LAFAYETTE, LA – Stuller Inc. has added lab-grown diamonds to its assortment of melee and large diamonds.

“Lab-grown diamonds are optically, visually and chemically identical to natural diamonds,” says Stanley Zale, vice president of diamonds and gemstones, Stuller. “We want to give jewelers every option they need to thrive, and many of our customers already offer these diamonds with great success.”

The lab-grown diamonds, which are grown in the United States, are accompanied by:

A certificate from the Gem Certification and Assurance Lab (GCAL)
A unique inscription on the girdle
A distinctly labeled package

“We do treat these stones differently than our natural inventory,” says Zale. “They are housed in a separate vault, stored and shipped in a distinct, blue acrylic box, and are always handled separately.”

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
