The event was attended by leaders of the FGI "Assay Chamber of Russia", representatives of the federal executive bodies, the jewelry enterprises and industry associations, communication companies, courier companies and other market participants.
During the meeting they discussed the obstacles to the development of jewelry online sales, the risks faced by manufacturers, sellers and buyers in the process of distance selling jewelry, as well as ways to minimize such risks.
"According to experts, the share of online sales in Russia currently accounts for 2-3% of the total volume of retail trade in jewels, while in other countries the figure is several times higher. "ALROSA" considers it important to the development of e-commerce jewelry because it will naturally boost demand for rough diamonds. Great importance will be the removal of the legislative restrictions on trade in jewels, ordered from online stores. In my opinion, it is necessary to carefully study the positive experience of this trade in China. At the same time, we support the measures aimed at combating counterfeit jewelery and restriction of the activities of unscrupulous online retailers in this area », ─ commented on the meeting of the Vice-President of ALROSA Yuri Okoemov.
