Gold Jewelry Continues to Shine as Purse Strings Tighten

NEW YORK, Dec. 16 / — Gold jewelry is one of the top three most popular items for women’s discretionary spending in the U.S. according to World Gold Council’s (WGC) 2008 survey, What Women Want: Global Discretionary Spending Report, conducted by independent research firm, GfK, among 1,068 American women aged 16 to 65. The study was also run in the key gold jewelry markets of India, China, Saudi Arabia, Italy and Turkey. The global survey, which was last conducted in 2005, examined the attitudes of nearly 7,500 females, aged between 15 and 65, toward luxury items and consumables, exploring their views on product attributes, price and competition for discretionary spend.

The findings of the survey, conducted in the spring, reveal that gold jewelry in the U.S. has continued to maintain its appeal despite a squeeze on women’s spending power, a volatile and rising gold price and increased competition from other consumer goods. In the U.S., gold jewelry maintained its position as the third most popular item chosen by a woman spending her discretionary income on herself. It currently ranks below spending on ‘short breaks’ and ‘increasing savings’ but above such spending choices as a ‘meal at a nice restaurant’ or ‘beauty/spa treatment.’ Read more
