The Month In Review: July July 26, 2017 (0 comments)
Merrick, NY—Traditionally a slow period in the industry, July saw big changes at two of the nation’s most prominent jewelry retailers, Signet and Tiffany & Co. Both companies, beset by ongoing woes at the sales counter, named new CEOs. At Signet, a dynasty came to an end with the departure of Mark Light, son of longtime former CEO Nate Light, and the appointment of its first female CEO; Tiffany is pinning its hopes on a former Bulgari executive who also has street cred from Diesel. A prominent jeweler is featured on DIY Network for passion of rehabbing and building vacation homes (with a jewelry theme!); there’s more turmoil in the diamond world with as conflict diamonds may be back in the pipeline; and now that good quality can be had at many price points, luxury retailers try to focus on selling intangibles to win customers.
