Vancouver-based Fame Diamonds Inc. recently won the inaugural Canada Mark Jewelry Competition Award organized by Dominion Diamond Corporation. The first competition of its kind ever held, the award was presented to its winner on June 5 during a cocktail reception at the JCK Las Vegas show this year.

Jewelers from across North America and the United Kingdom were welcomed to submit an exclusive ring design showcasing CanadaMark diamonds. Out of 14 finalists selected by Dominion Diamond, Fame Diamonds’ ring design was picked as the favorite by consumers through a public vote held on the CanadaMark website last month.

The winning ring features a 0.70 carat round brilliant cut center diamond accentuated with smaller diamonds set in 18K white gold. Later this month, the ring will be purchased by Dominion Diamond to be awarded to one of the consumer voters at random.

Fame Diamonds Inc. is a direct diamond source and jewelry manufacturer with six locations across Vancouver B.C. Canada.

Retiring? Let Wilkerson Do the Heavy Lifting

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
