Okay, I wish the jewelry industry would make up its mind! I reported a few blog posts ago " Holiday Jewelry Sales in Question." Now I read on National Jeweler that according to a recent survey from the Jewelry Consumer Opinion Council, " Of the 2,864 people surveyed, about 21 percent plan to buy fine jewelry or watches for the holidays, with 80 percent of those describing themselves as "very likely" to purchase those items, survey results released Tuesday said. Among those choosing jewelry or watches, nearly 35 percent said they would spend more money this year with 63 percent planning to spend between $200 and $2,500 on jewelry or watches."

Now I'm totally confused. What's it going to be? Lots of sales or are we all going to stay away from jewelry counters this season?
