See how much your peers are making.

As a hard-working jeweler, have you ever wondered how your personal earnings stack up to those of your peers?

Of course you have! After all, you’re only human.

So for INSTORE’s 2017 Big Survey, we asked: “How much did you earn last year from being a jewelry-store owner (including salary and share of profit)?”

As you can see in the chart below, $100,000 was the most frequently cited figure.

That was below the average of $110,971, but higher than the median of $90,000.
