Business Plan Online Store

Where can I find a market analysis of the jewelry business??
I am trying to find a current and CORRECT market analysis of the jewelry business. I am starting an online jewelry store and this information will be part of the business plan, which I am writing myself.
I have tried local college libraries, pubic libraries, and am now trying the Internet but am only finding ads for custom software clamiing to do this for me, which I am not interested in purchasing or using.
Anyone have any advice on where I can get this information? Thank you!
Most of the market analysis for the jewelry business are for sale, and often at a steep price:
