Membership has grown to 20-plus since the organization launched in February.

Stuller, which began offering synthetic diamonds earlier this year, has joined the International Grown Diamond Association, Rapaport writes. The article quotes Richard Garard, secretary-general of the IGDA, who said that the organization’s membership has grown to 20-plus companies and technical experts since its launch in February.

The IGDA, per its website, is a not-for-profit organization that promotes lab-grown diamonds and educates consumers about synthetic diamonds’ qualities and applications. After the group formed, Rapaport’s Avi Krawitz wrote that it could “serve as a wake-up call to the industry.”

Wilkerson Takes the Worry Out of Closing

MSG Jewelers has always treated its customers like family. When owner Mike George decided to retire and close the doors of his St. Louis, Missouri jewelry store, he selected a company to manage his going-out-of-business sale that treats its customers like family, too. That’s why he chose Wilkerson. “Wilkerson was able to do all the things that we needed,” says George. In the end, the bittersweet store closing was so much easier with Wilkerson at the helm. From marketing to pricing to inventory, Wilkerson does it all. “It’s a package deal,” says George.
