The jewellery sector has experienced a rapid shift towards digitisation due to the pandemic's impact on in-person shopping, which previously accounted for up to 30% of the market's spending. As a result, brands have had to adjust their digital marketing and sales strategies by increasing their use of influencer marketing and celebrity endorsements to keep sales and brand relevance afloat.

In response, consumers have embraced and encouraged jewellery's digitaisation, with the brands that adapted the quickest seeing a spike in sales. Furthermore, a robust online presence translates to a powerful source of sales revenue. Predictions point out that digital jewelry sales will grow by 18-21% by 2025, making it a highly lucrative expansion opportunity for jewellery brands to enter the digital realm.

In "Jewellery in the Digital Era," Lefty and Karla Otto team up to uncover the top-performing brands in the sector and unpick what's working across the digital ecosystem now; to determine the next.

This season's Haute Couture shows saw a significant increase in Earned Media Value, rivaling Ready To Wear seasons and reflecting the increased consumption of fashion content worldwide.

This influx of visibility has provided an avenue for lesser-known designers, such as Robert Wun, Miss Sohee, and Gaurav Gupta, to venture into the luxury fashion industry and cater to an uber-rich market segment. Offerings from established brands have held their own, too; Jean-Paul Gaultier invited Haider Ackermann as a guest designer, generating $6.19M EMV, while Viktor & Rolf's illusionary gowns brought in $5.67M, and Mugler created waves with its star-studded runway show ($3.40M). Schiaparelli added a touch of enchantment with its faux animal head creations.
