(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK — Royal Chain Group, a supplier of gold and precious metal jewelry, announced that it has joined the Responsible Jewellery Council. News of the membership comes at an especially significant time for the company as it celebrates its 40th anniversary. 

“This is an important milestone for us, reinforcing our dedication to the core values of trust, respect and transparency, and to ensure that our future generations will thrive,” said Paul Maroof, founder and President of the company. 

Maroof, who started the company in 1978 with his father, believes in investing in the future because his own son, Phillip Gabriel Maroof, remains an integral part of the Royal Chain management.  As part of the younger generation of jewelers and designers, Phillip Maroof has expressed a great interest in this topic, as the company looks to attract younger consumers to its brands and to be a pioneer in leading the effort for greater responsibility.

The Council for Responsible Jewellery Practices was formed in 2005 and later became known as the Responsible Jewellery Council in 2008. Their mission is “To advance responsible ethical, social and environmental practices, which respect human rights, throughout the diamond, gold and platinum group metals jewellery supply chain, from mine to retail.” Vendors and retailers that wish to become a member must first apply and then go through a six-step process that culminates in the awarding of a certificate if approved. RJC members commit to and are independently audited against the RJC Code of Practices, which addresses human rights, labor rights, environmental impact, mining practices, product disclosure and many more important topics in the jewelry supply chain. 

Royal Chain embraces the mission of the RJC, and its membership status demonstrates a continued effort to make sustainability a top corporate priority. Throughout the course of 40 years, the company has been a supporter of several socially responsible initiatives and charitable organizations such as Generation Rescue, Jewelers for Children and Baby2Baby.

Four Decades of Excellence: How Wilkerson Transformed a Jeweler's Retirement into Celebration

After 45 years serving the Milwaukee community, Treiber & Straub Jewelers owner Michael Straub faced a significant life transition. At 75, the veteran jeweler made a personal decision many business owners understand: "I think it's time. I want to enjoy my wife with my grandchildren for the next 10, 15 years." Wilkerson's expertise transformed this major business transition into an extraordinary success. Their comprehensive approach to managing the going-out-of-business sale created unprecedented customer response—with lines forming outside the store and limits on how many shoppers could enter at once due to fire safety regulations. The results exceeded all expectations. "Wilkerson did a phenomenal job," Straub enthuses. "They were there for you through the whole thing, helped you with promoting it, helping you on day-to-day business. I can't speak enough for how well they did." The partnership didn't just facilitate a business closing; it created a celebratory finale to decades of service while allowing Straub to confidently step into his well-earned retirement.
