What do you call a market where revenue is rising, while unit sales are falling?

This happens when consumers buy for more, sometimes much more. We call it Jewelry Premiumization.

January's retail performance remained strong, with revenue up 9% year-on-year, according to Tenoris. The data shows we are still seeing a “value over volume” trend: total sales are rising because consumers are buying more expensive items, even though they are purchasing fewer pieces overall.

Diamond jewelry saw a slight increase in value, but it was gold that stood out. Gold jewelry revenue soared by nearly 20%, supported by consumers' increased purchases of higher price point items, while lower price points suffer from declining demand.
