It emphasises those items, which are relevant to exporters from developing countries, and highlights six selected EU markets and looks at the ten Accession Countries. In Part A, up-to-date market information is given on consumption, production, imports/exports, trade structure, prices and the major EU market access requirements. As an exporter, you need this basic information to draw up your Market Entry Strategy (MES) and Export Marketing Plan (EMP) in order to penetrate these jewellery markets successfully. To assist you here, CBI has developed Part B, where Export Marketing Guidelines provide background and a methodology for an external, internal and SWOT analysis. These analyses are needed for your decision - whether to export or not -. Furthermore, essential guidelines are given on using your marketing tools effectively to build up this export venture. The appendices at the end of the survey include contact details of trade associations, trade press and other relevant organisations. The survey excludes jewellery repairs and second-hand (antique) jewellery and the major focus will be on jewellery for personal use, worn on the body or on clothes, which are sub-divided as follows: Jewellery Material content Type of products Precious jewellery Precious metals: gold, platinum, silver (with hallmark). - Earrings Base metal clad with precious metals. - Neckwear Jewellery with precious stones (diamonds, sapphires). - Rings Jewellery with pearls and semi-precious stones. - Bracelets or wristwear - Brooches, pendants Costume jewellery Base metals (plated with silver and/or gold). - Anklets, belly chains Costume jewellery A variety of other materials ranging from brass, - Piercings copper, stainless steel, titanium, plastic, wood, - Cuff-links and studs plastic, leather, horn, shells, imitation pearls, - Others e.g. badges etc. crystal, recycled material and all sorts of beads. Hair accessories Plastic, rubber, horn, wood and other materials. - Hair clips, pins etc. Consumption The EU is the world’s second largest jewellery market, after the USA. Total jewellery retail sales in the 15 EU member countries were estimated at € 21,324 million in 2003, 85 percent of which was generated in the six selected countries. Italy is the largest EU market, accounting for 27 percent of total EU jewellery sales, followed by the United Kingdom (19%), France (15%), Germany, Spain and the Netherlands. Between 1999 and 2003, jewellery retail sales in the selected EU countries rose by 8 percent, from € 16,853 to € 18,190 million. Major EU economies registered low or zero increases in 2003 as recession continued to affect most of Europe. The precious jewellery market was worth € 15,438 million and accounted for 85 percent of jewellery sales in the selected EU markets. It has been traditionally linked to special family occasions. Women for themselves made the majority of purchases. White metals, platinum, precious stones, diamonds and pearls are popular, and yellow gold is popular again. However, consumers have been cautious in their spending on precious jewellery. The costume jewellery market represented 15 percent, or € 2,752 million, of total EU jewellery retail sales in 2003. However this segment accounted around half of jewellery sold in the EU in volume terms, with shares being particularly high in France (65%) and Spain (58%). The costume jewellery market has expanded significantly in recent years with a greater variety of types introduced, ranging from neckwear to toe-rings, hair accessories to piercings. Costume jewellery is an impulse purchase, particularly for the teenage market. This is due to the lower prices of costume jewellery in comparison to precious jewellery. Demand for all types of jewellery is becoming more fragmented and the future market will be driven by: Older women being fashion aware over a longer period of time. More branding and the integration of jewellery into all areas of fashion New users (children, teenagers, men) and the increased importance of celebrity endorsement. More design features in jewellery using less expensive precious metals and coloured stones. More personalised, less formal jewellery. 5 The development of fashion in jewellery follows that of the clothing sector very closely. Both precious and costume jewellery now include a far greater fashion element in styling than was the case a decade ago. Some important key trends are: • Retro chic borrows from elegance and nostalgia, expressed in jewellery by long beaded necklaces, dog collars with pendants, cabochon rings with small disks, and rhinestone brooches • Funky colour reflects a funky, sexy theme, expressed in jewellery by waist chains with charms, long dripping chain and pendant earrings, badges and giant rings, cuff bracelets • Specific trends which are more product specific include dramatic yet tailored designs, not daring but eye-catching; yellow gold is back featuring glamorous designs with warm-coloured gems; bold rings with hefty coloured gemstones; textures, satin finishes, meshy flexible constructions, diamond-intensive brooches; platinum – with and without diamonds; the return of coral and turquoise, sometimes with pearls; new necklace shapes; colour in all forms; longer and more dramatic earrings; more versatility including stackability, reversibility and convertible designs • Longer-term trends essentially relate to the post 2001 era. Terrorism, slumping stock markets, unemployment, disease outbreaks like SARS create a particular mood which feeds into the jewellery trends of tomorrow. Consumers will want items that are personally relevant, that invoke safety, security and stability, offering real value rather than an image. Production In 2002, the turnover of the 17,012 companies in the selected EU countries was estimated at € 14,452 million. Most manufacturers are small business employing up to 10 people and turning over less than € 500,000. They tend to specialise in one particular jewellery type and produce original designs. Italy is the world’s largest manufacturer of gold jewellery and accounted for around 68 percent of the EU output (330 tonnes in 2003), mainly produced by the small specialised factories in the Vicenca area.

  • Freedom of Expression and School Dress Codes: South African and International Perspectives
    FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION AND SCHOOL DRESS CODES: SOUTH AFRICAN AND INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES KEN ALSTON† UNIVERSITY OF FORT HARE, EAST LONDON, SOUTH AFRICA South Africa’s very liberal entrenched Constitution1 is just ten years old. With it have come far reaching legal implications for the entire South African community, from the declaring of a critical concept in customary society to be unconstitutional, to what boys and girls may wear to school. The paper begins with an explanation of the power of the South African Constitution. This sets the scene for examining school dress codes in respect of school uniforms, hairstyles and jewellery. The Constitution declares that ‘everyone has the right to freedom of expression’ while the National Education Department, in its guidelines to schools on developing codes of conduct, specifically refers to freedom of expression as including dress and hairstyles.
