The Diamond Industry
According to Jupiter Research, U.S. online sales of fine jewelry grew 19.3% to $1.7 billion in 2004. Further, Forrester Research Inc. (www.forrester.com), an independent research firm, states online jewelry sales are gaining significant momentum, and estimate 14% of all jewelry sales worldwide will occur online by 2010.
Online jewelry sales are estimated to reach $5.7 billion in 2007 out of the current $33 billion market.
Production of diamond jewelry begins with diamond mining and involves many intermediaries, including rough diamond dealers, diamond cutters, diamond wholesalers and diamond retailers before the jewelry is sold to the end consumer.
Worldwide diamond production is dominated by a small number of diamond mining companies. De Beers S.A., a diamond mining company, has estimated that it supplies approximately two-thirds of the world's diamonds by value. Mining companies usually sell rough diamond stones to a limited number of rough diamond dealers, who in turn either cut the rough diamond stones themselves to produce finished diamonds or sell them to diamond cutters.
Wholesalers and jewelry manufacturers purchase cut diamonds and sell them to consumers through jewelry retailers. The diamond and jewelry retail market in the U.S. consists primarily of small, independent stores and a small group of national retail chains such as Tiffany & Co. and Signet PLC's Kay Jewelers.
