The new LMS features a newly overhauled and interactive Diamond Course featuring updated and expanded course content in addition to a streamlined learning platform.

The Diamond Course brings learning to life for the front-line sales associate. The e-learning course is designed to help students apply newly learned information quickly and efficiently. As knowledge is presented, the course describes how to use it in sales and everyday store operations. The course may be taken at the student’s own pace.

The LMS also hosts the courses Beginning Jewelry Sales, Advanced Jewelry Sales, and Colored Gemstones.

The courses can now be accessed through a revamped website at DCAlearning.org. All courses are available for $125 per course for DCA members and $200 per course for non-DCA members.

DCA members have access to the Diamond, Colored Gemstone and Jewelry Sales courses for their associates at discounted rates, beautifully embossed plaques, decals, hanging signs, and lapel pins. These invaluable sales tools help build a jeweler’s professionalism, raise his/her standards of merchandising and advertising, and symbolize affiliation with an organization of the highest ethical and educational standards.

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.”
