New York--We've all spent months hearing grim economic news, but as the holidays approach, how will prospective jewelry buyers respond?

In National Jeweler's exclusive holiday jewelry spending survey, consumers reveal their key concerns and share details on holiday spending plans that reflect a sense of caution.

The good news is that jewelry, especially gold jewelry, remains on shopping lists, and those in the highest income brackets actually plan to spend more this year.
