17,512 Diamonds on a Watch: Meet the Guinness Record Holder
The record for most diamonds set on a watch -- 17,524 diamonds -- now belongs to Renani Jewels (India).

Renani Jewels (India) has broken the dazzling Guinness World Records title for the most diamonds set on a watch.

The watch, named Srinkia, has 17,512 white diamonds and 12 black diamonds. Srinkia means flower, and the timepiece draws inspiration from Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and good fortunes. (Scroll down to see video of the watch.)

The record was verified in Meerut, India, in late December. The diamonds were authenticated by an International Gemological Institute Lab certificate to determine that actual diamonds were used, according to a post on the Guinness website.

In accordance with Guinness guidelines, the diamond had to be sourced from producers that are certified by the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme.

The previous record was set by Aaron Shum Jewelry Ltd. (Hong Kong) with 15,858 diamonds in December 2018.

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless

When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time. "We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them. Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
