(PRESS RELEASE) LAS VEGAS, NV — RapNet and Tracr announced that RapNet, the world’s largest and most trusted diamond trading network, is now providing rough diamond source information direct from Tracr.

The evolving environment with sanctions and import restrictions within the diamond industry continues to make provenance increasingly important and enhances the need for greater transparency in diamond provenance data. The provenance data provided by participants on the Tracr platform provides RapNet members with increased confidence in the provenance of Tracr-registered diamonds listed on RapNet.

Wes Tucker, Head of Tracr, said: “The ability to allow you to explore digital provenance at scale through leading marketplaces such as RapNet, is a new paradigm, demonstrating how we can deliver enhanced value to the industry by integrating existing channels in new and innovative ways.”

“RapNet is excited to be working with Tracr to bring our members tech-verified source information, traced from the mine to the polished” says Saville Stern, RapNet COO. “This couldn’t come at a better time as the diamond trading community needs the ability to trade diamonds with confidence in the shifting legal and sanctions landscape. As the G7 nations begin implementing tighter provenance requirements, RapNet is at the forefront of ensuring our members can trade diamonds with confidence.”

The cooperation between Tracr and RapNet is an important step forward on the journey towards creating a truly connected diamond industry.

Looking for a Seamless Sale? Call Wilkerson

After almost 60 years in business, Breakiron Jewelers in Erie, Pennsylvania, was closing its doors. And the store’s owner, Linda Breakiron, was ready for it. She had run the store as its sole owner since the beginning of the millennium and was looking forward to a change. Of course, she called Wilkerson. Breakiron talked to other jewelers who had used Wilkerson and was satisfied with their response. “They always had positive feedback,” she recalls. With the sales, marketing and even additional inventory that Wilkerson provided, Breakiron insists she could never have accomplished her going-out-of-business sale without Wilkerson’s help. She’s now ready for the journey ahead, but looking back, she’d be sure to recommend Wilkerson. “They just made the whole process very seamless.”
