| Note: | Figures are calculated based on using Commerce Department 1992 percentages for jewelry store sales by product
times the current year jewelry store sales total.
The 1992 percentages are the most current figures available for use in determining individual jewelry product sales
in jewelry stores only. These figures are not total US sales for each product. |
Caution: | These figures are mathematical projections and are meant to be used only as a market indicator. |
