Reading Time: 4 minutes Key takeaways • Origin and traceability are long-term investments that build trust and product value rather than immediate counter sales tools. • Drawing a parallel to coffee branding, humanizing origin can successfully transform public perception and add romance and perceived value to natural diamonds. • Making provenance standard and highlighting supply chain communities is essential infrastructure for reshaping long-standing consumer perceptions about diamond mining. I’m a retailer who has been selling traceable diamonds and Origin by De Beers Group diamonds for close to two years. I’ve used both extensively in our marketing, but more importantly, I’ve done in-field research and stood at the counter in our store, selling them to customers. Here’s what we learned: Origin and traceability are not necessarily conversion tools at the counter. The perfect shape, the perfect diamond, and the right price still drive the decision. If two diamon...

Reading Time: 8 minutes Key Takeaways: • December accounts for over 80% of annual profits for many jewelry stores, making early preparation essential for yearly success. • Jewelers should focus on four key areas before December: reviewing inventory, optimizing staff scheduling, organizing marketing campaigns, and preparing store displays. • Edge Retail Academy provides tools, insights, and a 2026 Holiday Tips series to help jewelers prepare effectively prior to the holiday rush. You might still be thinking about summer holidays and getting through the next few months, but if you own a jewelry store, there’s one month you should already have firmly in your sights: December. For many jewelers, December isn’t just another month…it can make or break the entire year. In most stores, more than 80% of annual profit comes during the Christmas trading period. That makes December far too important to leave to chance. The good news is that December success rarely c...

Reading Time: 7 minutes Key Takeaways: • Average ticket prices at small jewelry stores increased by 25% due to a strong surge in demand for custom and made-to-order pieces. • Rising gold prices and a shift toward personal expression are driving customers to seek custom designs and heirloom redesigns. • Independent jewelers can maximize profit margins by leveraging modern POS software to automate material cost pricing and promoting custom work on social media.
