    I am looking for statistics and related "good" news on our industry
    for my business plan.  I have hit up the Census gov site and did a
    search on these boards to get some more.  I was trying to find some
    "white pages" with some more information on types of jewelry stores.
    Like some that specialize in custom and any type of trends favoring
    this type of business model as the primary focus, along with case
    sales, repairs, appraisals, casting wholesale, etc. I guess I am
    really looking to see if there is a demand for a smaller more focus
    type business model vs. all of the chain stores. 

Thanks! 
Britten
