June 29, 2026 (0 comments)
Omaha, NE–Colored stone necklaces delivered one of the strongest results within the Colored Stones & Pearls category in May. While the broader category posted a 7% sales increase, with units down 10% and average retail sale up 19%, colored stone necklaces generated 24% sales growth despite a 16% decline in units. Average retail
sale increased 48% to $1,919.
The sharp rise in average retail sale was the defining driver of performance. Colored stone necklaces generated more than twice the broader category’s increase in average retail sale, offsetting greater unit softness and producing a notably stronger sales result.
This segment stands out as a leading source of higher-value sales within Colored Stones & Pearls. With sales well ahead of the broader category and average retail sale growth reaching 48%, colored stone necklaces played an important role in strengthening category performance even as fewer units were sold.
