NC Jeweler Wins White Pine Contest
White Pine gave away a trip for two to Hawaii during the JCK Las Vegas show this year.

Las Vegas--One exhibitor got creative when thinking about how to generate booth traffic at this year’s JCK show in Las Vegas.
White Pine Trading, a company that buys pre-owned diamonds and jewelry and sells them at auction, automatically entered customers into a raffle for an all-expenses-paid Hawaiian vacation for two for every $25,000 they spent.
Joe and Claudia Lazow of Highlands Fine Art & Estate Jewelry in Highlands, N.C. were the lucky winners.
“We were very surprised and happy to learn that we had won a trip to Hawaii. It’s really great; not only did we get an opportunity to buy fantastic jewelry at great prices, but also win a free trip,” the couple said via a press release.
White Pine launched its fine jewelry component in 2014 and added its fourth global office in Mumbai last year.
