We, at Augmentes, love attending the annual JCK Jewelry Show each year. You can’t help but come away with renewed excitement and enthusiasm for the jewelry industry overall. Especially this year, where there was a more dramatic air of optimism among the show attendees. This optimism is supported by recent research by Gitnux, which points to an increase in the online jewelry market from $21 billion in 2020 to a predicted $39 billion by 2025. This statistic is a testament to the power of e-commerce in the jewelry industry.
As jewelry e-commerce experts, we particularly enjoyed seeing the new focus on online jewelry sales and the advancements in augmented reality that help shoppers better engage with products. More than ever, jewelry brands and retailers are seeing the power of the immersive shopping experience to boost online conversions.
