Jewelry

With its high sales seasonality, reliance on commodity pricing, and the evolution of new production tactics, including artificial stone cultivation, the jewelry sector is one of the most fascinating aspects of retail. Despite its complexity, our team has an innate understanding of jewelry asset values because it’s where Gordon Brothers got its start as a single jewelry store in 1903. This first-hand knowledge informs the solutions we provide to support our clients’ success in the face of challenge and change.
