White Pine Trading Relaunches Buying Service
Diamond trader White Pine Trading has announced that it has expanded its buying services to better meet the needs of independent jewelers. New services include specialized bulk purchasing for events such as store closings and product updates, and an enhanced inventory exchange payout option for independent jewelers.
The new purchasing process, which is available by mail or by an in-store consultation, allows jewelers to liquidate any amount of jewelry at any time for cash pricing or trade-in value. Those jewelers opting for the trade-in option can earn up to 10 percent more in credit towards future purchases from White Pine’s own fine jewelry and watch inventory.
“We work tirelessly to develop offerings that suit our customers’ needs while providing easy solutions to everyday business challenges,” said White Pine president Andrew Brown in a press release. “Expanding our buying service in this manner fills a void for retailers that struggle to find a fair and efficient liquidation partner.”

The new reporting module is intended to glean insight into the purchasing habits of jewelry consumers. “Understanding the specific product categories and price points consumers are looking for in real time provides the best data possible for making critical marketing decisions for the retail jeweler,” said GemFind CEO Alex Fetanat in a press release. “JewelCloud reporting provides the same kind of data [as companies like Google] but the analytics are specific to jewelry consumers and jewelry transactions, which is absolutely the vital ingredient to improving jewelry marketing.”
