The two organizations will maintain their independent operations, Jewelers Mutual said, while “taking advantage of the synergies that can be realized immediately.”
Jewellers Loop will retain ownership of the customer relationships and customer data as well as continue to manage all customer interactions.
The price of the acquisition was not disclosed.
