Stuller and AGTA Partner to Clearly Identify Responsibly Sourced Colored Gemstones

(PRESS RELEASE) LAFAYETTE, LA — Stuller has partnered with the American Gem Trade Association (AGTA) to make AGTA-sourced colored gemstones easier to identify on Stuller.com. Built on shared values, the partnership supports education, fair business practices, and integrity across the colored gemstone industry.

Through this collaboration, AGTA-sourced gemstones are now clearly badged on Stuller.com, giving jewelers a simple way to identify suppliers who meet AGTA’s established standards and increasing visibility for AGTA member vendors committed to fair and transparent trade practices.

“We’re always looking for ways to add value to the shopping experience,” says Alissa Talbot, executive director of diamonds & gemstones at Stuller. “By providing visibility to gemstones sourced from AGTA member vendors, we’re giving our customers an added layer of transparency and trust when they purchase.”

“When you choose AGTA gemstones through Stuller, you choose more than beauty. You choose integrity,” said Bruce Bridges, president of the AGTA board of directors. “Each gem comes from vendors committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and the principles of fair business. The AGTA logo is a mark of trust, allowing customers to buy with confidence and pass that confidence on with every creation.”

“Stuller’s customers can shop for AGTA gemstones knowing they come from AGTA vendors that follow the strictest code of ethics and principles of fair business practice in any industry,” says John W. Ford Sr., CEO of AGTA. “The AGTA logo means you can buy with confidence so you can sell to your customers with confidence.”

AGTA-sourced gemstones are available now at Stuller.com/AGTA.

Honoring a Legacy: How Smith & Son Jewelers Exceeded Every Goal With Wilkerson

When Andrew Smith decided to close the Springfield, Massachusetts location of Smith & Son Jewelers, the decision came down to family. His father was retiring after 72 years in the business, and Andrew wanted to spend more time with his children and soon-to-arrive grandchildren. For this fourth-generation jeweler whose great-grandfather founded the company in 1918, closing the 107-year-old Springfield location required the right partner. Smith chose Wilkerson, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. "Everything they told me was 100% true," Smith says. "The ease and use of all their tools was wonderful." The consultants' knowledge and expertise proved invaluable. Smith and his father set their own financial goal, but Wilkerson proposed three more ambitious targets. "We thought we would never make it," Smith explains. "We were dead wrong. We hit our first goal, second goal and third goal. It was amazing." Smith's recommendation is emphatic: "I would never be able to do what they did by myself."
