On Line Diamond and Jewelry Sales Lead Holiday Growth

Modern Jeweler reports that this Holiday Season was better for the clicks (e-tailers) than the bricks (jewelry stores). Consumers bought a staggering $1.9 Billion in jewelry on line this year, a 113 percent increase over the 2003 holiday season, according to a survey by Nielsen/NetRatings, Goldman Sachs, and Harris Interactive. According to the survey, on line sales in general were up 25 percent to $23.2 billion.

The holiday selling season was a roller coster ride for most traditional retailers: initial euphoria, then panic, followed by relief, as a strong final week brought most sales totals to a slight gain over last year. Growth estimates ranged from 2 to 4 percent by most forecasters. Good, but not great.

I found about this information a few days ago in another website and the leading tips that you bring up here are to a degree similar

I was introduced about your blog from a coworker. He was right about you. Your website is somewhat engaging.

It's definitely a nice and favorable piece of facts. I'm delightful that you shared this useful content with us. Please keep posting like this. Thank you for sharing.

This is getting a bit more subjective, however this is a great blog.keep up the good work.

I have been surfing on internet more than 5 hours today, yet I never discovered any absorbing page like this one. It's pretty worth much for me. Personally, if all web owners and bloggers made good information as you did, the net will be much more advantageous than ever before.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.

Been reading this website for a few days now. It was very good and solid facts. BTW, I love your website design as well. I enjoyed reading it and hopefully you will write more in a few days. Do you have a facebook page?
