Signet Jewelers Ltd. plans to put have more than 80 James Allen displays within its Jared stores before the holiday season.

The company (NYSE: SIG) tested the concept and found that it resulted in “positive sales results and strong traffic gains,” Signet CEO Gina Drosos said in a second-quarter earnings call. The story was first reported by Rapaport News.

“This is a terrific way to create a curated physical presence for James Allen, while maximizing our existing off mall space and staffing in Jared,” Drosos said.

The expansion means the James Allen store-in-store format will be present in one-third of Jared locations.

Signet bought R2Net, owner of online diamond retailer James Allen, in 2017 for $328 million.

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.”
