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.
Should the UK consumer be concerned about these issues Why should shoppers 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 home grown goods are squeezed from the shelves in UK high streets. As a
nation, shoppers in the UK are not readily offered the choice to buy British goods and therefore are manipulated by the large retail companies to blindly support the system of mass
foreign imports. This obviously affects all the home grown 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.
Love2Have are a company who intend to address all these issues directly. They have a website that solely promotes UK jewellery designers in order to help achieve a balance between
imported jewellery and jewellery which has been made in the UK.
"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.
"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."
Love2Have Ltd truly believe in supporting UK home grown creative talent so to find out more why not give their website a visit at www.love2have.co.uk and help keep the UK jewellery industry thriving by buying your jewellery from UK based designers. You will find a range of UK made
