(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.

Liquid Diamonds key offerings revolve around helping diamond buyers, whether in wholesale or retail businesses, to source the right diamonds at the right time at the best possible price. Specifically, the platform’s highlights include:

Reverse Auction – Using a patented technology, suppliers compete for diamond demands to give buyers the best prices.
Data Driven Diamonds – Broader market trends are combined with internal company data to reduce inventory cost, increase turn and liquidity.
White Glove Service – A one stop shop for quality control, consolidated shipments, single window payments and returns.

“We are bringing price discovery to the forefront of the diamond market using a revolutionary patented auction technology,” explained Kashyap Mehta, the company’s CEO. “Liquid Diamonds was established to help jewelry manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers alike to easily trade on a single platform, buying and selling diamonds at fair market value. This process has been convoluted and secretive for too long. The future is about price transparency.”

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.”
