Signet Jewelers is now selling lab-grown diamonds through all of its major U.S. brands, Rapaport News reports.

Such diamonds are available at Jared, Zales, James Allen and Kay stores and websites, said David Bouffard, Signet vice president of corporate affairs, according to the news site.

Both fashion and bridal jewelry pieces are being sold. At Jared, loose lab-grown diamonds and setting are available.

Signet states that it accepts mined-diamond jewelry for trade-in but does not accept lab-grown-diamond jewelry.

Signet first got into lab-grown diamonds via James Allen, which began offering the products around May of this year.

James Allen stated at the time: “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.”

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.”
