NEW YORK – LovePendants, the engraved gemstone division of Color Story, has announced a new partner affiliate program that will allow retailers to cater to millennials with more personalized options.

Launched by fine jewelry veteran Robert Leser, LovePendants’ website allows customers to personalize their jewelry by engraving topaz, amethyst, green quartz or citrine with a symbol, letter or word that holds special significance. Gemstones are then set in the customer’s metal choice of vermeil, silver or 14k gold and turned into a necklace, bracelet or charm. The LovePendants Affiliate Program will allow retailers to offer their customers this same ability through their own website.

Using LovePendant’s proprietary technology, retail affiliate partners launch the LovePendants design portal within their own website, allowing in-store or online customers to design their own LovePendants jewelry. Because the design portal appears within the retailer’s own website, affiliate partners are able to maintain their own distinct branding. Once the design process is complete and the product ordered, LovePendants will then directly ship the finished product to the customer while the retailer shares the profit.

“Millennial shoppers are proving to be a group that want a sense of collaboration and customization in the things they buy,” says Leser. “Our new affiliate program offers retailers the ability to meet millennial 21st century demands by offering them a new, 21st century way of selling to them on their terms. By letting millennials personalize their LovePendants options, retailers show these new era customers they understand what’s most important to them when selecting jewelry.”

The LovePendants Affiliate Program offers exclusivity within local markets on a first-come, first-served basis. For customers who discover LovePendants through a specific retail partner but orders directly from the LovePendant’s website, that retailer will still earn profits if the order is placed within their zip code area.

For more information on participating in this affiliate program, contact LovePendants at (212) 832-8013 or at robert@lovependants.com.

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.”
