Jewelry Shops
by tammy on September 28, 2006
I have to do a presentation, but I also have to drive a good distance before doing it, so I was looking for something that was both comfortable and professional.
It was nice to learn that due to finally getting a few pounds off I'm almost a size smaller than I thought, but that's the thing, "almost." I'm in between sizes, so finding the right size was pretty much impossible.
Luckily, I rarely have size issues when it comes to jewelry, but it can still be a concern when you are shopping for jewelry and according to a study by the Jewelry Consumer Opinion Council, the correct fit and size is a make it or break it issue for jewelry shoppers:
Retail consumers, when shopping for jewelry, must deal with many of the same issues confronted when shopping for clothing: trends, design, function, and size. If a consumer finds a piece of fine jewelry that fills all of the requisites for purchase, except that it does not fit in size, then most likely they will not purchase the item. JCOC respondents, however, were largely amenable to alternatives to sizing.
The JCOC respondents were clearly in favor of adjustable or convertible alternatives for bracelets or necklaces, but were not enamored of adjustable rings. Maybe the latent memories of cheap plastic expandable rings from 25ยข gum ball machines are to blame.
Diversity, not only in design, but in size and sizing alternatives will attract a larger audience of retail consumers and is an issue prevalent to jewelry designers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers-all facets of the jewelry industry which point to the end-use retail consumer.

Hi Tammy! My name is Deirdre and I am a jewelry designer. I am currently enrolled in business school and am taking a small business management class this semester. Our main project in this class is to develop a business plan. The first part of this project is coming up with the company overview. I was searching for information on the jewelry industry's backround, and some current and future trends in the jewelry industry, when I found some information about you. I was very intruiged and impressed with your story! I was wondering if you could give me a little information regarding my project? Thanks! I think I'm a new fan!

I guess with the money that you would pay for a decent ring, you should be able to find one that's just your size.

Allen Iverson broke out his newest signature shoe, the Reebok Answer XII, during the first game between the Buy Reebok Answer XII Invictus Shoes in November 2008.
The Reebok Answer XII Invictus On Sale basketball shoe features a leather upper with internal mock bootie construction that provides maximum comfort.
The Nike zoom BB IIreceived its design cues from Japanese-born Reebok designer Nike Zoom BB II Basketball Shoes, who also designed the Answer X. Both Winfield and Kanata have been trading off between the past three Buy Cheap Nike Zoom BB II Men's Basketball shoes to allow for a longer design window and more attention to the development process.

The mid panel is also generously perforated for greater breathability and the Nike Shox Vc IV Men's Basketball Shoe Black suede toe sets off a nice balance to the simple yet sharp overall look.?
