Do you still like pearls?




Even in the most ancient jewels the pearl was a star. Pearls have always been considered a classic in the world of jewelry, loved by queens and princesses, but also by women in general. But now? Do pearls retain their charm? What do the younger generations think? These questions are answered by a survey conducted in the USA by the Cultured Pearl Association of American and carried out by Mvi Marketing. Of course, the survey was conducted on American consumers, but it is very likely that the results differ not much from those that would be achieved in other countries.

The study was conducted July 19-24 with questionnaires to 1,012 people who bought at least $ 200 worth of jewelry in the past three years. The respondents are between the ages of 25 and 55, 73% female, while 27% male. The identikit also considers a family income of over $ 50,000. Additionally, 73 percent of the survey respondents were white, 9 percent African American, 9 percent of Asian descent, and 6 percent Latin American.

And 46% say that pearls are a very common purchase, both because they are also bought for themselves as well as as a gift.

But, unfortunately, there are also negative aspects: for example, the general lack of information on the world of pearls. 81% of consumers have heard of cultured pearls, but only 34% know what it means and 60% do not know the connection between pearls and sustainability. In addition, 23% go against the tide and think that pearls belong to their grandmother’s time and 8% consider them outdated.
