(PRESS RELEASE) MEQUON, WI — When you take in a customer’s diamond for repair, who is protecting you against claims of diamond swapping? How do you protect yourself from criminals who try to switch diamonds by returning a diamond with much less value? The low-cost DiamondEye solves both of these problems.

Many consumers fear bringing their diamonds in for repair or cleaning. The fear is often unfounded but a quick Google search reinforces that fear for consumers. When your customer picks up a repair, how do you quickly prove to them that you are returning the same diamond? Retail jewelers need a new, quick and easy way to give the consumer confidence that they are receiving the same diamond.

DiamondEye also protects the jeweler from criminals trying to switch diamonds. When a diamond is returned, girdle engravings can be forged. Lab grown or simulants can be difficult to detect. Within minutes, DiamondEye verifies it is the diamond you sold to them.

DiamondEye (retailer.diamondeye.app) is a new way to protect and verify diamonds using an iPad or iPhone. For jewelers, it is low cost and easy to use.

DiamondEye can also be profit center for jewelry stores. Jewelers can sell a DiamondEye kit to anyone who owns a diamond. After registering their diamond on the SkyVault database, your customer will have the ability to verify their diamond and check for loose prongs at any time.

Randall Wagner, CEO of GemEx Systems says “We have processed over 5 million diamonds through our IdentiView technology, which is an integral part of GemEx Light Performance. Very similar to facial recognition system, DiamondEye now brings IdentiView technology to anyone with an iPhone or iPad.”

DiamondEye is an exciting new technology to protect and verify diamonds for jewelers and consumers. More information: retailer.diamondeye.app or contact us at info@gemex.com

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.”
