(Press Release) LAFAYETTE, LA – Stuller has released the first issue of Beyond The Glass, a publication designed to share useful ideas within the community of jewelry professionals.

“With this publication we wanted to open a window and look at the future of our industry together,” said Maren Rosen, vice president of merchandising. “We want to share the latest trends, statistics about the jewelry industry, and ideas from colleagues about new techniques and tools that they found success with.”

In this first issue, the stories touch on green sourcing, a more pressing issue by the day; the rising importance of fashion for the industry; and ways to get new customers into your store.

“When we meet Stuller customers, we always ask about their experiences with their clients and we have heard so many great stories, that we were compelled to share them with everyone,” said Josh Caffery, managing editor. “That’s how this publication became a reality. In every issue we want to go beyond the glass cases filled with jewelry and into the lives of an everyday jeweler.”

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
