(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK – Liquid Diamonds, a business-to-business diamond sourcing platform for jewelry and diamond businesses, is bringing price transparency and liquidity to diamonds. With the goal of enabling diamond buyers to make quick and easy transactions at fair market value, the company’s state-of-the-art platform also allows suppliers to instantly liquidate their inventory, yielding a win-win for all parties involved.

Founded in 2018 by a triumvirate in the tech world, including Kashyap Mehta, whose family has been an integral part of India’s diamond industry for generations, Mark Molloy, a technologist and inventor, and Chetan Gupta, the company’s Chief Technology Officer, Liquid Diamonds patented reverse auction system (US Patent 7792723) enables wholesale diamond buyers and retail jewelers alike to purchase diamonds to fulfill their orders, while also protecting their margins. Unlike trading platforms such as Rapnet and Idex, Liquid Diamonds ensures diamond buyers achieve the best possible prices from multiple suppliers as they compete for sellers’ business.

She Wanted to Spend More Time with Her Kids. She Called Wilkerson.

Your children are precious. More precious than gold? Absolutely! Just ask Lesley Ann Davis, owner of Lesley Ann Jewels, an independent jewelry store that — until the end of 2023 — had quite a following in Houston, Texas. To spend more time with her four sons, all in high school, she decided to close her store. Luckily, she was familiar with Wilkerson and called them as soon as she knew she wanted to move on to bigger, better and more family-focused things. Was she happy with her decision? Yes, she was. Says Davis, “Any owner looking to make that life change, looking to retire, looking to close, looking for a pause in their career, I would recommend Wilkerson. Hands down!”
