Jeweller’s bumper September issue investigates the spending behaviours of Millennials and Baby Boomers and how jewellery retailers can best target each group to boost sales opportunities.
If you thought diamond mines were easy enough to find then think again. This month, an industry veteran recounts his involvement in helping to discover Australia’s three diamond mines and the impediments for diamond exploration today.
September Jeweller, which has now been mailed, also looks at whether diamond and gemstone supply-chain transparency is a concern for modern-day consumers and offers a sneak peek at the hottest new products and announcements set to be unveiled at this year’s Sydney International Jewellery Fair.
There’s a whole lot more in Australia and New Zealand’s #1 jewellery industry magazine, including plenty of useful advice that could help to improve sales and profitability. See below for more details.
