Yes, it’s the wedding industry, and today, I'll explore how you can dive into it. In the vast world of jewelry, clear lines are drawn: there are those who specialize in wedding jewelry and those who don’t. It’s rare for a brand to excel in both areas.

And in our GOLD MINE segment, I'm diving deep into the often overlooked aspect of effective marketing—not always about increasing spend for greater returns but finding ways to cut costs and capitalize on cost-saving opportunities.
