Jewelry Industry

Consumers that plan to Jewelry Shop for the holidays can expect Less Choice and Higher prices. Insight into how the Covid-19 pandemic changed the jewelry industry.

  • If you plan to gift jewelry this holiday season you need to start early
  • Labor shortages and supply chain breakdowns are affecting inventory (finished pieces and materials) all around the world
  • While these issues were happening during the pandemic, the demand never stopped. And while Brick-and-mortar stores may have been closed, internet sales were healthier than ever
  • According to Digital Commerce 360, Consumers spent $861.12 billion online with U.S. merchants in 2020, up an astounding 44% year over year. That’s the highest annual U.S. e-commerce growth in at least two decades.
  • During the pandemic the pendulum swung from experiences to material purchases (bonus points if you could make a material purchase experiential).
  • Zoom meetings inspired jewelry purchases for those want to add a little personality to their on-screen presence
  • The impact of the stimulus check was felt with a 106% increase in jewelry sales in 2020 during the height of the pandemic
  • Companies were forced to pivot. Bergio International had to close their retail stores and focused on growth through acquiring e-commerce brands.
  • The Bergio portfolio acquired Aphrodite’s, a growing fashion jewelry label for $5 million and GearBubble, a B2B e-commerce fulfillment platform for $3.2 million, greatly expanding their e-commerce footprint.
  • Bergio made $584k during 2020, and is on track to make nearly $30 million this year due to those strategic acquisitions, approximately 5000% Y/Y growth.
  • Bergio international is vertically integrated, (meaning they control their own supply chain from start to finish) allowing for competitive pricing, a significantly higher quality, and less issues to get the items they need.
