(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK — Facets of Fire Diamonds are not only reaching new heights but also reaching jewelry stores across the nation. Retailers cannot resist getting their hands on the most significant innovation in diamond cutting in 100 years.
The new Facets of Fire video series, “Love is Better in Color: Stories from Facets of Fire Retailers,” showcases testimonials from all over the country about the diamond’s irresistible fire. It highlights industry leaders who carry the brand and their customers’ stories. Facets of Fire believes it is important to listen to their retailers’ voices and explore what makes Facets of Fire Diamonds successful in their stores.
The first video features Cathy Calhoun, the owner of Calhoun Jewelers and past president of AGS. In her testimonial, this Shipley Award Winner says, “When my customers come into my store, and they see Facets of Fire for the first time, they always react the same. Wow… I’ve never seen anything like it. How can a diamond do this?!” That’s because seeing is truly believing. With Facets of Fire diamonds, you don’t need to use any special viewing device to observe the radiant burst of color. Calhoun’s customers have even been stopped by strangers who ask where this beautiful burst of color comes from.
Glenn Markman, Facets of Fire president and CEO, said, “Cathy has been a leader in the jewelry industry for years, and we’re incredibly honored that she has so many good things to say about Facets of Fire.” Markman looks forward to interviewing other industry leaders throughout the year.

Ready to Relocate? Wilkerson Makes Your Move Seamless
When Brockhaus Jewelry decided to leave their longtime West Main Street storefront for a standalone building elsewhere in Norman, Oklahoma, owners John Brockhaus and Brad Shipman faced a familiar challenge: how to efficiently reduce inventory before the big move. Their solution? Partnering with liquidation specialists Wilkerson for a second time.
"We'd already experienced Wilkerson's professionalism during a previous sale," Shipman recalls. "But their approach to our relocation event truly impressed us. They strategically prioritized our existing pieces while tactfully introducing complementary merchandise as inventory levels decreased." The carefully orchestrated sale didn't just meet targets—it shattered them.
Asked if they'd endorse Wilkerson to industry colleagues planning similar transitions—whether relocating, retiring, or refreshing their space—both partners were emphatic in their approval. "The entire process was remarkably straightforward," Shipman notes. "Wilkerson delivered a well-structured program, paired us with a knowledgeable advisor, and managed every detail flawlessly from concept to completion."
