What are the IJO and RJO, and why does it matter to our customers? We’re proud to be approved vendors for both the Independent Jewelers Organization (IJO) and the Retail Jewelers Organization (RJO) — two respected networks that support independent jewelry retailers across the United States. Independent Jewelers Organization (IJO) The IJO is a member-owned organization made up of independent retail jewelers. Its members participate in group buying opportunities, educational programs, and industry events designed to support profitability, professionalism, and long-term success. Retail Jewelers Organization (RJO) RJO is a cooperative of independent jewelers focused on shared purchasing power, education, and peer collaboration. Members benefit from collective buying programs, educational resources, and opportunities to connect with fellow retailers and vendors. Why this matters: Our work with IJO and RJO members reflects a shared commitment to quality, reliability, and straightforward business practices. Note to IJO and RJO members: We look forward to working with you. Please let us know if you are a member of either organization when placing your order so we can ensure everything is handled appropriately.
