(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK — In celebration of Valentine’s Day, the International Gemological Institute (IGI) — the world’s largest independent gemological laboratory — announced a new promotion offering the general public a chance to win an IGI-certified diamond engagement ring. Debuting as “Love is a Mystery, Your Diamond Shouldn’t Be,” the campaign is taking the ambiguity out of gift-giving this season by giving away an engagement ring that has been certified by the top industry experts at IGI.

“Valentine’s Day is deeply rooted in love, and we look forward to sharing in that love with our contest winner,” remarked IGI CEO Roland Lorie. “Engagement rings are one of the most sentimental jewelry items in our industry, and it is of the utmost importance that consumers feel confident that their diamonds are certified and graded accurately, a service IGI provides.”

For 45 years, IGI has instilled confidence in shoppers with its world-class evaluation and grading of fine jewelry, gemstones, and natural and lab-grown diamonds. Consumers worldwide are aware of the importance of the 4 Cs – Color, Clarity, Cut and Carat Weight. With IGI’s total transparency, the Institute now delivers the “Fifth C” — Confidence.

“This campaign comes off the heels of our “Shop with Confidence” giveaway, which reached over 72,000 consumers across the country,” noted IGI North American President Avi Levy. “The demand is clear that shoppers view the Institute as a trustworthy resource for full verification of their fine jewelry purchases. At IGI, we do not take this responsibility lightly and look forward to continuing to be a reliable partner for shoppers across the globe.”

Launching today and concluding on February 16, the giveaway will award one winner a 1 carat diamond engagement ring certified by IGI. Participants must be 18 years or older and reside within the United States.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
