(Press Release) NEENAH, WI – The Holojem platform, which uses a holographic rendering and interactive platform to create a 3D augmented reality experience for the customer, is now available to jewelry retailers.

“The Holojem platform was developed as a cutting-edge solution to attract shoppers who crave innovation, creativity and desire to co-create,” said Mark Devereaux, vice president of sales at Jewelers Mutual. “Delivering a jewelry shopping experience that modernizes the way consumers purchase is critical to building the industry’s success for the future.”

After winning the 2016 JCK Think Tank award for best emerging technology, Jewelers Mutual Group is bringing the platform back to JCK this year.

“How do retailers attract millennial customers? Always be helping, not closing. This may not be new advice, but it’s becoming essential as younger shoppers, new technology and the desire to spend on high-end experiences reshape the jewelry industry. This is perfect for jewelers who want a truly immersive shopping experience for their customers,” Devereaux said.

The augmented reality platform is a self-contained unit used to display, educate and share custom designs through its proprietary rendering system. It allows customers to interact with three-dimensional images. Its highlights include:

  • 4Cs Education Module – Exact visual representations of diamonds are magnified 300 times to illuminate their cut, color, clarity and carat. Customers are able to compare in real time using the interactive display.
  • Interactive Create and Share – Customers can view designs they create with jewelers anywhere from their mobile device, and share socially with friends using a portable mobile pyramid.
  • Cloud Storage – All custom jewelry designs are securely stored in a proprietary cloud storage platform and can be shared over the internet or viewed again when the customer returns to the jewelry store.

“The Holojem platform was created to allow jewelers to have more engaging interactions with their customers, and possibly prevent them from carrying excess inventory of raw materials. With the platform, a jeweler can make sure the co-created design matches what a customer had in mind before committing to the production of the piece,” Devereaux said.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
