Kassoy releases Jeweler’s Resource newsletter
The supplier has launched the most recent version of its newsletter, offering 16 pages of items across many product categories including gemological tools, bench tools, sales aids and more.

Plainview, N.Y.--Kassoy has launched the most recent version of its Jeweler’s Resource newsletter to highlight its new products for the trade.
The Jeweler’s Resource is released a few times a year, and acts as a supplement to the Kassoy catalog. It is used mainly to introduce new products that have launched since the last catalog release, as well as reduced pricing on select favorites.
The 16-page, tabloid-sized color newsletter includes hundreds of items across several product categories, such as gemological tools, testing and measuring equipment, bench tools, watch tools, sales aids, custom showcases, packaging and display essentials, jewelry tags, labels and more.
Among the new products launched is a 122x real-time autofocusing digital inspection station available in either countertop or bench configurations.
Other additions include a synthetic diamond screener by Presidium, a Testerossa diamond and moissanite tester from Gemoro, and a line of Italian-made display and travel solutions for watches and jewelry.
New bench tools also include a fume extractor, a benchtop polisher and a square ring mandrel from Pepetools.
A PDF version of the newsletter is available now here, but the company said that by Monday they will have a live designated page on the Kassoy website with all of the lower pricing and new products.
Mailing of the print version of the newsletter will begin next week. For more information or to request a print version, contact the company at 800-452-7769 or sales@kassoy.com.
