Britten,

    The first place to check would be The Jewelers Circular Keystone at
    www.jckgroup.com 

    They do a yearly census for the Jewelry Industry.  I am not sure
    they will cover the exact target you are looking to cover but it is
    information you will most likely find useful. 

    To do a very specific research report for the information  you are
    looking to cover, you may want to contact a university in your area.
    Get in touch with a professors that teaches  Business and Marketing.
    They may be willing to do a class project that is specific to what
    you want.  If not they may be willing to have some of the students
    contact. You might be able to hire the students to do the research
    at a far lower cost than a Market Research company. 

Good Luck
