It is a meticulous examination of the many crucial categories within the industry, addressing everything from independent stores, fine and fashion chains, brand-only stores, buying groups, and industry associations.

The purpose of the State of the Industry Report (SOIR) is two-fold – it’s a historical document offering an in-depth look at the state of the industry and a glimpse of the future.

In a nutshell, the 90-page study includes things you wish you had known about the Australian jewellery industry, things you thought you knew but are wrong, things that you did know about the industry but have changed, and things you could never have known about the industry.

It answers the following questions:

• How many jewellery stores are there in Australia?
• Are jewellery stores more profitable or less profitable since COVID?
• How many stores have closed over the past decade?
• What have been the most significant changes in retail in the past decade?
• How many chain stores are there?
• How many jewellers are located in shopping centres?
• What changes can the industry expect in the next decade?
• What do jewellers think about lab-created diamonds?
• Have fashion jewellery chain stores increased since 2010?
• How important are the buying groups?
• Does anyone really care about diamond provenance?

Those questions, and so much more, are answered in-depth in this report. The contribution from readers has also been crucial to the process – with surveys completed by retailers and suppliers revealing fascinating insights.

Jeweller’s six-month investigation into the jewellery industry is the most exhaustive and comprehensive study ever undertaken.

And it’s on its way to subscribers now – just in time for your holiday reading list.
