It’s rolling out new technology.

(Press Release) LAFAYETTE, LA – With the rise of lab-grown diamonds, Stuller continues to implement strict screening processes to ensure quality and integrity.

“The introduction and rise of lab-grown diamonds makes reliability and trust more important than ever,” says Stanley Zale, vice president of diamonds and gemstones. “We started introducing more screening steps through the use of machines like the De Beers Automated Melee Screening Device for stones we bring in-house. Now, not only have we added more technology for even better screening, but we’ve also made that technology available for our customers to use in their stores.”

This year alone, Stuller will add these new and improved screening devices to its newly establish Diamond Lab:

  • The De Beers Automated Melee Screening Device 2, which provides an increased processing capacity of 3,600 diamonds per hour.
  • Three advanced analytical spectrometers – Raman & PL, FTIR, and UV-Vis- NIR.
  • The De Beers’ PhosView, a self-contained screening device.
  • The portable D-Screen machine from HRD Laboratories.
  • The Presidium screener.

“This cutting edge technology coupled with many years of experience has evolved our first ever diamond-screening laboratory — a one-of-a-kind center solely focused on ensuring diamond integrity,” Zale said. “We don’t tolerate undisclosed lab-grown diamonds in our inventory. For added security, we further require our vendors to screen all diamonds for lab-grown. Random samples of stones are also periodically sent out to leading laboratories to check for synthetics.”

And if jewelers are interested in the tools needed to test diamonds in their stores, Stuller offers more than 15 different testing machines in all price ranges.

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
