(The US accounts for about 70% of sales.) With specialty superstores gaining market share, the company is opening larger, freestanding jewelry stores called Jared in the US. There are about 25 Jared stores. Signet is the largest jewelry retailer in the UK with 600-plus stores under the H. Samuel, Ernest Jones, and Leslie Davis banners.
