By Joseph Dobrian National Jeweler febrero13, 2009 As the watch business heads into 2009, the high end of the timepiece trade seems to be holding up handily, at least for now. Trend-wise, automatic watches continue to tick along, slowly regaining market share. Rose gold remains strong, but less expensive stainless steel--made more elegant in some cases with the addition of diamonds--is gaining popularity. As for size, watches continue to get bigger, with 48-millimeter or 49-millimeter pieces no longer uncommon, even as some say that trend has peaked. >>>

By Michelle Graff National Jeweler febrero 12. 2009 New York--One doesn't have to look too hard to find evidence that global financial woes have also impacted online jewelry sales. Just take a look at Blue Nile's third-quarter 2008 financial results. Once noted for its seemingly unstoppable growth, the online diamond giant reported a 2.9 percent drop in overall sales and opted not to provide any financial guidance for fiscal year 2009 because of the "deterioration in the economic climate" and "uncertainty" in consumer spending patterns.>>>

It's not only fallen off the NRC's radar, but it seems to have fallen off the radar of most of America's jewelry retailers.
