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.

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.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
