Graham Jones says the psychology of choice is an important factor and when humans are faced with multiple choices they actually delay making a selection. It’s for reasons like this that he believes shopping has become like dating.
Jones’s observations appear in the June issue of Jeweller, which is now being mailed to subscribers.
Another story in this month’s issue points to a renewed appreciation for custom-made jewellery – a trend that has been fuelled by the industry increasingly being divided into stores that are simply resellers of someone else’s products and those that can still provide handcrafted pieces. Our 2015 Casting Report analyses the pivotal role suppliers play in the process.
