(PRESS RELEASE) Rubies in Greenland in the Spotlight: Yes, that’s right, we are talking about rubies mined in the southwest of this arctic island in a region called Aappaluttoq (meaning “Red” in Greenlandic) around 150 km from Nuuk, the capital. These rubies are responsibly extracted, adhering to the strictest human rights, labour, environmental, mining and product disclosure practices throughout each step of the supply chain. For this reason, the mine has been recognized as the newest source of responsible rubies in the world.

FACET, a Spanish company, is considered one of the champions of sustainability in this sector and a significant driving force in responsible manufacturing. Together with Tracemark and Greenland Ruby, FACET is launching a collection of the most sustainable classic jewelry in the world with the oldest rubies to date (nearly 3 billion years old according to expert geological studies).

FACET also contributes to the PinkPolarBear Foundation, an independent non-profit created by Greenland Ruby and their partners to support all aspects of international polar research. The foundation is especially concerned with the effects of climate change on the environment, stimulating education, understanding the needs, and supporting the inhabitants of Greenland, both animal and human who are affected by the accompanying cultural changes.

“Once again, FACET takes a step forward towards a sustainable and responsible industry with a new alliance with Tracemark and Greenland Ruby. This collaboration symbolises our commitment to changing the industry towards one that is more transparent, responsible, and innovative.” — José Miguel Serret, CEO de FACET.

FIRE UNDER ICE Collection
The exclusive 27-piece collection ‘FIRE UNDER ICE’ is made up of solitaire rings, pendants and earrings with diamonds and Greenlandic Rubies as the centre stones of these pieces – completely traceable and with a Certificate of Origin – with recycled traceable gold with a CoC certificate (issued by RJC).

Thanks to the technology Tracemark offers, the end consumer can scan their QR code and obtain fully audited information about every step in their jewels and components’ journey, from extraction to ownership.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
