According to the Lead-Loe study, the market share of gold jewelry and ornamental items fell to 18.4 percent in 2018, down from 28.1 percent in 2011.
βDiamond jewelry is expensive and people buy it less frequently. They usually purchase after careful consideration. So, only renowned brands and top-quality diamonds with beautiful designs are more sought after by consumers,β said Li Zheng, a research manager at Lead-Leo, .
βYoung Chinese consumers have become the backbone of diamond jewelry trade, and social media is an important channel for them to get related information, so itβs critical for diamond brands to raise their popularity and reputation through social media platforms,β he added.
Sales of diamond jewelry equaled $11.9 billion in China in 2018, with an annual compound growth rate of 10.4 percent registered in the past five years, according to Lead-Leo.Β
Over the coming five years, Lead-Loe predicts, the diamond jewelry sector could see growth in sales of more than 60 percent in terms of local currency.

According to the World Gold Council, Chinaβs jewelry market currently accounting for about 30 percent of global demand.
Following rapid economic growth and rising wealth, demand peaked in 2013, and then tailed off, leaving the jewelry sector with too many stores, excess capacity and fierce price competition.
A period of reinvention followed, as Chinese jewelers focused on boosting their appeal to younger consumers. This was done with aΒ a more diverse product mix and a massive digital presence. The efforts provided encouraging results, with demand for jewelry growing in 2017 for the first time in four years.
What had become apparent, according to the World Gold Council study, was in Tier 1 cities, diamond and platinum jewelry had become almost as almost as popular as gold products, although in lower-tier cities, by consumers still tend to buy high carat, heavy gold jewelry for wealth preservation purposes.
A recent study carried out by UnionPay, one of Chinaβs largest financial services companies, showed that consumers in Tier 1 cities contribute around 40 percent of total national spending. The study also indicated thatΒ among millennials, the generation that the Lead-Leo research indicated is developing a preference for diamond-set jewelry, spending is increasing at twice the rate of spending by older consumers.
