(Press Release) MUMBAI – In its effort to promote the Indian gems and jewelry industry, the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council in association with Diamond Dealer Club is organising the fifth India Diamond Week for Aug. 22-25, 2016, at the Diamond Dealers Club, 580 5th Ave., New York.

The purpose of the event is to create an annual trading platform for the Indian Diamantaires in the U.S. to fortify the business relationship with leading American diamond traders. About 16 Indian diamond manufacturers from India will participate, along with diamond manufacturers from the U.S. The Diamond Dealers Club is the largest diamond trade organization in the United States, and one of the leading diamond exchanges in the world. As in previous years, a networking evening will be organised for further exploring business ideas between the event participants.

“Diamond Week is one of the major meeting point for both Indian and American diamond manufacturers,” said GJEPC Chairman Praveenshankar Pandya. The event “fosters the interests of the diamond traders, thereby bringing together the largest diamond manufacturer and the largest diamond and diamond jewelry consuming nation under one roof.”

Time to Do What You've Always Wanted? Time to Call Wilkerson.

It was time. Teri Allen and her brother, Nick Pavlich, Jr., had been at the helm of Dearborn Jewelers of Plymouth in Plymouth, Mich., for decades. Their father, Nick Pavlich, Sr., had founded the store in 1950, but after so many wonderful years helping families around Michigan celebrate their most important moments, it was time to get some “moments” of their own. Teri says Wilkerson was the logical choice to run their retirement sale. “They’re the only company that specializes in closing jewelry stores,” she says. During the sale, Teri says a highlight was seeing so many generations of customers who wanted to buy “that one last piece of jewelry from us.” Would she recommend Wilkerson? Absolutely. “There is no way that I would have been able to do this by myself.”
