Swarovski CEO: Women are increasingly purchasing their own diamonds

13 Ağustos 2026Financial Times
  • Swarovski's CEO has highlighted a significant shift in the jewelry market, noting that the availability of cheaper, lab-grown diamonds is empowering women to purchase their own jewelry. This trend reflects a broader movement towards self-empowerment and independence among women consumers.
  • The growing acceptance of lab-grown stones is also reshaping traditional perceptions of luxury and gifting.
  • The jewelry industry has historically been dominated by traditional gifting practices, where men often purchase diamonds for women. However, the emergence of lab-grown diamonds has disrupted this model, making it easier for women to take control of their purchasing decisions.
  • The rise of self-purchase among women marks a pivotal change in consumer behavior, challenging long-standing norms around jewelry gifting. As lab-grown diamonds become more mainstream, they not only offer affordability but also align with a growing desire for ethical consumption.
