“As a leader and innovator in the jewelry and gemstone industry for 25 years, JTV is best positioned to deliver lab-grown diamond jewelry that not only meets, but exceeds our customers’ expectations,” said Tim Matthews, CEO of JTV. “While demand for traditional mined diamonds will remain steady, we believe demand for lab-grown diamond jewelry will increase exponentially and are thrilled that JTV provides customers with a clear and trustworthy source for this exciting new option.”

The diamonds will be sourced from multiple partners across the globe.

“Creating diamonds in a lab is an incredibly complex process that has taken decades to refine,” said Bill Kouns, chief merchandising officer and co-founder of JTV, “but JTV has the expertise to uniquely bring new products to market by utilizing a combination of educational and entertaining story telling.”

JTV’s lab-grown diamond collection “offers affordable fashion designs for everyday wear, as well as classic looks for milestone occasions,” according to the release.

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
