The IDEX Direct free subscription provides registered buyers with access to the diamond search facility on idexonline.com. Retailers and diamond buyers can bid and buy online using the IDEX Diamond Buying and Consolidation Services. Purchasers will also enjoy the authentication benefits of the Guaranteed Diamond Transactions (GDTTM) network.

Buyer benefits:

IDEX Direct allows a retailer or buyer to log in and search for diamonds free of charge, paying a transaction fee only when actually purchasing goods.
IDEX has simplified and improved the buying process, which includes enabling retailers to save on shipping costs by consolidating several diamond purchases from different suppliers.
To further protect purchasers, IDEX, with its Guaranteed Diamond Transactions benefit, promises to authenticate all goods against their grading lab certificates prior to shipping. The service ensures that buyers will get exactly what they ordered.

“We are delighted to roll out the IDEX Direct Trading Network,” says IDEX Group chairman Ehud Cohen. “This new product helps to streamline the online bidding and buying process, as well as consolidate a business’ shipping costs. By guaranteeing the authenticity of the supplied goods, we hope that retailers and diamond buyers will respond positively to our provision of an unprecedented level of transparency, available across the world’s major diamond centers.”

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
