(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.”

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
