The Plumb Club is committed to helping the jewelry industry via innovation and education. Knowledge is essential to survival in an ever-changing business climate. Learning and staying informed lead to continued sales, satisfied customers, and a thriving business.
That’s why we’ve created the Jewelers Resource Center—a platform rich with information on all things jewelry-related. Content is updated on a daily basis to keep you current.
Created and launched in 2022, the Jewelers Resource Center is free and open to the entire jewelry industry. Within its 3D animated world you will find an abundance of easily accessed jewelry industry resources geared toward helping retailers do better business and keep up in a rapidly evolving environment.
Once you have entered the Jewelers Resource Center, the Information Hub at the front entrance is where you can learn more about the Plumb Club and the various areas within the Resource Center. Those wishing to visit one of the Plumb Club’s esteemed member companies can do so right from this spot. You also can take a virtual elevator ride to view the various showrooms.
