Charles & Colvard (Morrisville, N.C.), a fine jewelry brand specializing in lab-grown gemstones, will open its first brick-and-mortar showroom.

The 2000-square-foot store will be located at the company’s headquarters campus in Research Triangle Park. It will open on Monday, Oct. 24.

Integrating video technology, the space was designed to educate consumers on the brand’s values.

“We believe with more and more couples interested in the provenance of their jewelry and alternatives to mined gemstones, the need for a space to understand and experience them in person has arrived,” said Don O’Connell, President and CEO of Charles & Colvard, in a statement. “This isn’t just a place for customers to see our product firsthand. This is an opportunity to educate and share the beauty of above-ground, responsibly made jewelry with anyone who is interested.”

In the future, the company plans to use the new space for local businesses to host private and corporate events, and for other functions.

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.”
