Affected by high metal prices and weak consumer demand, the Italian jewelry industry is heading for a sluggish Christmas sales period. The industry needs a more targeted market to regain its leading position. ?

At the Vicenza Jewelry Fair, participants said that they saw a sharp drop in customer demand this year because the global economic recovery was better than expected. This fair will attract thousands of jewelry buyers from all over the world to buy the latest designs.

About 70% of all gold jewelry processed in Italy is sold abroad. Italian jewelry industry is in a dominant position in the world, but recently it has been under pressure from India, China and Turkey, because these countries have low labor costs and improved quality and design technology.

If a gem is not beautiful, it can't be a gem. This kind of beauty is either colorful, transparent and clean, or has special optical effects (such as cat's eye, color change, night light, etc.). ), or have special patterns (such as chrysanthemum stone, agate, plum blossom jade, etc. ).

For example, diamonds with few defects can be polished into precious diamonds, while those with poor transparency, many defects and black color can only be used as industrial raw materials.

Rare things are precious. Emerald, which is extremely rare in the world, is worth tens of thousands of dollars per carat (0.2 g) because of its superior quality, while some beautiful and "enduring" gems (such as amethyst) have always been low in price because of their large output and easy mining. Some ordinary rocks, after pondering, also have the characteristics of beauty and durability, but they cannot become a member of the gem family. The reason is that things that are easy to get will be cheap.
