InspiredSilver.com Prepares for 2005 Holiday Shopping Rush; Introduces New Jewelry for the Season; Online Holiday Shopping Projected to Triple in 2005; Jewelry Expected to Comprise 15 Percent of Consumer Online Purchases

LOS ANGELES --(Business Wire)-- Dec. 1, 2005 -- InspiredSilver.com, the premier online marketplace for up-to-the-minute styles of the most elegant trend and celebrity-inspired jewelry, announced today it is preparing for the rush of holiday shoppers expected in the coming weeks.


Like other leading online retailers, such as Blue Nile and eBags, InspiredSilver.com has experienced a significant surge of visitors recently -- with traffic more than doubling on "Black Monday" (the Monday following Thanksgiving), which is often cited as the kick-off of the online holiday shopping season.

"Our customers tell us they love shopping our site for the styles celebrities make famous, because we make them affordable," said David Strager, CEO of InspiredSilver.com. "Our jewelry is very high quality, there are no crowds and everything's located in one place. It's easy, one-stop holiday shopping."

This season, InspiredSilver.com will introduce several new items -- including the Black and White cocktail ring, a gorgeous pave-set black and white cubic zirconia (CZ); and the Pearl Dangle Square deco-inspired necklace, which features three beautiful pearlesque stones that hang delicately from a CZ studded square. Most all pieces are under $50.00 and can be found at www.inspiredsilver.com or ordered by calling 1-866-547-4583.

Also important for the holiday season: getting items shipped on time. Because InspiredSilver.com has such a wide selection of accessories -- up to 45,000 pieces at a time -- almost everything is guaranteed in stock.

"We feel confident our selection is the most varied and up-to-date when compared to any other retailer -- online or in a store," Strager said.

Online Holiday Shopping Trends

Forrester Research recently predicted that online holiday spending will triple in 2005 -- up from the $23.2 billion U.S. shoppers spent during the 2004 holiday season, excluding travel. This reflects a 25 percent increase spent online during the same timeframe in 2003. During the 2004 holiday shopping season, jewelry was cited -- by far -- as the fastest growing online sales category -- up 113 percent to $1.9 billion during the season compared to the $888 million spent in 2003, according to the 2004 Holiday eSpending Report from Goldman, Sachs & Co., Harris Interactive and Nielsen/NetRatings.
