(PRESS RELEASE) ATLANTA, GA — The jewelry industry has changed dramatically in the past three decades, and one company has worked to keep pace. “We are always looking for new ways to serve the needs of our retail partners,” shares founder Anish Desai. Now, the company is launching a new line that is the first of its kind, ‘Top 100 Designs’.

‘Top 100 Designs’ provides retailers with the opportunity to offer today’s most popular solitaires, anniversary bands, and stylish bands with no up-front investment. Customers will have the opportunity to try on these pieces from an attractive display that doesn’t have to take up any space in the jeweler’s display cases and then select their metals and gemstones using a modern interactive website that’s branded to match the retailer’s aesthetic.

“This is a game-changer,” shares Tiffany Bayley, owner of Avalon Park Jewelers. She is one of StarGems’ over 2,000 retail partners and an early adopter of the ‘Top 100 Designs’ program. “Now, business owners like me can offer customers these hand-picked offerings from over 100,000 CADs for their clients without investing in the inventory upfront,” she adds.

“Star Gems stands apart from any other manufacturer because we don’t just offer high-quality jewelry to our suppliers – we also offer them innovation,” said Desai. Jewelers interested in becoming a ‘Top 100 Designs’ Retailer can register at the company website, here. The company will be onboarding just twenty new retailers per month and the waiting list is already several months long.

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.”
