(PRESS RELEASE) How do you instill confidence in a customer who has already browsed “discount” diamonds online? Are you able to cut through their uncertainty and skepticism, even if they haven’t said a word to you about it?

When you understand the doubts and fears that customers bring into the store, you can craft your presentation to address and disprove each one. The GN Diamond platform enables independent jewelers to seamlessly deliver precisely this kind of presentation by using an engaging online portal to showcase up to $70 million in loose diamond inventory.

Access Our Wholesale Loose Diamond Inventory

GN Diamond’s Diamond Hunt is an in-store selling tool that mimics what consumers see online, with the added value of:

A 360-degree video of the diamond and its natural birthmarks. This fully transparent view is far better than the types of still images typically shown online.
The diamond’s Sarine score — an objective, third-party clarity grade, which can be used to explain why one SI2 is better than another.
GIA, AGS, and EGL-USA certification for all diamonds.

Using embeddable links for your website and a sales presentation iPad app, you can guide the client through a web-based educational experience right in-store. They will be delighted to see and understand the importance of light performance and more.

Independent jewelers across the country have already begun using Diamond Hunt to captivate customers without resorting to pushy sales tactics. They are also leveraging our inventory of over 5000 exceptional, certified diamonds — worth roughly $70 million at wholesale cost — on their own website with their mark-ups and store’s logo.

Gain an Exciting In-Store Selling Tool

This inventory and its value-added light performance grading is not found on any ecommerce site because GN Diamond never sells to the public or online-only businesses. That’s why Diamond Hunt gives independent jewelers such a powerful in-store advantage over online retailers.

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
