Boston, MA--November delivered exceptional pre-holiday momentum for independent jewelers, with gross sales climbing 7% and the average ticket increasing 16%, the strongest lift recorded this year.

Consumers demonstrated a clear preference for higher-value luxury purchases, as diamonds and watches together represented 60% of total luxury revenue.

This concentration reinforces the continued dominance of these core categories during peak shopping periods and indicates that holiday spending is being led by considered, higher-ticket transactions rather than volume-driven activity.
