Stanley Zale, Stuller’s vice president of diamond and gemstones, is leaving the company after 17 years and will become an industry consultant.
Zale and his wife, Claudia, who works at Lee Michaels Fine Jewelry in Lafayette, La., plan to stay active in the business, and will be based out of Chicago, where they’re moving to be closer to their family.
“To have had the privilege to work for Matt Stuller is a big deal,” Zale says. “It’s like having an advanced degree in the jewelry business.”
Zale, who has also worked for Louis Glick, is the grandson of M.B. Zale, founder of Zales jewelry stores. He can be reached on LinkedIn.
