The Italian market for jewelry, watches and clocks
Article Abstract:
Jewelry is the biggest contributor to Italy's over-all market, accounting for volume sales of 79.1% and value sales of 86% in 1994. The wrist watch sector pulled off the highest growth rate at 50% increase between 1990 to 1994. Although gold and silver jewelry industry in Italy has the largest values, the Italian over-all market for jewelry has experienced a year-on-year decline since about 1991. This may be attributed to the devaluation of lira, increase in the price of precious metals, stiff competition and the country's indefinite political climate.
