Online diamond retailer James Allen is entering the lab-grown market, Rapaport News reports.

James Allen is now offering both “earth-created” and “lab-created” diamonds on its website.

The company explains: “Lab-created diamonds allow you to maximize your budget, giving up to 30% more size for the same cost, while earth-created diamonds are incredible works of nature and the traditional choice.”

Prices range from a few hundred dollars for smaller diamonds to more than $48,000 for an 4.49-carat emerald-cut diamond.

James Allen states that its lab-grown diamonds will be accompanied by independent laboratory reports.

The lab-grown offerings are a first for Signet, which bought James Allen in 2017.

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.”
