Modern Jeweler, a longstanding jewelry industry trade publication with a legacy spanning over one hundred years, has recently suspended production of its magazine.
Here is the official announcement from Publisher Tim Murphy and Editor-in-Chief Cheryl Kremkow (as posted on Modern Jeweler’s blog):
“After 108 years of serving the jewelry industry, Modern Jeweler is suspending publication. We’d like to thank all the people who worked hard over the years to make every issue worth reading. We’d also like to thank the retailers and manufacturers who shared their time and expertise with our readers each month. We hope to find a buyer who believes in the future of the jewelry industry as much as we do. But even if we don’t and the August issue of Modern Jeweler is truly the last, we are sure that the jewelry industry’s strong community and generosity of spirit will ensure its recovery is swift and its future is bright. We’ll certainly miss being there to cover it.”
Novell Design Studio, an American wedding band manufacturer which specializes in product customization, would like to thank all of those involved with Modern Jeweler for their honest dedication to the jewelry industry at large.
“Whether we were advertising in Modern Jeweler or not, the magazine’s editorial staff always wanted to know what was new with our wedding band company, and they were always helpful in offering coverage for Novell’s latest wedding band products,” comments Novell’s Marketing Director Rick Mulholland. “Many of our most recent designs such as Max Squared wedding bands, wedding bands specially created with palladium, new platinum bridal jewelry, and styles made in Argentium Sterling Silver were first introduced to the jewelry industry through Modern Jeweler. An important jewelry industry icon, Modern Jeweler’s voice will be sorely missed. Hopefully, it's just temporary!”
