Signet Group plc Company Profile
Signet is starting to shine again. After a decade of ups and downs, the world's largest jewelry retailer seems to have regained its sparkle on both sides of the Atlantic. Running rings around its smaller competitors, Signet is the largest UK jewelry retailer, with more than 560 stores under the H. Samuel and Ernest Jones banners. Signet sells gold, silver, diamond, and gemstone jewelry, watches, collectibles, and gifts. Some stores sell china and crystal. Signet Group's US subsidiary Sterling Jewelers is #1 in the US (ahead of Zale) with about 1,400 stores, including 895 mostly mall-based shops under the Kay Jewelers name, the off-mall Jared format (about 155 shops), and other stores under regional banners.
