Embracing the Self-Gifting Customer
Here’s why you should embrace the self-gifting customer, and how Platinum Born is your answer to keeping them satisfied.

Until recently, jewelry has been thought of as a gift women receive rather than something they self-purchase. That’s changing rapidly as more and more women are rewarding themselves for personal milestones and achievements with jewelry.
In a recent study conducted by market research firm MVI, 35% of millennial female respondents indicated that they are most likely to purchase a luxury goods item for themselves to ensure that they are getting exactly what they want, and 25% of respondents buy gifts for themselves to celebrate a private milestone, such as a birthday, graduation, promotion and more.

Jewelry sales professionals now have an ever-growing opportunity to evolve their interactions with customers and change the dialogue.
Newly launched jewelry brand Platinum Born satisfies this change in customer purchasing behaviors by offering necklaces and earrings for the modern, self-gifting woman.
Platinum Born jewelry features luminous sparkle, versatile style and is offered exclusively in platinum – a metal as strong and rare as she is.
Unlike many jewelry brands, Platinum Born’s products do not include diamonds in their designs, but rather its styles feature platinum jewelry components that are designed in a way to capture the light of the women who wear it and sparkle just like diamonds.
Platinum is a strong, rare and durable metal enhancing the brilliance of the materials it embraces. When a Platinum Born customer adorns herself with a gift of jewelry, her brilliance and confidence is enhanced.
