On-line Diamond Engagement Rings and Jewelry sales Up 20% in 2006!
Our colleague Ken Gassman of Idex Online (www.idexonline.com) reports astounding stats for the On-line Diamond and jewelry industry for 2006.
On-line sales reached 2.45 Billion, an increase of 20% over 2005 and represent approximately 3.9% of total jewelry industry sales of 63 Billion in 2006.
Ken goes on to say that while it took seven years – from 1996 to 2002 – for online jewelry sales to reach the $1 billion mark, it took only three years – 2002 to 2005 – to reach $2 billion in total sales. He forcasts continued robust growth of on-line diamond and jewelry sales and projects that sales will hit 3 Billion by 2008!
He projects three different scenarios for future growth with moderating growth the most likely scenario.
The graph below shows Ken's forcast for "moderating growth" over the next several years.
Very nice presentation, Ken.
We will follow this and keep you posted.

I dont actually know what youre talking about here. This cant be the only approach to feel about this can it? It appears like you know a lot about the subject, so why not explore it far more? Make it far more accessible to every person else who may not agree with you? Youd get a great deal far more people behind this if you just stopped producing general statements.

If I may --perhaps you should consider adding several images. I dont mean to disrespect what youve said; its very enlightening, indeed. However, I feel would respond to it much more positively if they could be some thing tangible to your suggestions. Keep it up, but put just a little more into it next time.
