The holidays are just around the corner, which means you’re going to have customers coming in to seek out gifts for their significant others, their parents, their siblings, their kids, and who knows, maybe even themselves (I LOVE a good ol’ self-gifting experience). If you’re a company or a store that carries watches, chances are you are relatively prepared for the season to come. But in a watch world that is increasingly changing its mind about what is hot and what is not, and in what size or what color, are you genuinely prepa...

Reading Time: 14 minutes Key Takeaways: • The Diamonds and Delta Tour provided industry leaders an end-to-end look at Botswana’s diamond value chain, visiting the Okavango Diamond Company, DTCB, and the Debswana Jwaneng Mine. • Ethical management of natural diamond revenues directly funds social development in Botswana, including free state education, fully covered healthcare, and expanded infrastructure. • Advanced traceability initiatives like Tracr use blockchain, AI, and 3D scanning to create tamper-proof digital passports for stones from discovery to retail showcases. As the owner and publisher of Southern Jewelry News and Jewelry Store Marketers, I usually spend my days immersed in the marketing, media and business sides of the jewelry industry. I’ll be the first to admit: I am by no means a diamond expert. I haven’t spent decades peering through a jeweler’s loupe, grading clarity or evaluating complex cuts. When it comes to the technical, hands-on side o...

Reading Time: 6 minutes Key Takeaways: • Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men highlights the enduring need for men’s social connection and support systems. • Subtle conversation starters, such as Movember mustaches or personal jewelry, allow men to open up about deeper topics naturally. • Retail stores can foster meaningful human connection by creating events that bring people together around shared interests. The names have changed. The need for somebody who gives a damn hasn’t. I hadn’t thought about Of Mice and Men in years. Like most people, I read it in high school, wrote the absolute minimum word count needed for the essay, learned that the rabbits probably represented something important, and filed that information in the same part of my brain where I keep the quadratic formula and the significance of the mitochondria. It’s the powerhouse of the cell! Then, while working on INOX’s partnership with Movember, I started reading more a...

Reading Time: 8 minutes Sponsored Content Key Takeaways: • Treasures Rediscovered builds its estate-buying model around protecting independent jewelers’ customer trust and brand reputation. • The company provides buying expertise, staffing, marketing, and logistics at no cost, operating seamlessly behind the jeweler’s name. • Buying events serve as a strategic tool to introduce, reintroduce, and build lasting relationships with store customers. A buying event can generate traffic. The more important question is what it leaves behind. For an independent jeweler, inviting an outside company into the store to evaluate a customer’s jewelry, watches, coins, and other valuables requires more than floor space.  For those few days, the visiting buyer is also representing the jeweler whose name is on the door. That distinction is at the heart of Treasures Rediscovered, the estate-buying company built by Chad Blackburn and Rick Leppo. “We wa...
