(Press Release) MUMBAI – In its effort to promote the Indian gems and jewelry industry, the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council in association with Diamond Dealer Club is organising the fifth India Diamond Week for Aug. 22-25, 2016, at the Diamond Dealers Club, 580 5th Ave., New York.

The purpose of the event is to create an annual trading platform for the Indian Diamantaires in the U.S. to fortify the business relationship with leading American diamond traders.

As in previous years, a networking evening will be organised for further exploring business ideas between the event participants.

“Diamond Week is one of the major meeting point for both Indian and American diamond manufacturers,” said GJEPC Chairman Praveenshankar Pandya. The event “fosters the interests of the diamond traders, thereby bringing together the largest diamond manufacturer and the largest diamond and diamond jewelry consuming nation under one roof.”

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
