- Gross margin improved 360 basis points sequentially to 57.9%, supported by dynamic pricing, product design, procurement efficiencies, and other measures that helped offset elevated metal costs and tariffs.
- Fine jewelry bookings increased approximately 32% year over year, with bookings above the $500 price point up more than 40%; showroom walk-in bookings grew 47%, and the Beverly Hills flagship outperformed its prior location.
- Management raised full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to $13 million-$15 million and expects second-half gross margin in the mid-to-high 50% range, while maintaining a strong balance sheet with approximately $75 million in cash and no debt.
- Total orders declined 2% year over year, reflecting softness at lower price points, and Q3 sales are expected to be approximately flat year over year due partly to a difficult comparison with last year’s tariff-driven purchase acceleration.
