Talked with another jeweler 35 years in the business when he was picking up his stone repair from me.
Retail jewelers in his town, one of the wealthiest in the country, are in tears as their businesses collapse. No one is buying overpriced stuff when they can buy the same overpriced stuff online.
As I expected, he is doing fine. There is a big shakeout underway, and only the people who specialize in custom work and who make their own stuff will survive.
Young customers only pay for unique.
