Sustainability and value: Keys to success in the evolving US personal accessories landscape
Personal accessories in the US experienced growth of 2% in retail volume in 2025, reaching 8.0 billion units, with retail value sales increasing by 3% to USD138.4 billion. This growth was largely driven by positive trends in jewellery, with fine jewellery supported by a mantra of buying better but less. The number of high-net-worth individuals in the US continues to grow, indicating a potential market for luxury personal accessories. However, challenges remain with the rising popularity of lab-grown diamonds. To succeed, brands should focus on sustainability, quality, and value-conscious consumers, while adapting to changing consumer habits and distribution channels.
