PRESS RELEASE - With a novel subscription service for diamonds, Dialog is changing the way
retailers think about sourcing.
Dialog Solutions Inc., the world's first diamond subscription service, has
seen over 300% growth since it's official launch in November 2020, thanks to a rapidly growing demand
from independent jewelery retailers and chain stores. The diamond subscription service is causing
jewelers to shift away from traditional methods of sourcing diamonds and embrace the benefits of a
more efficient and flexible approach to merchandising.
What has become simply known as "Dialog" was previously launched in beta form with a close group of
retailers for testing of its user experience. Since it's official launch, Dialog has seen three times growth
in its active subscription base in the first six months of 2021.
"We founded Dialog to provide a modern alternative to the traditional channels of sourcing loose
diamonds and I believe it is resonating in the market," said Itay Ariel, one of the founders of Dialog.
"Dialog is a simple solution that addresses multiple pressure points with retailers. We have truly been
humbled by the response."
Hales Jewelers, in South Carolina, is an early user of Dialog. "Dialog has made my diamond business
easier and more efficient" says Lucian Lee, president of Hales. "With Dialog, we always have the goods
we need in the showcase, on hand, when our customers walk in the door."
