RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Nov. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Charles & Colvard, Ltd. (NASDAQ:CTHR), the original and leading worldwide source of created moissanite, today announced the availability of Forever One™ gems and jewelry in additional Helzberg Diamonds® retail stores across the U.S. This retail store expansion provides consumers more opportunities to experience and purchase moissanite gems and jewelry this holiday season.
“As we continue to expand our relationship with Helzberg Diamonds, we’re able to interact with more consumers and further increase exposure for our Forever One moissanite gemstones and finished jewelry,” said Suzanne Miglucci, president and CEO of Charles & Colvard. “We’re excited to be working collaboratively with Helzberg on co-marketing activities and special events to make a meaningful impact this holiday season.”
Helzberg Diamonds, a Berkshire Hathaway company, is a leading fine jewelry retailer. After a century of service, the Helzberg name has come to stand for quality, knowledge and trust. Charles & Colvard and Helzberg Diamonds’ relationship has grown from an exclusive offering of moissanite jewelry on the retailer’s e-commerce website www.helzberg.com, to selling in brick-and-mortar stores.
“This is a valuable investment for our company which allows us to deliver a broad jewelry assortment in most Helzberg Diamonds stores,” continued Miglucci. “Now, shoppers across the country can experience and choose from a stunning selection of moissanite rings, pendants, stud earrings and more – conveniently at a store nearby. This rollout further diversifies our channel portfolio and solidifies the omnichannel experience we want to deliver to consumers.”
Moissanite is the world’s most brilliant gem and is among the hardest minerals on the earth—more durable than sapphire, ruby or emerald. Through more than 20 years of innovation, experts at Charles & Colvard have recreated moissanite in a lab to deliver an artfully crafted and eternally brilliant gemstone. Every Forever One gem comes with a limited lifetime warranty that protects against damage to the stone and any changes in color, clarity or brilliance.
