RDI Diamonds Partners With Lavalier
The diamond wholesaler is working with the insurance provider to seamlessly offer personal jewelry insurance to RDI retailers’ clients.
The exclusive collaboration between RDI Diamonds and Lavalier Personal Jewelry Insurance will only be available to RDI’s select retailers.
Rochester, N.Y.—Diamond wholesaler RDI Diamonds has partnered with Lavalier Personal Jewelry Insurance.
Through the collaboration, RDI retailers can introduce their customers to Lavalier personal jewelry insurance, which is used by brands including Kay Jewelers, Zales, and Jared.
The partnership, a wholesale diamond distributor and a personal jewelry insurance provider uniting in a way that benefits the consumer and the retailer, is an industry first, said RDI.
“Lavalier chose RDI Diamonds as a partner because of their forward-thinking mindset and long-standing dedication to supporting their retail partners,” said Lorelle Henry, vice president and sales manager of Berkley Asset Protection, which Lavalier is a product of.
