Release Summary: Never before has the UK jewellery industry faced
such challenging times having faced a glut of cheap imported jewellery
for decades and now with the onset of a predicted recession for
2008 and the rise in gold prices it really is time to start promoting
the UK home grown industries more heavily. We are constantly reminded
of these facts from the BBC and ITV news on an almost daily basis
reporting on the struggling economy and the collapse of the housing
markets.
Press
Release Body: Why is it that most of of our talented home grown
jewellery designers are finding themselves struggling to make
a success of their businesses and is it right that we just stand
by and do nothing to support these wonderful creative people?
Britain’s
got talent? Well of course Britain’s got talent and its
not just our popstars, actors and entertainers but also those
from the design lead industries and in particular the jewellery
trade. But what is it really like these days to be a young fresh
jewellery designer just having left jewellery school or a reasonably
established one for that matter?
Should the UK consumer be concerned about these issues? Why should
we care in this day of imported mass produced goods that is virtually
available in an instant? Its not yet a crime to be English, Scottish,
Welsh or Irish but to buy British is becoming increasingly more
and more difficult as a our home grown goods are squeezed from
the shelves in our high streets. As a nation we are not readily
offered the choice to buy British goods and therefore we are manipulated
by the large retail companies to blindly support the system of
mass foreign imports. This obviously affects all our designers
very hard and many simply give up trading due to the lack of support
and help from companies that in all reality could change this
very unfair consumer driven retail industry.
There are however small glimmers of hope if shoppers were to look
a little harder. Websites supporting local talent do exist but
again are not always easy to find due to the struggle between
the retail giants and the limitless number of bargain style websites
selling low cost imported goods.
“We are increasingly receiving more and more compliments
from our customers buying from us and who are concerned over the
fact that the UK shopper is limited to the same high street designs
with no individual choice whatsoever.” say
Love2Have Ltd.,
a recently newly established UK based website who solely and passionately
believe in selling jewellery made here in the UK by UK based designers.
“Our customers understand that they may have to pay a little
extra for something unique or individually handcrafted but it
is the high quality that counts.”
“We simply need to support these designers before the
industry disappears altogether. It would be a tragedy to lose
such an important part of the British identity that is so much
part of the UKs heritage that dates back to the time of the Celts.
We have experienced ourselves a demise in the number of jewellers
that can readily promote themselves successfully due to the cost
of trade show exhibitions that once again do too little to really
help our talent by charging exorbitant prices for exhibition space
and jousting them against large multinational companies in the
same arenas. This obviously affects all our designers very hard
and many simply give up.”
Britains’ got talent? Well of course Britains’ got
talent.
Love2Have Ltd truly believe in supporting our
home grown creative talent so to find out more why not give their
