| What is a Master IJO Jeweler?
Hart Jewelers is a member of The
Independent Jewelers Organization (IJO), which offers us extensive buying opportunities, allowing us to bring
the top fashions and best prices to our clients. The organization also allows us to buy directly from the cutters
through their offices in Antwerp, Belgium, the diamond capital of the world.
Through IJO, Hart Jewelers can
buy directly from diamond cutters in Antwerp, Belgium. We will even make the trip overseas to act as your broker
and hand select your diamond from the vast inventory at their disposal.
The Independent Jewelers Organization itself is an organization focused on continuing
education, offering seminars on both Gemology and Industry Trends, which promote consumer protection. IJO's
GIA Title Program is a comprehensive gemological
and business education program available to us.
Members have the opportunity to attend two trade shows a year where our top manufacturers
exhibit the latest fashions in fine jewelry. We also have the opportunity to attend many educational seminars
and to discuss with other members better ways to serve you, our clients. |
