Euphoria despite the pandemic
|
There’s this inimitable wave of euphoria in the air – despite the news of the second wave of Covid19 making its presence felt in China, the USA and Europe. People have learnt to live with the hygiene protocols of the pandemic and refuse to give in to depression and sulking inside closed doors.
Come December and they all want to invite the New Year with a bang – fearlessly – hopefully not recklessly though they have gone all out spending their saved money on jewellery. Gold, diamond and every other form of precious metal is in demand once again swearing to pull the economy out of the depths it was sinking into.
Retail sentiment positive after good festival sales. Bridal driving demand during ongoing wedding season. China recovery gains momentum. Tiffany & Co. 3Q sales -1% to $1B, profit +52% to $119M. Human Rights Watch claims jewelry trade’s responsible sourcing falls short of international standards.
People have learnt to live with the pandemic and that is what will see all of us through these challenging times!
