Four secrets of success for the bride

1. Build self

If the recession has taught one thing jewelers, this is what they need to wean off the habit of over-stocking inventory that does not move. Enter the next generation of building programs wedding rings, leaving the jewelers and customers get exactly what they want, the less risk.

"Some people might not believe … but I think it's a good supplement to your existing business, "says Pat Javaheri, Chairman of the jewelry manufacturer based in Los Angeles Amden.

Five years ago, the 35-year company, entered the business of craft orders that come from building programs customized rings. Since then, the number of existing programs has increased by about 20 percent, Javaheri said.

As with any technology, functionality and appearance of existing programs for the jewelry industry have improved at a dizzying pace.

Mr. Geller, who has launched a version of its builder wedding in 2004, is now the third version, "said Louis Price, Chief Operating Officer. Improvements to the program include changes to the layout and color search capabilities, and simplified, all in order to make the program more user friendly as possible.

"We all look at the ball field competitive, "Price says, explaining why it was time for wedding Builder, Part III. "We all expect changes technology in the competitive market. "

2. Fake It 'Til you make

It is a stand-off: Retailers are reluctant to plunk down cash to fill their windows with diamond engagement rings that are not only sellers, and sellers hard to get the credit that allows them to provide showrooms all notes.

A solution comes from the increasing number of suppliers offering "brass and glass" inventory
programs that allow retailers to buy an engagement ring replicas metal alloy Cubic zirconia and a fraction of the cost of rings diamonds and precious metals. If your first reaction is "not in my store," you're not alone.

"We have many customers when we introduced it, said:" This is not for me, I only sell the real thing, Gabriel & Co. Gabriel Dominick said his company's program for the married sample, launched in January 2008. Yet even jewelers reviewed after seeing how the systems have worked for other retailers, he said.

Gabriel & Co. offers eight different sets its best-selling media, and also gives the possibility of jewelers handpick their own blends.

Bridal consumers do not complain about the look of replicas – They do not seem to mind the wait time that comes with the order or, as the majority of the wedding is personalized ordered anyway, "said Gabriel.

A word of advice Gabriel offers retailers who carry samples: report of 10-20 games for real popular styles of engagement ring.

"You know your market better and you need some live because you will always the guy who wants to get engaged that day, "he said.

Overnight Mountings Vice President Matthew Roth also sees the acceptance of jewelers brass and glass type programs more.

"This has been an obstacle to overcome more easily because talk of jewelers," says Roth. "Jewelers talk with jewelers. Jewelers hear each other that the program is working. "

3. Something new for the metal-heads

While there are certainly different views in the industry about which precious metal is the most attractive contemporary, robust and elegant, the variety of options available in metal is a positive for consumers with an eye on their wallets.

For engaged the visit by Nina Mohr Nina jewels in Manchester Center, Vermont, "18-carat white gold and platinum are always top sellers," she said. But this does not mean these are the only metals Nina Jewelry sells. The retailer, as a number of retail partners Scott Kay, recently introduced new brand SK Cobalt line of wedding bands for men is made BioBlu 27, a white alloy of cobalt.

Buzz on another metal, palladium, collapsed since Palladium Alliance International (PAI) has launched a campaign of Commerce two years ago, but remains a consideration for the palladium price-sensitive consumers to a metal natural white. At press time, palladium was trading at less than half the price of gold and one third the price of platinum.

Designer Scott Kay, as a number of manufacturers and retailers, deplores the lack of an active marketing arm of the industry for palladium (PAI has been "dormant" in the U.S. for the past year, a spokesman said National Jeweler in November), but said that the Palladium is still a large part of the business of marriage Scott Kay, and the company continues to raise its retail partners on the metal fine attributes.

The mark is the same for SK Cobalt.

"When non-conventional metals come to the U.S. market, we really want consumers understand what they are, "Kay said.

This means that for retailers to provide training and equipment point of sale, marketing and SK Cobalt directly to consumers through publications such as Brides and Bridal Guide.

If So far, Kay said, the response was "Extraordinary" demand for both price points and attractive contemporary metal jewelry remains strong.

"The intrinsic value does not lead the consumer as to how it feels on their hands, "he said.

In detail, the bands of palladium Scott Kay average about $ 600 to $ 700, while SK Cobalt bands average about $ 250 to $ 300.

4. Enter the celebrity endorsement

colored diamonds have red carpet was used in recent years, but more recently, diamonds with reflections are headed toward happily-ever-after thanks to Veterans territory widescreen and charts as songbirds.

Jennifer Lopez started the trend of famous back in 2002 when the actor Ben Affleck presented
her with a pink diamond, "said Robert May, executive director of the Natural Color Diamond Association (NCDI). Commitment may have gone belly up, but the appeal of colored diamonds has been set in stone and photos.

This year, she saw again, with a handful of celebrities Brides-to-be-flashing rings colored diamonds.

Leading candidate in recent months is the country crooner Carrie Underwood, who was blinking Johnathon Arndt designed diamond ring yellow. Then there is Heroes star Kristen Bell, who was showing her 3-carat ring fancy natural brown diamond color designed by Neil Lane. Finally, there is supermodel Naomi Campbell, would wearing a Van Cleef & Arpels diamond ring black.
