump’s election victory coupled with
Republican control of Congress is expected to set the stage for improved
economic conditions that will support increased demand for diamonds and
jewelry. Lower taxes, higher domestic employment and the end of Obamacare will
increase disposable income and encourage investment in local businesses. This
will fuel new domestic economic growth.”
“The diamond and jewelry trade will benefit as the
new policies create a more prosperous middle class and greater numbers of
wealthy consumers. Global uncertainty will also increase demand for investment
diamonds as a store of wealth,” said Martin Rapaport Chairman of the Rapaport
Group.
The market also sees strength from global data coming
from Global Market Research Company, Euromonitor International. According to
their new research, “jewellery is the
best performing personal accessories category with sales worth US$ 316 billion
in 2016. It is also the fastest growing segment within the personal
accessories industry with 3 percent growth between 2015 and 2016. Jewellery,
that includes both costume and fine jewellery, experienced 15 percent
year-on-year growth of internet retail sales, reaching US$ 19 billion in 2016,
up from US$ 9 billion in 2011. Interestingly, the 16 percent growth of internet
retailing for fine jewellery is higher than the growth of internet retailing for
costume jewellery at 12 percent, as more fine jewellery players go online. “
“Technology is the answer for future growth of
jewellery and personal accessories,” says Personal Accessories Industry Analyst
Jasmine Seng. While global sales of personal accessories are growing at two
percent in 2016, the percentage of internet retailing sales of personal
accessories is experiencing double-digit growth in 2016.
