　　改革开放近40年来，中国的供需结构和市场形势发生了根本变化，多样化、多元化、多层次的全新消费格局正在形成。随着居民人均收入的稳步上涨以及千禧一代的迅速崛起，城乡居民正在经历从以往的大规模、同质化、普及型的消费，向多样性、差异化、高品质的新消费转型。

　　In recent 40 years from Reform and Opening-up Policy, China's supply-demand structure and market situation has a fundamental change, in which a new diversified consumption pattern multi-choice and multi-level is forming. With stable growth of per capita income and a rapid emerging of "Millennial Generation", rural and urban residents are transforming the previous large-scale, homogenized and popularized consumption to a new diversified consumption with differentiation and high-quality.

　　特别是2016年以来，中国黄金珠宝首饰行业正在发生结构性变革，具体表现为：通过“互联网+”和高新技术的融合与应用，积极创新生产制造和商业运营模式，在智能制造、设计创意、私人订制、线上线下整合营销等方面成效显著；品牌集中度进一步提高，分销渠道寡头格局正在形成；资本市场并购愈发注重优质资产、国际品牌，以及全产业链的战略布局；新技术、新材料的研发不断取得突破，3D打印首饰、3D硬金首饰、融合数字技术的可穿戴智能首饰，以及将传统材料与新材料相结合的集成创新首饰等，创新型产品不断涌现；注重款式设计的创意性、追求高品质、轻奢风、高频次等新消费形态正在形成……

　　Especially since 2016, China's gold and jewelry industry has been transformed structurally, featuring in following specific performances: By a fusion and application of "Internet +" and high-tech, an active innovation on production and business operation mode is executed, and a remarkable success is achieved in respects of Intelligent manufacturing, creative design, personal customization and integrated both online and offline marketing; brand concentration further improves, and an oligarch situation on distribution channels is forming; M&A in capital market focuses more on assets with high quality, international brands and the strategic layout of overall industry chain; the research and development on new technology and materials achieve continuous breakthroughs and many innovative products are constantly emerging, such as 3D printing jewelry, 3D hard-gold jewelry, wearable smart jewelry fused with digital technology as well as innovative jewelry integrated with traditional and new materials; new consumption type that focuses on creation of style design and pursues high quality, casual luxury, high frequency is forming...

　　随着中国政府供给侧结构性改革等一系列新经济政策的实施，中国经济的增长方式正由速度型增长向质量型增长转变。新旧动能的转换已经显现实质效果——近两年，中国经济增长的动力格局由过去的以投资、出口拉动为主正逐步地向以消费为主转变。

　　With the implementation of a series of new economic policies, such as the Supply-side Structural Reform of Chinese government, the growth pattern of China's economy is changing from speed-oriented growth to qualitative-oriented growth. The conversion of old and new impetus energies has shown real effect -- in recent two years, the impetus layout of China's economic growth has gradually given its priority from previous investment and export driving to consumption driving.

　　近日，国务院总理李克强在全国人大十三届一次会议上所做的政府工作报告指出，近五年来，中国居民收入年均增长7.4%，超过经济增速，已形成了世界上人口最多的中等收入群体。按照世界银行的标准，据保守测算，目前中国中等收入群体有4亿多人口，约占全球中等收入群体的30%以上，并且其规模还在迅速增长中。预计至2030年，中国的中等收入群体规模在总人口中的占比将达到60%左右。据国家统计局数据显示，2017年中国居民全年最终消费支出对国内生产总值增长的贡献率为58.8%。

　　In recent, Li Keqiang, Premier of the State Council pointed out in the Government Work Report made at the First Meeting of the Thirteenth National People's Congress that, in recent five years, China, with a resident income growth at an average annual rate of 7.4%, exceeding the economic growth, has formed a middle-income group with the world's largest population. According to the standard of the World Bank, the conservative estimation shows that currently China's middle-income group has a population of more than 400 million, accounting for about over 30% of that in the world, with a rapid growing size. It is estimated that by 2030, the population of China's middle-income group will account for about 60% of the total. As shown in National Bureau of Statistics data, in 2017, Chinese residents' final consumer expenditure annually has 58.8% contribution rate of GDP growth.

　　可以肯定的是，拥有全球规模最大的中等收入群体的中国，其庞大且充满活力的消费市场，在未来较长的一段时期仍具有很强的扩展能力，从而让中国经济也保持着强劲的韧性，能抵御住外部环境变化造成的冲击。

　　It is certain that China, with the world's largest middle-income group, has a huge consumption market which is full of vitality remaining a strong expansion capacity for a longer period in the future, so as to allow China's economy also to keep a strong tenacity to resist the impact of changes in the external environment.

　　随着中等收入群体的不断壮大，中国市场的消费升级正在对包括黄金珠宝在内的各个传统产业产生着深刻影响。从文化传承、资本并购到人才培养、品牌塑造；从产品创新、尊重设计、鼓励原创，到保护知识产权、复兴传统工艺和匠人文化……当前，中国的黄金珠宝行业正在各个层面褪去过去粗放式的浮躁和快钱理论，从过去单纯的对于规模产出和市场占比的追求，重新回归于对产品品质、艺术品位和品牌格调的追求。

　　As the middle-income group gets larger, the consumption upgrading of China's market is producing a profound effect on all kinds of traditional industries including gold and jewelry. From cultural inheritance and capital M&A to talent cultivation and brand building; From product innovation, respecting design, encouraging originals to protecting intellectual property rights, revitalizing traditional handicraft and craftsman culture... At present, China's gold and jewelry industry is discarding its previously extensive-style theories of fickleness and quick money at all levels and returns to the pursuit of product quality, art taste and brand style from previously simple pursuit of scale output and market shares.

　　基于对国家发展前景普遍的自信和乐观预期，中国一场新的消费革命已经吹响号角。显然，在这波消费浪潮中，愈加开放的中国市场对中外黄金珠宝产业而言，都具有足够的吸引力。

　　Based on a general confident and optimistic estimation towards our nation's future, new consumption revolution in China has sounded the horn. Obviously, in this wave of consumption, China's market has become more open, which possesses more attractions to gold and jewelry industry both at home and abroad.

上篇：深刻变革中的中国黄金珠宝产业

Part I: The Gold and Jewelry Industry under Deep Transformation

　　改革开放近40年来，中国黄金珠宝市场的蓬勃发展已受到全球业界的瞩目，截止2016年，终端市场的销售额已突破5500亿元人民币，是世界上增长最迅速、规模最大的黄金珠宝消费市场之一。当前，随着“千禧一代”的崛起，黄金珠宝市场的消费升级，将成为主导行业未来、重塑市场竞争格局的主要推手。2017年，全产业链各个环节发生的变化，当下看，似乎未必是具有革命性的大变革，但如果将其放在中国经济社会大变革的背景下观察，这些变化背后的逻辑，则关乎未来一段时期众多企业的兴衰成败。

　　For almost 40 years since the reform and opening-up policy, the flourishing development of gold and jewelry market in China has been remarkable and thus attracted wide attention in the global industry. As of 2016, the sale amount at the terminal market had reached RMB 550 billion and persuasively secured China as one of the largest gold and jewelry consumption markets with the fastest growing speed in the world. Currently, with the rising of the "Millennial Generation", the gold and jewelry market is experiencing the consumption upgrading and it will definitely become a major pushing force in leading the industry future and shaping the competitive landscape of the market. In 2017, changes occur in each link of the whole industry chain; under a restricted current view, large revolutionary transformation might not be expected to occur; however, under the context of the great transformation of China's economy and society, these changes involve a logic that is key to the wax and wane of various enterprises in a future certain period.

 

　　（一）产品变革：个性化消费崛起

　　(I) Product Transformation: Rising of Personalized Consumption

　　据统计，中国的钻石消费连续多年位列世界第二，玉石、珍珠、彩色宝石的消费比例也在不断攀升。特别是刚刚过去的2017年，在珠宝行业呈现回暖趋势的大背景下，个性化与时尚化成为珠宝市场发展的新趋势。随着国际原材料价格行情的变化，“千禧一代”消费者的崛起，以及他们对市场诉求的变化，国内珠宝市场品类行情、价格趋势和风格式样发生了很大变化。

　　According to statistics, the diamond consumption in China has ranked the second in the world for many consecutive years while the sale proportions of jade, pearl and color jewel have also realized continuous rising. Especially in the just past 2017, under the general background of picking up in the jewelry industry, individuality and fashion represent new trends in the development of jewelry industry. As the prices of international raw materials vary, the "Millennial Generation" rises up and their appeal to the market changes, the quotation, price trend and styles of jewelry products in domestic market has experienced great changes.

 

　　金饰：工艺提升带动消费世界黄金协会提供的数据显示，2017年中国内地前三季度共加工金饰47.25吨，同比增加13%，加工金条和金币232.8吨，同比增长57%，消费需求量为 70.53 吨，同比增长23%。针对中国黄金需求量增长，世界黄金协会中国区董事总经理王立新曾表示，由于消费者钟爱创新及差异化，中国金饰需求量增长主要集中在 18K 金、3D 硬金等。

　　Gold ornaments: The improvement of processing technic drives the consumption. It is shown in the data provided by the World Gold Council that 47.25t gold ornaments have been processed in Chinese mainland within the former three quarters of 2017 (a year-on-year increase of 13%), 232.8t gold bars and gold coins have been processed (a year-on-year increase of 57%) and the relevant consumption demand is 70.53t (a year-on-year increase of 23%). With regards to the increasing gold demand in China, Wang Lixin, the Director and General Manager the Chinese zone of the World Gold Council, expressed that since consumers favor innovation and differentiation, the gold demand increase mainly lies in 18K gold and 3D hard gold, etc.

　　针对高纯度黄金过于柔软，很难承载复杂设计的“短板”，一些从业者更注重新技术、新工艺的应用。以 3D 硬金为例，企业在不改变黄金纯度的基础上，生产出了立体感强、硬度高的金饰，造型精致，克数小，体积大。

　　Due to the excessive softness of the gold of high purity, it is often inapplicable in complicated designs. Thus, some practitioners pay more attention on the application of new technologies and new processes. In the example of 3D hard gold, enterprises try to produce gold ornaments featuring high stereoscopic impression and hardness in exquisite styling with small grammage and large size.

　　不可否认，新工艺为市场带来了共赢。消费者对于可以展现独特风格的新产品，更愿意买单，而从业者也得到了更高的加工费和附加值。但是不容忽视的是，在 2017 年，主打“四个九”甚至“五个九”的高纯度黄金饰品，销售也呈现明显增长态势，很多珠宝企业和消费者的第一关注点仍然是金含量。

　　It cannot be denied that new processing techniques create win-win situation in the market. The consumers prefer to pay for the new products of unique characteristics while the practitioners gain more processing fees and additional values. However, what should not be ignored is that in 2017 the sales of gold ornaments featuring high purity of AU 9999 and even AU99999 take on an obvious increasing trend for the priority to the jewelry enterprises and consumer still lies in the au content.

　　世界黄金协会调研显示，一方面，顺应城镇消费升级大趋势，黄金首饰销售渠道不断下沉。金饰行业实体店铺在经历了 2015 年至 2016 年度的停滞期后有所恢复，新开门店主要集中在三线、四线城市。另一方面，着眼于精通科技的“千禧一代”，是网上消费的重要推动力量，零售商不断调整策略以吸引这一消费群体。

　　According to researches of the World Gold Council, on one hand, to follow the general trend of urban and town consumption upgrading, the gold and jewelry marketing channels continue to extend towards grass-root levels. After a stagnant period from 2015 to 2016, the real stores for gold ornaments see a recovery in some degree with the new stores gathering in the third-tier and fourth-tier cities. On the other hand, aiming at the technology-proficient "Millennial Generation" as an important driving force for online consumption, retailers constantly renovate their policies to attract attention of this group of consumers.

 

　　钻饰：内地市场潜力巨大除世界最大的钻石市场美国之外，中国内地市场成为包括蒂芙尼公司在内，多家国际钻石饰品销售公司高度关注的市场。

　　Diamond accessories: The mainland market features a great potential. Except the largest diamond market in the world --- the USA, the Chinese mainland market also attracts a lot of attention from multiple international companies famous for the sale of diamond ornaments, including Tiffany and Co.

　　此外，周大福集团最近公布的业绩证实，其在内地市场已经连续四个季度出现同店销售增长。一贯主打黄金饰品的周大福，近两年来非常看好内地钻饰市场前景，动作频频。先是在 2016 年推出自有钻石品牌“周大福 T MARK”；而后又在2017 年 4 月以 7120 万美元竞得全球最贵60 克拉“粉红之星”，以拉动产品销售，振奋市场情绪；同年 5 月，周大福特别推出轻奢珠宝品牌“SOINLOVE”, 主打婚嫁钻戒定制。

　　In addition, it can be told from the performance recently released by Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Group Limited that it has realized a four-quarter consecutive increase in the mainland market. Chow Tai Fook has always focused its business on gold ornaments; since they expect a good prospect for the diamond in the mainland market, frequent actions have been taken correspondingly. Firstly, in 2016, it launched their own diamond brand "Chow Tai Fook T MARK"; Later, in April 2017, it won the most expensive 60-karat "Pink Star" with 7,120 USD in an auction to drive products sales and rouse the market sentiment. In May of the same year, Chow Tai Fook launched the luxury jewelry brand "SOINLOVE" featuring customization of diamond rings for wedding.

　　婚嫁市场依然是 2017 年中国内地钻饰的主要销售动因，特别是主石在 30 分~50 分左右的钻戒，正在成为二三线城市婚嫁钻戒的基础分值。

　　The wedding market still functions as a major sale driving force of diamond accessories in Chinese mainland in 2017. Especially wedding diamond rings of 0.3-0.5 karat are becoming the basic types demanded in the third-tier and fourth-tier cities.

　　2018 年，中国年轻消费者特别是千禧一代的钻石消费比重将日益增加。同时，女性为自己购买钻饰的情况也越来越普遍，这些购买群体将使作为爱情和婚庆象征的钻石渐渐变为一种自我表达的时尚标识。因此，在钻石首饰的设计和推广中，更应关注此类人群的情感和审美诉求。而方形钻、梨形钻、心形钻等异形钻也将在 2018 年获得更多关注。

　　In 2018, the diamond consumption proportions of the young consumers, especially the consumers derived from the "Millennial Generation", will increase. At the same time, it is becoming more common for a woman to buy herself a diamond accessory. This group of consumer will turn the diamond originally signifying love and marriage to be a fashionable identifier used for self-expression. Therefore, the affection and aesthetic request of this group of people should be highlighted in the design and promotion of diamond jewelries. Nevertheless, cube diamond, pear-shaped diamond, heart-shaped diamond and other fancy shaped diamonds will attract more attention in 2018.

 

　　彩宝饰品　Consumers of color jewels

　　彩色宝石市场两极分化越来越明显。普通商品价格与前一年基本持平，但高品质宝石价格依然坚挺并有水涨船高之势，特别是高品质的红蓝宝和祖母绿等 3大宝石价格坚挺。如在 2017 年 4 月苏富比（香港）拍卖中，1 枚卡地亚制作的（1930年）1.25 克拉无烧红宝石戒指成交价达237500 港币。

　　The polarization of color jewels grows more and more distinct. The prices for common commodities stays stable compared with last year while the high-quality jewels keep a high price level and are expected to realize corresponding rises, especially high prices of high-quality ruby, sapphire and emerald. For example, in the auction of Sotheby in April 2017, the closing cost of a 1.25 karats non-burned ruby ring made by Cartier (in 1930) reached 237,500 HKD.

　　此外，新兴宝石品种逐渐走热。由于国际珠宝厂牌的助推，名贵宝石价格居高不下，而市场急需寻求购买替代品、新品种入门门槛相对较低等原因都令新兴宝石品种价格走热。最重要的还是新兴宝石本身令人着迷的美丽和珍贵稀缺性。在 2017 年，巴西“帕拉伊巴”碧玺、俄罗斯“翠榴石”以及部分高级红色尖晶石价格增速极快。

　　Moreover, new emerging jewel categories are becoming in favor. Due to the propelling of international jewelry brands, the prices of precious jewels stay at a high level; moreover, the urgent need for alternatives by the market, low accession thresholds for new categories and other reasons all promoted the popularity of new jewel categories. What is the most important is the fascinating beauty and precious rareness implied in the new jewels themselves. In 2017, the prices for Brazilian "Paraiba" tourmaline, Russian "Demantoid" and part of red spinel saw a fast increase.

　　另外， 由 于 近 几 年 的 组 团 推 广，2017 年堪称中国“欧珀”年，欧珀成为在中国内地市场认知度和接受度较高的宝石之一。黑欧珀价格涨幅明显，高级别欧珀国际成交价达到 3 万元 / 克拉，但白欧珀和铁线欧珀价格较 2016 年持平。

　　In addition, the promotion by various groups in recent years allows the 2017 to be designated as China's "opal" year with opal becoming one of the most widely recognized and accepted jewels in Chinese mainland market. The price of black opal increases significantly and the closing cost for high-grade opal reaches 30,000 RMB/karat; however, the prices for opal and wire-vein opal level off with 2016.

　　有数据显示，款式时尚，销售价格在 3000 元至 5000 元，K 金镶嵌的碧玺、海蓝宝石、水晶等彩色宝石首饰在 2017年受到时尚女性消费者的广泛青睐。

　　Some data display that K-gold inlaid tourmaline, aquamarine, crystal and other color jewelries with sale prices falling between 3,000 RMB and 5,000 RMB in fashionable designs won a wide popularity among stylish women consumers in 2017.

　　而随着国人对各种彩色宝石认知度的不断提高，以及消费力、审美力的不断提升和服饰搭配的多种诉求，2018 年，K 金镶嵌彩色宝石首饰需求将继续攀升，并将从单一产品消费向个性化、套系化扩展。

　　With our fellow countrymen's consecutive advancement in the recognition of color jewels, consumptive power and aesthetic ability and the varying of their requests for apparel and accessories, the demand for K-gold inlaid color jewelries will continue to rise in 2018 and extend from singular product consumption to individual products and set & series products.

 

　　玉石品类：名家精品受热捧2017 年，各类玉石原材料价格都有所上升，特别是品级优良的和田玉、翡翠原材料及成品价格稳中有升。同时，新玉种表现抢眼，在 2017 年，玉石材料呈现多样化，析木玉、南红玛瑙、阿拉善玛瑙等多种玉石种类受玉雕大师青睐。

　　Jade categories: Boutiques made by masters are highly demanded. In 2017, the prices of various jade raw materials saw increases; especially the those for raw materials and finished products of high-graded hetian jade and jadeite realized a steady rise. Meanwhile, new jade categories took on an eye-catching performance. In 2017, jade materials exhibited a variety, with Simu jade, Nanjiang red agate, Alashan red agate, etc. widely favored by jade cariving masters.

　　而从黄龙玉到泰山玉，新玉种逐渐开始获得官方的认可，相继被列入国家标准中。在和田玉和高级翡翠愈显稀缺的当下，新玉种的开拓，必将为玉雕创作带来更大的空间。

　　New jade categories from Huanglong jade to Taishan jade gradually have gained the recognition of authorities and are successively listed national standards. Under the increasing shortage of Hetian jade and high-graded jadeite, the development of new jade categories will necessarily bring larger space for jade carving.

　　从高端文玩类玉石销售来看，2018年，买家将更加注重藏玉的个人喜好，因此个性突出、特色鲜明的名家精品受追捧；而在首饰类产品领域，镶嵌类玉石产品（金镶玉）继续成为满足零售终端普通消费者的配饰之一。

　　From the perspective of high-end jade collectables sale, buyers will pay more attention on the personal preferences in jade collection and thus, boutiques made by masters with highlighted personalities and outstanding characteristics will be popular in 2018. In the field of jewelry products, inlaid jade product (gold inlaid with jade) is still one that satisfies ordinary consumers at retail terminals.

 

　　珍珠：源头价格涨势惊人

　　Pearls: Unexpected price increases occurred at the source.

　　由于近年来海水污染加剧，2017 年天然海水珍珠拍卖价格不断攀升，即使是海水养殖珠，价格也有所上浮。2017年 3 月初香港国际珠宝展之后，珍珠价格涨势迅猛，不仅 Akoya 珍珠价格大增，其他海水珍珠，例如大溪地珍珠、南洋珍珠等也持续上涨。而且 15 毫米以上的优质品质珍珠已很难入手。

　　Due to the exacerbation of marine pollution, the auction price of seawater natural pearls saw a continuous increase in 2017; even prices for those deriving from sea farming also realized some increases. After the Hong Kong International Jewellery Show at the beginning of March 2017, peal prices increased rapidly. The price increase occurred ont only in Akoya pearl but also in other seawater peals, such as Tahitian pearl, the South Sea pearl, etc. Moreover, high quality pearls above 15mm have become hard to be bought.

　　2017 年国内淡水珍珠行业经历了最为残酷的“寒冬”——各地淡水珍珠“禁限养令”接连下发，对上游养殖业影响巨大。根据华东国际珠宝城发布的珍珠成品价格信息指数显示，除 2017 年 1 月、7 月、9 月略有下跌之外，其他月份都呈上涨趋势。由于终端零售市场成品库存量大，因此，2017 年珍珠成品零售价格未出现大幅增加。但是，相信随着库存的减少，2018 年以后淡水珍珠价格在终端市场将大幅度上涨。

　　In 2017, the domestic fresh water pearl industry experienced the severest "winter" --- "Regulations To Prohibit and Restrict Breeding" targeted at fresh water pearls were issued successively and generated huge influences on the upstream aquaculture. The price index of finished pearl products released by CP&J City displays that the related prices took on a rising trend in all months except January, July and September of 2017. Since the retail market terminal held a large scale of inventory, no large-scale price increases occurred in the retail of finished pearl products in 2017. However, with the decreasing of inventory, the prices for fresh water pearls will increase largely at the terminal market since 2018.

 

　　（二）品牌变革：瞄准新兴群体和细分领域

　　(II) Transformation of Brands: Newly emerged groups and subdivided areas are targeted.

　　2017年，越来越多的珠宝品牌走向舞台的中央，而要抓住国内珠宝市场“轻奢化、个性化”消费升级的趋势，自身的“看家本领”自然必不可少。

　　In 2017, more jewelry brands appeared on the center of the stage; however, to catch up the consumption upgrading trend of the domestic jewelry market as being "affordable luxury and individualized", it is necessary to possess one's own "special skills".

　　2017年的珠宝市场已经进入到“最后冲刺”的阶段。回顾2017年珠宝市场整体表现，人们或许不难发觉，行业整合的速度正在加剧。一边是强势品牌持续走高，一边是单品类品牌向专业细分领域不断深耕。显然，国内珠宝品牌的“突围赛”已经打响。

　　The jewelry market in 2017 has entered into the phase for "last spurt". In a review of the overall performance of the 2017 jewelry market, it is not hard to discover by people that the industrial consolidation is speeding up. On one hand, strong brands keep rising prices; on the other hand, brands specialized for singular items move towards continuous deep ploughing in professional subdivided areas. Obliviously, the "breakout competition" among domestic jewelry brands has been started.

　　面对竞争愈加激烈的环境，珠宝品牌未来的出路在哪里？是周大福、周生生这样的超级航母能稳夺桂冠？还是百泰、缘与美、莱绅通灵一般的战斗舰船异军突起？抑或是魔吻、LILIBOBO、MLE超级婚戒等特色小舟能出其不意？这些都值得我们在2018年拭目以待。

　　Confronted with a more and more competitive environment, what is the future way for jewelry brands? Will the industrial giants like Chow Tai Fook and Chow Sang Sang be destined to win the laurel? Or will the industrial ordinary brands like Batar, Y&M Jewelry and Leysen Tesiro rise suddenly as a new force? Or will the characteristic small brands like Mover, LILIBOBO and MLE take by surprise? All of these are remained to be witnessed in 2018.

 

品牌建设大势所趋

The brand construction represents the general trend.

　　香港的周大福、周生生、六福等及内地的中国黄金、老凤祥、周大生等主要布局一二线城市的强势品牌，正凭借自己的资金、渠道、资源等品牌优势，加速提升品牌价值。 随着珠宝产业品牌化时代的到来，珠宝品牌的产品研发、制作工艺、运营模式、服务水平、品牌文化等方面，都有质的提高，整个行业进入新的发展阶段。

　　Hong Kong's brands like Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang and Lukfook and mainland brands like China Gold, Lao Feng Xiang Jewelry and Chow Tai Seng are all strong brands mainly distributed in the first-tier and second-tier cities and are speeding up their brand value on the basis of their capital, channels, rescources and other brand advantages. With the advent of branding era for the jewelry industry, qualitative improvements are realized in the product R&D, craftsmanship, operation model, service level and brand culture, which allow the overall industry to step into a new phase for development.

 

向细分领域分层布局

Layered Layout towards Subdivided Areas

　　2017年，越来越多的珠宝品牌走向舞台中央，而要抓住国内珠宝市场“轻奢化、个性化”消费升级的趋势，自身的“看家本领”自然必不可少。

　　In 2017, more jewelry brands appeared on the center of the stage; however, to catch up the consumption upgrading trend of the domestic jewelry market as being "affordable luxury and individualized", it is necessary to possess one's own "special skills".

　　其中，周大福和莱绅通灵在年轻化方面的转变较为亮眼。莱绅通灵通过融合比利时王室珠宝品牌Leysen文化，打造王室IP进行产品差异化竞争。而传统的黄金饰品品牌周大福也开始充满年轻气息，今年推出了粉色少女风的SOINLOVE，个性高冷风的Monologue两个轻奢珠宝品牌。同时聘请人气演员赵丽颖为形象代言人，注重年轻人喜爱的电商渠道。在年轻化驱动下，二者收入端增速表现优于行业整体。

　　Wherein, Chow Tai Fook and Leysen Tesiro realize outstanding transformations in the aspect of rejuvenation. By integrating the culture of Belgian royal jewelry brand --- Leysen, Leysen Tesiro manages to create royal IP in the production differentiation competition. Moreover, Chow Tai Fook, a traditional brand in gold ornaments, also begin to be infused with young feelings and launched two jewelry brands at the level of affordable luxury, respectively girl pink series of SOINLOVE and individual-aloof series of Monologue. Meanwhile, popular actress Miss Zhao Liying is invited as the image spokesperson to pay attention to the e-commerce, which is popular among the young. Driven by the trend of being youthful, increasing rates of both terminals are higher than the overall data.

　　此外，黄金珠宝生产制造行业的领军企业百泰集团今年着力推广的“囍福”品牌，正是看中了市场细分下结婚金饰的新趋势，着力打造的百泰首饰、尚金缘、百泰国礼等品牌，也是百泰集团品牌战略的有力实践。

　　Besides, the "Xifu" brand of Batar Group, the leader in the gold and jewelry producing industry is just aiming at the wedding gold jewelry, a newly specified market trend. This group has built up with effort several brands such as Batar Jewelry, Showking and Batar National Gift for further development, which lies the powerful practice of the group's brand strategy.

　　而黄金珠宝生产制造行业内的生产制造类企业，也纷纷出击，在品牌之路上大刀阔斧地向前迈进。不仅各家品牌产品品质又迈上了一个台阶，而且随着消费者的关注度和认可度的提升，单品类品牌向上突破的决心也展露无遗。在珠宝首饰制造领域处于行业领先地位的缘与美更是在今年紧抓消费升级浪潮，开启珠宝品牌时代，打造专属的品牌印记。把“玫瑰”这一印记植入顾客大脑，从潜意识里培养人们对品牌的辨识度，打造一个拥有鲜明品牌印记的珠宝品牌。

　　Manufacturing enterprises in the gold and jewelry manufacturing industry, at the same time, are sparing no efforts to popularize their brands. As a result, not only the quality of all brands has won significant improvement, but the brands also won more customers' attention and acceptance while thoroughly illustrating their decision to make breakthroughs and developments. Y&M Jewelry, the bellwether in its field has also wasted no time this year to upgrade itself by starting the jewelry brand era, shaping its own style. It shapes a jewelry brand with distinguished brand style by printing the image of "Rose" on customers' impression, making it easy to tell.

 

“年龄”不再是品牌的优势

"Age" Is No Longer an Advantage of a Brand.

　　现代品牌运作与发展的模式，早已超出原有按部就班的稳定状态，总在颠覆、迭代、革命中前行。新生品牌可能一夜红遍全球，而百年品牌也可能一夜倒掉。“年龄”不再是品牌的优势。国内珠宝市场“轻奢化、个性化”消费升级的趋势，也衍生出许多创新类珠宝品牌，以创新首饰文化品牌魔吻为代表，一系列定制、个性、情感类特色品牌纷纷在今年创立，并在传统品牌多年笼罩的大市场下闯出一片天地。这些珠宝品牌往往蕴含了其特有的设计理念、品牌定位及文化元素，获得消费者的认同并产生吸引力，但要想持续，就需要经过长久经营的沉淀和积累。

　　Being improved from the steady style of following the old track, modern brands have formed their own development and management mode, running forward with continuous subversion, upgrading and transformation. A new brand may be in vogue overnight, while a historical brand may die out within a day. "Age" is no longer an advantage of a brand. The trend of domestic jewelry market to be "affordable luxury & personality" has also derived some creative jewelry brands represented by the creative and cultural jewelry brand -- Mover. A series of customized, characteristic and emotional brands have been established this year, occupying their share in a market used to be ruled by old brands. These brands usually have their unique design idea, brand positioning and cultural elements, aiming to gain customers' acceptance and attention, which require long-time marketing and accumulation to be sustained.

　　面对新时代珠宝市场愈发激烈的竞争环境，珠宝品牌依旧要以背水一战的姿态面向充满更多挑战的未来，才能在这场旷日持久的突围赛中先拔头筹，进而在今后迎来真正的突出重围，创造出更多的珠宝行业的中国名牌甚至世界名牌。

　　In an increasingly competitive market at a new age, jewelry brands must face the challenging future with the resolution of taking every battle as the last one to win this long lasting competition, and create more domestic and even international famous brands in the jewelry industry.

 

 

　　（三）渠道变革:线上线下深度融合

　　(III) Channel Transformation: Close Integration of Online and Offline Channels.

　　掌握了渠道，就如同牵住了黄金珠宝行业发展的“牛鼻子”。渠道的建设及拓展，其重要性不言而喻。在一定程度上，渠道是企业制胜市场的关键。在产品、价格同质化的背景下，渠道建设及管理成为企业发展的着力点。

　　Those who win the channels will handle the steering wheel of gold and jewelry industry. One can never be emphasized further is the importance of building and developing marketing channels. Channel, in a certain degree, is the key for a manufacturer to rule the market. Channel developing and maintaining, when the homogenization appears in products and prices, have become the companies' priority of development.

　　在黄金珠宝行业中，当前的渠道新姿态就是近两年备受关注的B2B平台。

　　The new channel in gold and jewelry industry is B2B platform, which has won much attention in recent years.

 

上游：传统渠道生存如何？

Upstream: How to Survive for Traditional Channels?

　　可以说，黄金珠宝首饰的传统营销渠道在很长一段时间内走的是一条由厂家、批发商、经销商、零售商建立起来的分销渠道。在这条渠道上，各级销售商都能够因为良好的市场反应而获取一定的市场利润，从而也在相当长的时间内因为利益分配的相对均衡而支撑着传统分销渠道的繁荣和畅通。伴随着珠宝市场的发展，涌现出了众多黄金珠宝类的互联网电商平台，诸如珠宝商、黄金E族、珠宝易等，大抵都是B2B平台。同时，还有一些直播、微商、电视直销等类型的销售渠道不断涌现，众多厂家开始采用不同的手段开发和掌控新的渠道。科技改变人们的生活方式，伴随着发生变化的是市场渠道、营销的根本性变革。“实体经济+互联网”后，对实体经济产生了极大的促进作用，同时也对产业链条上的一些环节带来了“灾难”。究其原因首先是整个市场陷入“冬寒期”，销售疲软；其二是受到业内出现的互联网平台的冲击。

　　It's agreed that in a long run, traditional marketing channels of gold and jewelry consist of manufacturers, wholesalers, dealers and retailers. In such a channel, sellers of every level get certain market profit because of beneficial market response, and in return, they maintain the channel to be smooth and prosperous in a long period for a relatively well-distributed profit. E-commerce platforms are emerging with the gold and jewelry market's booming such as "Jewelry Dealers", "Golden Zu" and "Jewelry Easy", most of which belong to B2B platforms. Channels such as live shows, Wechat sellers and TV shopping are keeping emerging, allowing manufacturers to develop and control new channels in various ways. With people's way of life being improved by technology, the thorough transformation is happening in market channels and marketing. "Real economy + Internet" has greatly pushed the development of the real economy, but it also introduces "disaster" to some links on the industry chain. Firstly, it's because that the whole market is suffering a "harsh winter" with low sales. Secondly, there appears an attack form internet platforms.

 

革新：B2B平台迎来春天？

Innovation: Will B2B Be Prosperous?

　　对于近两年出现的B2B平台而言，以迅雷不及掩耳之势，占据市场客户资源的速度极为惊人。这类B2B平台，已经呈现出极强的生命力和优势，如解决了历史库存高，周转不快；传统进货难，成本太高；产品更新快，款式陈旧等行业固有的通病。

　　B2B platforms in recent years have occupied the market and customers' resource with a surprising speed, which has shown their surprising vigor and advantages, and solved inherent problems existing in the industry, such as the historical inventory is high and the turnover remains slow; traditional stocking is costly and difficult; as well as the fast product upgrading and old fashioned styles have been a general problem in this industry.

　　酒香也怕巷子深。在珠宝圈，尤其是对渠道建设方面的“巷子”而言，它往往可以被理解为人们长久坚持的一种习惯，或是传统思维模式。这种模式，由来已久，故而很难“连根拔起。”众所周知，在珠宝行业里，终端零售店都有固定的供应商，这是一种长期建立起来的关系。

　　Even a best seller may be killed by poor marketing. In jewelry industry, a poor marketing could be taken as a long insisted habit or an old fashioned thinking mode. Such mode has been running so long that it's almost impossible to be eradicated. As it's well known in the jewelry industry, all retailers are tied to their own suppliers by a long term relationship.

　　终端零售商和供应商之间不仅仅是一种货品交易关系那么简单，他们之间还有资金支持的关系——供货商可以直接授信给零售商，允许合作多年且资质较好的零售商以缴纳部分资金的形式，来获得多于全额资金所需的产品，既可以赊账，也可以拉长账期。对比很多新生的 B2B 平台而言，他们大抵还无法满足终端零售商的这些刚性需求。这种传统渠道的运作模式，使得传统批发形式依然占据着主流。

　　This relationship between sellers and buyers is not only about commodity transaction, but about fund supports -- a supplier could credit a long-term cooperator who is trusted to pay part of the cost for products worth more than the total sum. The cooperator may pay later or longer than required when permitted. In contrast, most new B2B platforms are not able to satisfy such rigid demands of their retailers. This running mode of old channel helps traditional wholesale maintain its controlling position.

　　而且，就珠宝品类的采购而言，钻石镶嵌等珠宝的采购周期一般为三个月左右。首批采货或者大量采购这些珠宝的时候，一般零售商都会亲自去深圳水贝进行挑选。终端珠宝店老板采购一般都是靠眼睛去看，看过货品之后，才决定是否要采购。除非是补货，有固定的型号、款式等，终端零售商才直接在 B2B平台上下单，进行补货。

　　Besides, jewelry purchasing period, taking diamond embedded ones as an example, is usually about 3 months. At the first purchase or a bulk buying of jewelry, retailers usually go to Shuibei Market in Shenzhen City for selecting on his own. A retailer would observe the jewelry by eyes before deciding whether to purchase or not, except there is a given style or size, when they submit their order on B2B platforms to supplement storage.

 

终端：渠道问鼎 新零售来助攻

Terminal: Channel Conquers to Be the King, Assisted by New Retailers.

　　问“渠”哪得清如许，为有源头活水来。对于黄金珠宝行业来说，以消费者为中心的渠道建设，就是这个活水的源头。

　　A channel so lively is nowhere but only when there is new resource. A new source for the gold and jewelry industry is nothing but a channel net centered with its customers.

　　互联网发展至今，消费者购物的渠道选择空前增多，不仅可以去实体店购买，还可以在网上商城购买，甚至可以随时随地在智能手机、平板电脑等移动终端上购买。而且，很多消费者在完成一次购买行为的时候，往往会采用不止一个渠道。比如在网上看到一款不错的首饰，但是不确定它到底合不合适，还要去实体店去试戴一下，然后决定在哪儿买。

　　There have never been more channels for customers to choose today with the well-developed internet and they can buy in real shops, online shops or even make an order with their smart phones or pads at any time. They usually use more than one channel for one purchase. For instance, when attracted by a piece of jewelry on the internet but hesitating if it is suitable or not, one would try it on in real shops before deciding which channel they prefer.

　　显然，未来任何一个独立被分隔开的渠道已经无法满足消费者的需求了。由此可见，要“经营好”消费者，首要的工作就是满足他们跨渠道的购物需求，零售企业要布局全渠道，通过全渠道的建设，打通消费者接触点，让消费者突破时间和空间的限制，享受便捷的购物体验。

　　Obviously, any separated channel couldn't satisfy its customers in the future. Such example proves that the top task to "properly market" one's customer is to satisfy their needs to purchase through multiple channels. That's why retailers need to maintain all channels to touch their customers and offer them convenient shopping experience, not being confined by time and space.

　　线上线下结合的新零售模式已经成为一种共识。在黄金珠宝行业里，这种结合已经越来越普遍。显而易见的是，很多知名品牌如周大福、周生生、谢瑞麟、六福、周六福、通灵等都进驻了淘宝、京东等电子商务平台；而且，以纯电商品牌起家的珂兰、佐卡伊等，也都不约而同加大对线下的投入力度，努力通过线下的体验，来进一步推动品牌的知名度和线上销售的业绩。

　　It has been generally agreed to start a new retailing mode of both online and offline combination. Such combination in the gold and jewelry industry is becoming increasingly popular. It's no news that some famous brands, represented by Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang, TSL, Lukfook, Zhouliufu and Tesiro, have started their e-stores on e-commerce platforms such as Taobao and JD.com. Besides, Kela, Zocai and other brands only starting from e-commerce have increased investment for offline market, expecting to promote the brands and online sales by offering offline customer experience.

 

 

　　（四） 营销变革：一切以赢得年轻人为目标

　　(IV) Marketing Transformation: All Is to Attract Yong Consumers.

　　2017年，中国黄金珠宝行业供给侧改革进入了关键阶段，伴随着互联网的普及、消费升级的出现、共享经济的兴起、消费人群的年轻化，珠宝企业都开始变着法地追求鼓动性和娱乐性，火急火燎地追赶新潮流。。2017年，珠宝行业营销模式的创新可谓层出不穷。从借助互联网媒介、跨界合作，到重塑情感价值、挖掘年轻消费力，珠宝企业不知疲倦地探索着。

　　The year 2017 witnessed the key stage of the supply-side reform of the gold and jewelry industry. As the internet becomes available everywhere, the consumption is upgrading and young consumers start to be main force, jewelry manufactures are required to make themselves entertaining, prompting and being hunger for fashion.Endless marketing modes came into stage in 2017 in jewelry industry. Manufacturers are sparing no energy to explore new channels. They use internet media or they cooperate with other industries. They reshape emotional value and explore young consumers. They never knew fatigue.

 

新媒体营销：“指尖营销”风暴来袭

New Media Marketing: "Fingertip Marketing" Storm's Coming.

　　在“互联网＋”和大数据的浪潮下，珠宝市场迎来了新一轮“洗牌”。新媒体营销一夜间成为珠宝行业进行市场拓展的新宠。越来越多的珠宝企业开始通过直播、微信、微博、自媒体等平台，与消费者展开双向互动。“指尖营销”的风暴迅速席卷了珠宝行业。其中，周大福作为最早打造微信营销的珠宝品牌之一，在微信公众号的运营上已较为成熟，且推送内容丰富多样，还通过留言与粉丝进行实时互动。直播也是珠宝行业近年来极为钟爱的传播方式。直播平台的迅速蹿红以及其强大的传播效应和推销力，让很多企业纷纷搭乘上了直播的列车，钻石小鸟就是其中之一。

　　A new circle of shuffling is ruling the jewelry market along with the tide of "Internet +" and big data. The new media marketing becomes the new darling of the jewelry industry to broaden market overnight. More and more jewelry manufactures start to interact with their customers with live show, Wechat, Weibo, self-media and other platforms. The storm of "Fingertip Marketing" has been fashionable rapidly in the jewelry industry. Among all brands, Chow Tai Fook, as one of the first Wechat marketing brands has won rich experience in managing its Wechat official account, who has offered various contents and done real-time interactivity with its fans. Live show is also a broadcasting channel preferred by the jewelry industry in recent years. The booming popularity of live show platform and its promoting effect attract lots of companies, among which Zbird is a representative.

　　2017年，钻石小鸟联手小咖秀、一直播打造了“爱的表白520”活动，在5月20日当天，邀请了部分参与活动、大胆告白的情侣来到其位于上海、广州的体验中心参与落地活动，帮助个性张扬的“90后”一代，用大家都看得到的方式来说出自己的爱意。

　　Zbird, cooperating with live platforms like Xiaokaxiu and Yizhibo, planned an activity "520 ? Speak out your love" on May 20, 2017. It invited some show attenders and love showers in Shanghai and Guangzhou to its experiencing center for activities. They helped the "90s" generation who have their own characters to express their love with everyone's witness.

 

情感营销：越接地气越“走心”

Emotional Marketing: The Closer We Are, the More I "Catch You". 

　　2017年，各行业可谓将“跨界”演绎得淋漓尽致，珠宝企业更是其中的佼佼者之一。从联合IP潮牌、美妆品牌等其他行业品牌，打造联名产品，到投资、打造专属电影、微电影、影视剧，再到邀请当红明星、网红代言，珠宝行业与各行业展开了各种类型的跨界合作。现今的珠宝行业，这种跨界的娱乐营销可谓红了半边天，各企业借助娱乐活动，将各种娱乐因素融入产品或服务中，抢占市场份额——通灵珠宝联合投资出品了《克拉恋人》《翡翠恋人》等多部都市偶像剧，同时邀请人气明星唐嫣代言……这些已成为通灵珠宝娱乐营销的标签，也是通灵珠宝区隔于其他品牌的资产，而中国珠宝则联手迪士尼、漫威、小黄鸭和大嘴猴等IP潮牌，把那些潮牌元素打造成一件件珠宝饰品，以满足消费者的潮牌情结，帮助他们彰显自我个性。

　　In 2017, transboundary performances have been booming incisively and vividly in all industries, especially in the jewelry industry. Transboundary cooperation has been made in all types between the jewelry industry and all walks, such as cooperating with co-named jewelry brands and makeup brands, investing and shooting brand films, mini films, TV series, as well as inviting even film stars and internet idols as brand representatives. Such transboundary cooperation couldn't be more popular in today's jewelry industry. Companies rob their share of market by hiding entertainment factors in their products or service -- Tesiro invested in metropolis TV plays such as Carat Lover and Jade Lover and invited the popular actress Miss Tang Yan as its representative... All these have been Teriso's entertainment marketing tags, telling that it is apart from its competitors. On the other side, China National Gold Group Gold Jewelry Co., Ltd has won Disney, Marvel, B.Duck and Paul Frank's cooperation to make fashion jewelry, to satisfy customers' emotion knot to fashion brands and express themselves.

 

娱乐营销：跨界合作多元化

Entertainment Marketing: Transboundary and Diversified Cooperation. 

　　近几年，珠宝品牌纷纷打出“情感牌”，增加与消费者之间的互动。可以说，在粉丝经济推动下，“情感价值”的新竞争时代已正式登台。现在，几乎所有的品牌都在忙着“情感营销”，各种体验店、概念店的开设，只为与消费者更贴近。

　　Jewelry brands have been marketing "emotionally", implementing more interacting activities with consumers. It's agreed that encouraged by the fan economy, a new competition of "emotional value" has ushered in its formal debut. Almost all brands have devoted to adopting "emotional marketing" with various "experiencing stores" and "ideology stores", just aiming to be closer to their consumers.

　　其实，真正“走心”的情感营销在于站在消费者的角度，深入挖掘消费者的需求，通过直击内心的内容，引发情感共鸣互动，从而让品牌形象潜移默化地深入人心。

　　While, actually, the really "Catch you" marketing means a transpositional consideration. Were you a consumer, what's your actual demands? The brand could be buried deep in consumers' minds by impressing advertisements that could bring emotional resonance.

　　像百泰囍福金饰发布的 2017 微电影《金色祝福》，通过讲述父亲与女儿之间因爱跨越隔阂的感人故事，把囍福结婚金饰打造成“珍藏记忆、储蓄情感、传承祝福”的温暖载体，传递出的温情和“和囍合福”的深层意义，以打动消费者的心；周生生则针对情人节与春节设计情感主题——“爱·回家”，因为对出门在外的情侣和夫妻来说，春节回谁家总是一个两难的选题，家庭生活并不适合讲道理，因此周生生为顾客创造了一个表达情感的机会，“因为我爱你，所以我邀请你跟我一起回家。”如此贴近人心。

　　A good example is the mini film named A Gold Blessing released by Xifu, Batar in 2017. The film tells a moving story between a father and his daughter striding over the gap between them because of love. It makes the wedding gold jewelry of Xifu a warm carrier which cherishes memories, stores love and passes blessings, trying to touch consumers. While Chow Sang Sang choses "Love Is Back Home" as its emotion theme, a suitable one for Valentine's Day and Lunar New Year. It has been a dilemma for those couples and lovers living out of their hometown to decide whose parents to be visited during Lunar New Year. Considering that it's not always useful for couples to reason, Chow Sang Sang offers a chance to express their love --"Because I love you, you are the only to be invited to my home" -- which is just so touched.

 

定制营销：个性主张 定义新潮流

Customized Marketing: Advocate Personality and Define New Trend.

　　这两年，在珠宝圈，“私人定制”也开始悄悄火爆。这种无限细分、精准定位、满足顾客追求个性化需求、打造专属服务的营销模式已成为一众品牌的主营模式之一。

　　In recent years, "personal customization" has been gradually popular in the jewelry industry. The marketing mode featured by subdividing infinitely, positioning accurately, meeting personalized demands of clients and building up exclusive service has become one of the main marketing modes of many brands.

　　尤其在婚嫁领域，私人订制格外受欢迎。像是 Blove 婚戒定制中心，用心把一个个爱情故事打造成一枚枚拥有专属符号和个性印记的婚戒，专属定制婚戒承载着独属于二人的美好回忆；而 Darry Ring，因“男士一生只能定制一枚”的浪漫规定，成为无数新人的钻戒首选。

　　Particularly in marriage field, personal customization is especially welcomed. For example, the Blove Wedding Ring Customization Center sincerely infuses each love story into each wedding ring with exclusive symbol and personalized mark. An exclusive wedding ring bears the sweet memory of the couple; Darry Ring has become the first choice for innumerous new couples because of its romantic provision of "One man can only customize one ring all his life".

　　另外，希望借助新鲜感、小众感与陌生感来彰显个性的心态，促使越来越多的消费者更愿意与原本生活圈内并不熟悉的品牌建立新的联结，那些被认为个性独特、看似默默无闻的新锐品牌与这种心态不谋而合。

　　In addition, the mental state of presenting the personality by a feeling of freshness, minority and strangeness promotes more consumers to set up the new relationship with unfamiliar brands in their original life circle, and new brands that seem unique but unknown to the public happen to coincide with such mental state.

 

“赢得年轻人的心”乃王道

"Grasping young consumers" drives to success.

　　在 2017 年，从各种让我们眼花缭乱的新鲜营销模式中不难发现，这一年的珠宝行业出现了一个有趣的变化，即越来越多的产品设计和主题活动，不再从消费需求出发，而是选择从年轻人感兴趣的话题入手，与年轻消费者产生共鸣。可见，对于珠宝企业来说，抓住年轻人可谓王道。

　　In 2017, it is not difficult to discover among dazzling fresh marketing modes that, a funny change has happened in the jewelry industry, i.e., an increasing number of product designs and topic activities start from the interested topics of young people instead of the consumption demand to trigger the resonance with young consumers. For jewelry enterprises, visibly, attacking young peoples' attention is the top priority.

　　现在，“90 后”“00 后”已经被推上历史的主舞台，基于年轻人玩得开、有态度、爱分享的天然属性，越来越多的珠宝品牌把营销和年轻一代紧密挂钩。

　　At present, "post-90s" and "post-00s" have been leading roles on the historical stage. Considering such natural attributes of playing freely, having personalized attitude and loving to share, more jewelry brands relate the marketing to the younger generation closely.

　　如何更好地把握年轻一代的消费需求？首先要从读懂年轻人的文化开始。不管是卖萌营销、饥渴营销，还是丧营销、佛系营销，珠宝企业的出发点都是跟年轻人碰撞出火花。当企业和品牌的产品和服务获得年轻人的认可，那么一座竞争者难以攻破的品牌壁垒就已形成。

　　How to master the consumption demand of the younger generation better? The first step is to understand young people's culture. Regardless of cute-acting marketing and hunger marketing, or decadent marketing and Buddhist-style marketing, the first purpose of jewelry enterprises is to generate sparks together with young people and attract them. When the product and service of enterprises and brands obtain the recognition of young people, a brand barrier difficult to break for competitors has been formed.

　　可以说，珠宝行业现在正处在十字路口，新的消费主力和消费趋势将会让产业发生变革，未来，有的品牌可能会遭遇滑铁卢，也有的品牌可能快速崛起，然而胜利终归会属于勇于面对未来变革的人。就像莎翁说的“明智的人决不坐下来为失败而哀号，他们一定乐观地寻找办法来加以挽救”。

　　It is agreed that the jewelry industry is at a crossroad where new consumption force and trend will bring transformation to this industry. In the future, some brands may suffer a total failure and some others may rise rapidly. However, the victory will finally belong to people who are brave to face the coming transformation. As Shakespeare said, "A wise man will not sit down and cry for the failure, they must be looking for ways to save them with optimism."

 

　　（五） 资本并购：内外兼收并蓄

　　(V) Capital M&A: Collect Capital from Both inside and outside.

　　2017年，国内珠宝圈的收（并）购热继续升温，上至行业，下至企业，资本介入带来的巨大影响，愈发引人瞩目。

　　In 2017, the purchase (merger) of the jewelry industry in China is continuously attracting eyesight from the whole industry to enterprises. The involvement of capital brings great impact and attracts more attention.

　　回顾2017年珠宝圈内的多起收（并）购事件，A股珠宝上市公司的身影极为活跃：刚泰集团、金一文化、爱迪尔、通灵珠宝四家上市公司扛起“产业整合者”大旗，成为2017年度资本并购潮的主要“玩家”。

　　When looking back on the purchase (merger) events of the jewelry industry in 2017, we find that the A-share listed jewelry companies were extremely active; four listed companies, namely Gangtai Group, Kingee Culture, Ideal and Tesiro lifted up the flag of "industrial integrator", becoming main "players" of the capital merger and acquisition in 2017.

　　2017年金一文化、通灵珠宝、刚泰集团、爱迪尔等珠宝上市公司的几起收购，凸显了当前国内珠宝行业产业并购的两大方向。第一是收购国际品牌。刚泰控股收购 Buccellati，通灵珠宝收购 Leysen，都是通过跨国收购国外品牌，迅速实现品牌形 象 提 升。 像 通 灵 珠 宝 收 购 Leysen 后， 目前 Leysen1855 的产品、设计正被陆续引入通灵珠宝所有旗下店面，通灵珠宝品牌已经升级为 Leysen1855 莱绅通灵。而刚泰集团收购Buccellati，一举获得了百年历史的国际高端奢侈品牌。

　　Multiple purchases of listed companies including Kingee Culture, Tesiro, Gangtai Group and Ideal in 2017 highlight two major directions of domestic jewelry industry at present. The first is purchasing international brands. Gangtai Group purchased Buccellati and Tesiro purchased Leysen. Both of them improved their brand images by purchasing foreign brands. For example, after Tesiro purchases Leysen, products and design of Leysen1855 are consecutively introduced into all Tesiro stores and the Tesiro brand has been upgraded to Leysen1855 Leysen Tesiro. In the meantime, Gangtai Group purchased Buccellati, the international high-end luxury brand with over one hundred years' history.

　　与国际收购平行的另一个方向，则是在行业内展开并购，通过企业间的资源整合实现渠道规模扩充。金一文化、爱迪尔均是如此。通过行业内的收购，来促进公司业务实现协同效应。在这种模式下，收购者迅速扩大了公司现有业务规模，扩展公司经营地域，这对提高公司的市场占有率及品牌竞争力有着快速的提升作用。

　　The other direction in parallel with international purchase is to carry out merger and acquisition within the industry and to realize the expansion of channels and scales through the integration of resources among enterprises. Kingee Culture and Idea belong to this type. They promote the synergistic effect of their businesses through intra-industrial acquisition. Under this mode, the acquirer rapidly expands its existing businesses scale and operating region, which improves the company's market share and brand competition rapidly.

　　国内珠宝市场并购如火如荼，也从侧面反映出了当下珠宝市场洗牌格局的激烈程度。

　　The vigorous acquisition within the domestic jewelry market also reflects the intense re-shuffling situation of the jewelry market at present.

　　事实上，从数据上看，相比 2016 年，2017 年珠宝企业的收购金额、收购级别都有较大的增长，显示了企业的整合诉求的积极一面。

　　In fact, the data show that, compared with 2016, the acquisition amount and level of jewelry enterprises increased significantly in 2017, claiming the positive aspect of enterprises' integration appealing.

　　事实上，随着近两年并不景气的行业环境，规模较小的区域性珠宝企业，受限于发展瓶颈，已经出现了较为强烈被整合意愿，他们越来越倾向于被上市公司收购整合，通过另一种方式踏入资本市场或者实现变现。另一方面，对于上市公司来说，其独特的资本平台，也让他们有能力扮演产业整合者的角色，通过主动并购，快速补足企业自身的短板，在珠宝行业的竞争中抓住主动权，同时，也由此实现自身的市值管理。

　　In fact, in recent two years, the development bottleneck in the depressive industrial environment has limited some regional jewelry enterprises of smaller scales, which have expressed a strong will to be integrated. They have increasingly wished to be acquired by and integrated into listed companies and to set the foot in the capital market or realize a transformation in another manner. On the other hand, the unique capital platform of listed companies enables them to play the role of integrator in the industry. They quickly complement their own shortcomings by active merger and acquisition, seize the initiative in the competition in jewelry industry and, in the meanwhile, achieve the management of their own market value.

　　从这个角度而言，可以预见的是，未来珠宝行业的收购将会更加频繁，并且有望加速。未来的整合有望升级不过，尽管未来珠宝行业内的收购前景明朗，但收购方式则有望升级。一方面，伴随着证监会更严格与密集的监管举措，包括国内珠宝上市公司在内的资本买家们面临着更严苛的收购约束，未来的收购运作必然不再那么容易。另一方面，目前，国内珠宝类 A 股上市公司数量只有 10 家。作为“稀缺资源”，这些“产业整合者”的收购策略也在调整。

　　From this perspective, it can be predicted that the acquisition of jewelry industry will become more frequent and more rapid in the future. The future integration may be upgraded. Although the prospect of acquisition in the jewelry industry is bright, the acquisition manner is expected to be upgraded. On the one hand, as increasing strict and intensive supervision measures are taken by China Securities Regulatory Commission, all capital buyers, including domestic listed companies, are facing more rigorous restrictions on acquisition and the future acquisition will no longer be so easy. On the other hand, there are only 10 A-share listed jewelry companies in China now. As "rare resources", these "industrial integrators" are also adjusting their acquisition strategies.

　　不管如何，中国黄金珠宝市场目前仍然是一个集中度较低的市场，整合空间巨大。在资本的撬动下，行业洗牌与整合的大势将不可避免。

　　Anyway, Chinese gold and jewelry market remains a low-concentration market at present and has a large space for integration. Levered by capital, the shuffling and integration trends of the industry are unavoidable.
