Get-Diamonds Reports Significant Growth in Users in 2022

(PRESS RELEASE) ANTWERP — Get-Diamonds, the diamond trading platform of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses (WFDB) and the world’s only non-profit e-commerce site, reported a significant increase in the number of registered and active users on the site during the first seven months of this year.

According to Google Analytics, during January to July 2022 Get-Diamonds showed a 34% rise in new users and a total increase of 27% in users, compared to the previous seven months. The number of active users during the first seven months of 2022, increased by 41 percent.

Get-Diamonds is the world’s largest B2B online platform for listing and searching for polished diamonds. It lists over 1.7 million diamonds from 4,700 vendors, with a total value of over $6.7 billion.

Get-Diamonds was founded in April 2020 by the WFDB to serve the diamond and jewelry industry as a non-profit organization. Its motto “By the industry, For the industry,” reflects this goal. Profits generated by the site are to be invested in projects that benefit the industry, including generic diamond marketing.

The platform is backed by tech company Lucy Platforms, whose proprietary AI-based technology enables Get to create innovative unique digital tools especially suited to the needs of the diamond community.

Get-Diamonds Executive Director Eyal Shirazy said, “We are extremely encouraged by the growth in users of Get-Diamonds during the year up till now. The numbers clearly demonstrate that Get-Diamonds’ new innovative tools, such as the data-driven online polished tenders and the virtual try-on tool Virtual Hand are attracting additional traffic, and are creating value for the diamond community. We are continuing to pioneer new technologies to serve the needs of diamond traders.”

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.”
