The growth rate of the jewelry industry tends to be stable, the industry competition is relatively scattered, the product itself between brands is not differentiated, and the targets with brand characteristics are scarce: since 2015, the growth rate of China's diamond market tends to be stable, and a stable brand competition pattern has been formed in the industry, such as HW, Tiffany and Cartier, which locate the high-end luxury line, Zhou Dafu, Lao Feng Xiang Co.Ltd(600612) and Chow Tai Seng Jewellery Company Limited(002867) , the popular gold jewelry brands facing the whole country, Dr, Ido and other diamond ring brands focusing on the wedding needs of young people, as well as regional jewelry brands Zhejiang Ming Jewelry Co.Ltd(002574) , Mclon Jewellery Co.Ltd(300945) , etc. The differentiation of products between brands is not large.

Brand culture: the original purchase rule of "only one person for a lifetime" highlights the "unique" characteristics, forms a unique brand culture barrier and is difficult to copy. Dr brand originally created the purchase rule of "men can only customize one in their life", which restricts the purchase qualification by binding ID card, and integrates the brand with the emotional connotation of "life, only, true love" to form an effective separation from competitive products. The exclusive contract meets people's desire for security in the marriage and love relationship. A Dr diamond ring represents that boys have not bought for other girls in the past and will not buy for other girls in the future. At the same time, with Dr continuously strengthening its brand concept over the years and taking the lead in seizing consumer cognition, it is difficult to be copied and replaced, and the brand cultural barrier has a certain sustainability.
