Advice from a recently retired jeweler and diamond / gemstone dealer:
If you are 50 or 70 years old, why are you rushing to retire? The Jewelry Business has been your passion for so many years. How much fishing are you planning to do? And after just a few trips to "exotic" countries, they all begin to look alike. Move your clock 20 years back! Haven't you heard? 60 is the new 40! It’s a beautiful time in your life. No rush to go! You have experience and wisdom to be creative. You just need to learn a few new tricks: a few updated catch phrases here, some social media posts there. This is where clients nowadays shop and your "in" to getting your brand back in business. Trust your children; they know what they talking about.
For me personally, the Jewelry and Diamond business is a hobby and I would not trade it for anything in the world. I am simply retiring from the old way of doing business. VDB is the new way of connecting to the younger generation and my new passion. Virtual Diamond Boutique was specially created for the wise and young in this extremely interesting time when knowledge and customer service dictates the rules. Simply having the largest inventory is no longer enough. This is where your expertise and knowledge would be priceless. If you want to succeed, VDB can help. VDB has the tools and solutions. If you would like to learn, I can show you.
That's why I've decided to come out of retirement: to take on a new role and a new business. I want to give back to the community to that has given me so much. With my long standing obligations winding down, I am now available to take on consulting work. Having worked with smaller companies and select individuals in the past, I am experienced in solving problems. If you are a self starter interested in getting into the business or if you are in the business and have encounter a road block, let me advise you on all these things.
