White Pine Jewelry Solutions to Host Sales Event
Recycled diamond company White Pine Jewelry Solutions is set to host its second Finished Jewelry and Watch Sales Event at its New York City offices March 17–19.
This three-day spectacular will display diamonds, colored stone jewelry, and antique and estate pieces for buy-now prices to spur a competitive bidding environment among buyers and sellers. The event will also provide guests with watch inventories from manufacturers’ closeouts, returns, and consumers.
“As with our successful premier event last fall, this sale will give bidders the opportunity to acquire competitively valued goods that are not actively promoted in the market at prices that may provide for high margins on resale,” said Michael Lebowitz, White Pine’s director of jewelry, in a press release. “Additionally, in contrast to traditional, time-consuming, single-lot auctions, this model is believed to save time and money for dealers and retailers looking to purchase a sufficient amount of product at one event.”

Gemvision to Retire Revo540CX Milling System
Jewelry technology company Gemvision announced plans to discontinue its Revo540CX milling system in order to deliver more updated tools for jewelry retailers.
Introduced in 2003 as an “ideal turnkey solution for manufacturing jewelers,” the Revo540CX was created as a complement to the Matrix CAD. Gemvision cited its ease-of-use and simple integration as noteworthy benefits for jewelers. However, as Jeff High, the company’s president and Stuller’s chief merchandising officer, explained in a press release, Gemvision seeks to offer its clients optimum value as the industry continues to evolve.
“We will be concentrating Gemvision’s design and development efforts on providing tools and services that create a unique customer experience for retailers around the world,” he said. “This allows jewelers to focus on what that same customer will demand next year, five years from now and beyond.”
