1 January-February 2010 CounterSketch Studio Revolutionizing custom jewelry

2 C O N T E N T S notes from Matt as we begin an exciting new year and approach the Valentine selling season, the time has never been better to assess your store and inventory in order to discover what works and doesn t for you. You ll see a variety of new product inside, but perhaps the biggest thing inside this issue is the unveiling of our great new development in technology that has the power to radically impact the way you design and fulfill custom jewelry for your customers. We ve been hinting at revolutionary changes for your store, born from our strategic partnership with Gemvision. Now, it s here! We want to introduce you to CounterSketch Studio, the software that makes custom jewelry collaboration at your showcase counter fast and fun. Built with a powerful, 3-D CAD system in the background and an easy-to-use front end user interface, CounterSketch Studio will revolutionize your business. We ve all heard in recent months, from a number of jewelry industry experts, that there s more money in custom design work than in selling out of your showcases. And, we wanted to give you every opportunity to take advantage of what custom design can do for your store. One of the most challenging aspects of custom jewelry is visualization of the design. Many customers just can t imagine the design until it s done and too late to make it perfect. CounterSketch Studio gives you 3-D custom design capability, with the ease of use of Digital Goldsmith and the enhanced design tools of Matrix, so your customers no longer have to imagine the design. They can see it on your screen. Fulfillment is easy, too! Just send your design files on to our Stuller Studio CAM services. We will fulfill it to your desired level of completion and get it back to you in eight working days or less. We hope you take advantage of the capabilities provided by CounterSketch Studio and take custom design in your store to the next level! Until March... matthew g. stuller, sr.

5 The Power of CounterSketch Studio imagine the possibilities Stuller and Gemvision s strategic partnership has yielded the most powerful, easiest-to-use Computer-Aided Design program ever developed for the jewelry industry. CounterSketch Studio and Stuller Studio CAM services are the newest tools to help your custom design business grow. Historically, one of the most challenging aspects of jewelry customization has been visualization. Looking at a jeweler s drawing or CAD blueprint, most people are unable to imagine the finished product. Consequently, they have either been unwilling to take a chance on ordering custom jewelry or, even worse, disappointed in the final result. CounterSketch Studio changes all that with exquisitelydetailed, 3-D renderings, which let customers envision their finished piece of jewelry. Amazing ease-of-use fires enthusiasm by allowing customers to participate with their jeweler in the design process. The CounterSketch Studio library of designs engage customer interest immediately. Taking one design from the CounterSketch library as a starting point, some of the many possible variations are shown below unique jewelry creations your customers will be proud to claim as their own. See page 9 for information about acquiring CounterSketch Studio for your store. JANUARY-FEBRUARY the stuller standard 5

6 Why do I need CounterSketch Studio? Matt Stuller and Jeff High discussing the revolutionary creative potential of CounterSketch Studio for your store. To revolutionize customer participation in their custom jewelry and to make them think you ve got all the answers when it comes to custom. Do you want to be a jewelry hero? Of course you do! Every jeweler wants to be their customer s hero. And, now technology is going to make hero worship even easier with the revolutionary new Counter- Sketch Studio and Stuller Studio CAM Services. What does it really do for my store? First of all, it turns every member of your staff into a potential CounterSketch Studio operator, no CAD experience necessary. How powerful it will be for your staff to sit with your customers and grab a piece of jewelry from the starting point library and customize it the way the customer envisions it, with the customer participating and in just a few minutes. But, isn t this CAD? And really hard to learn how to use all the bells and whistles properly? Yes and no. There is a great CAD program running in the background of this program, but the controls that you work with are oh-so-simple to use. You ll want to spend time on the system playing with the product variations, even when you don t have a customer with you. It gives you: Full 3-D design modeling. Photorealistic rendering. Instant price estimates. Seamless transfer of the CAD files to Stuller for fulfillment. CounterSketch is so easy to use that anyone at the store could take a custom design job from start to finish. 6 the stuller standard JanuarY-FeBruarY 2010

7 We ve never really done custom work because of the skill levels and time required. Will this help us? There is no better time to start increasing your custom work than now. It helps you give your customer what they are looking for in jewelry, right in front of you both on the screen. You probably already know that many of the customers who walk into your store are looking for something different than you have in the case already. Why not give them what they are looking for, close that sale and increase your business, both immediately and in the future when they return for more custom jewelry? And, according to David Geller with Jeweler Profit, custom is where the money is these days in the jewelry store. 2 days training is it really that easy? Absolutely. In fact, many of the jewelers we ve spoken with after the training told us they and their staff members had a good handle on how to work the program after one day. And, many were front of the store staff with little or no design or computer experience. So, what exactly is this CounterSketch Studio? It is a fully 3-D CAD software package with photorealistic rendering and real-time price estimate capabilities. It is very easy to learn and use. It is about easily modifying and truly customizing the flow, line and detail of a design. It is a way to use customer gems and tailor a setting to precisely match the dimensions of your stone. It is about doing all this with your customer and seeing the result instantly. CounterSketch Studio training class at Gemvision. And, what is it not? It isn t a start-from-scratch design tool. All designs begin with a library style, so the process is immediate. It isn t intended to output files to just any CAM equipment. It s allows you to easily transmit files to us for fulfillment. It isn t a typical, build-a-ring, 2-D representation often seen on websites. It isn t intended for consumers to use from home on the internet. The jewelry expert is an integral part of the consumer experience. It isn t static. Product libraries and software features will continue to be updated via the internet. It isn t cut-and-paste customization. Who developed CounterSketch Studio? The technology behind this radical new way to design jewelry, including your customer more fully in the process is brought to you by the strategic alliance of Stuller, Inc. and Gemvision Corp. It is the brainchild of Matt Stuller, CEO, founder and president of Stuller, Inc., and Jeff High, Gemvision founder and president, and the product of the two companies 20-year relationship.

10 Stuller Studio CAM Services, your source for complete fulfillment of your CAD models CAD/CAM Is Now For years, countless store owners, custom designers and bench jewelers have been eyeing CAM/CAM demos at trade shows, often seeing computer-aided design as either a novelty or a mystery. Common reactions included: CAD/CAM capabilities were limited; learning curves were daunting; CAD/CAM wasn t necessary for their business, and the price of admission seemed out of reach. That was then, and this is now. Limited capabilities? Today CAD/CAM is close to limitless. Gemvision s CAD tools are more powerful than ever and design constraints have been overcome with milling and rapid prototyping machines that can create almost anything you can imagine. 1 Too long to learn? With CounterSketch Studio, you can be designing proficiently in a few days. Jewelry CAD software has come of age, enabling even casual computer users to be players in today s new custom-jewelry world. Not necessary? You already have a talented jeweler/designer on staff carving or fabricating pieces the old way why do you need CAD/ CAM? For the same reason authors use computers as well as pen and paper. CAD doesn t replace talent it enables it. Can you do without CAD? For a few more years, probably so. Can you be more profitable close more sales, reduce inventory and increase competitive advantage with CAD? No question about it. And you can do it today. Too expensive? Not anymore. Gemvision s CAD products are exceedingly competitive particularly when you consider the inventory that CounterSketch Studio replaces.want to wait on investing in the CAM end of the process? We created Stuller Studio CAM Services specifically to help with that. CAM Services is your gateway to turnkey, cost effective fulfillment of your CAD designs.

11 getting from file to finished jewelry... When a new request and CAD file is received, it s added to the queue so its progress can be monitored. The CAD file is validated to be sure there will be no production problems, and a cost estimate is sent to the customer. If approved, the file moves to fabrication. A model for the casting mold could be created from photo-cured resin or by computeraided milling. Once cast, the new piece of custom jewelry is polished and set, photographed for our archives, and the finished jewelry is shipped to the delighted customer. approve the quote, we take care of everything with normal turn times of six to eight working days. Pricing: $99 Materials and setting labor for CAM Services jobs are priced essentially the same as other Studio jobs: mountings + gems + setting charges. The CAM process includes a labor charge for review, set-up and building your wax for casting. Pricing starts at $99 for a single-part job. Can I get the mounting only? Studio CAM Services will give you raw castings, semi-finished, polished, or fully set with our stones or yours. Both the website and our team can assist in carefully documenting and handling your stones for setting through Stuller Studio whether for a CAM Services job or regular Studio.

12 B U S I N E S S S O L U T I O N S selling custom in your store Experience helps make the sale; new CounterSketch Studio to be boon to custom work taking a customer s request for a finished piece of custom jewelry from idea to actuality is a job that Green Lake Jewelry Works does very well. Most stores sell largely from the case and custom work is a smaller portion of the total business. Yet, at Green Lake roughly 95% of their jewelry sales are custom pieces. Furthermore, their really unique philosophies about how the business operates have brought the store to this level. These philosophies include the store s professional image, the total customer experience and Jim TuTTle Green Lake JeweLry works seattle, washington providing the store s design and creation teams with the proper tools to design effectively. As a whole, the store s main ambition is to increase their client s Wow factor at every opportunity. The Professional Image When you walk into the store, the first thing you notice is that the entire store has a comfortable artisan feel. The staff is also dressed a little differently, somewhat artsy-quirky, according to owner Jim Tuttle. In our store, if you fit into a typical corporate environment, you re a little too corporate for us. The look we want is approachable, he continues. This approachable look and feel also extends to the website, where many of Green Lake s current client base begin their journey to their personal piece. It s gigantically important to have a professional and artistic website, especially when you are saying, trust me, I know style, Tuttle advises. You have to show that style online and in the store. How your employees dress, what color your walls are, how the store is arranged and how your website looks are all part of the professional opinion your clients form about you. The ring is just an avenue; that they designed it themselves is much more important, he notes. It s the story that keeps clients telling their friends about the experience they had at the jewelry store, and it s what keeps them coming back for more, Jim emphasizes. He says it s free advertising, and that s the best kind! A Typical Design Session By the time clients come into the store, percent of them have already looked on our website. Tuttle says a client s experience usually starts with these questions Have you been in before and, if so, do you have an idea of what you would like to see?, and have you been on our website? Once a client has seen the website, a live piece or just has an idea of what they want, one of our 25 designers will sit at a computer station and begin narrowing down what their dream piece will look like. Our designers show pieces from the cases and from the computer inventory that are similar to what the client is talking about. We generally draw clients more to the computer screen as we re almost certainly going to have hundreds more similar pieces on our website than sitting in the case. We show the web page as an avenue to take them down the custom design route. When working with the client on a custom idea, the process is rarely less than half an hour, and commonly rounds up into The Client Experience If a client has to make a choice between a great experience or a great ring, we would prefer the great experience, says store owner Jim Tuttle. So everything we do from the moment they come in until they leave is about the experience. Green lake Jewelry works - seattle, washington 12 the stuller standard January-FeBruary 2010

13 B U S I N E S S S O L U T I O N S an hour or more. And, by the end of the process, as many as 70% of their clients have paid a 50% deposit for their custom piece of jewelry. Tuttle s staff sends clients better sketches or CAD renderings pretty quickly after the initial discussion, even for clients who don t commit right away. Ultimately, they end up designing a custom piece of jewelry for a large percentage of those as well. All of the custom pieces continue through a process of sketch/ CAD, until the client says, That s it, you re right there! And, Wow wins again. Green Lake encourages clients to come back and see their jewelry in the process, but only about half of them will come back in before pickup. Ten percent of our clients will visit the store as many as five or six times before picking up their finished piece of jewelry. We sell about 95% of our jewelry as custom work. We actually sell very little out of the case. We ve always just gone straight to custom. Creating with Computers Today, most design sessionsare still pencil and paper in front of Jim s clients. Jim Tuttle Matrix is used all day long every day, but not live in front of clients very often, because it is just too complex for that purpose, he continues. Delivery time frames are usually quoted as four to five weeks, depending on the level of complexity in enhancements such as micropavé, filigree, hand engraving and other advanced skillsets. By and large, for those complicated jobs, people are just fine waiting for that part. Some clients want their jobs more quickly, and that s where Jim hopes to incorporate the new CounterSketch Studio into his business. Green lake Jewelry works seattle, washington CounterSketch Studio CounterSketch Studio is just the beginning of our building designs on the computer with the customer present. I am confident that a lot of people will like it as it will help them work through the I like this, but I want it different phase. The Wow factor is going to be great, he emphasizes. We think the CounterSketch Studio paradigm is going to help us deliver for the customer who hears three to six weeks turntime and comments that they didn t plan to design a house! Jim says, and he adds that he thinks it will help them close some of the clients who believe their other process is just too complicated. Being able to show them a virtual rendering in just a few minutes and having it ready for pickup in a couple of weeks will be amazing, Jim says. So far, he s just started training staff, three people so far, in addition to the one who went to the main training with him. I ve already shown it to some of my existing customers, just to get their reactions, he continued. Jim was excitedly telling the customers, This is so cool. Think about how we did it in the past! What a changed world! Countersketch Studio really has potential, for stores like Green Lake and for stores that have never really done custom design with computers, or custom design at all. As for Jim Tuttle, he s still unveiling the potential of CounterSketch Studio for his store. But one thing he knows for sure, custom design on computers will never be the same again. I think for the average store that doesn t do custom work, CounterSketch Studio is going to be a boon. There s just no estimating that Wow factor! The Future of Business The selling experience is the future of business, Jim says, Take Apple they have product online, but they spend millions selling the experience. Combining beauty, design and the experience is important. This is the future of all retail. While quality of goods is important, your business will have to give great experiences along with the customization services you offer. If you are only dealing with price in your store, back up 10 steps; you ve got the wrong approach. The key is that everybody wants to be different, Tuttle stresses. In our store, whether it s a unique piece or a subtle tweak, they all get the great experience. January-FeBruary the stuller standard 13

Colors of 2010 The Pastel Palette GENUINE CHECKERBOARD GREEN QUARTZ AND DIAMOND EARRINGS, 12MM X 8MM, 1 /3 CT TW, 14KT WHITE, 183, 33 $1,175 PER PAIR. As the economy continues to rise and fall, those with an eye toward fashion look for stability. The colors of 2010 are less seasonal than in years past. Sure, we still see pastels and bright colors in the first half of the year, but we also see earth tones, which are often reserved for late summer and fall. With this in mind, the color trends we discuss in this and following issues will concentrate more on their appeal to shoppers than on seasonality. In 2010, nature continues to play a key role in influencing consumer desires. In the coming year, nature and technology align, resulting in eco-thought. Eco-thought is a step beyond ecoconsciousness, as shoppers adopt earth-friendly behavior as the norm as opposed to a behavior to which to aspire. Super heroes, a force that started to form last year, is rising to the forefront in This super hero influence is especially strong with younger shoppers, who, according The Color Association of the United States, perceive themselves as the future of change. The color palettes of 2010 embrace both the light and AQUARELLA GENUINE AMETHYST RING, 16MM X 12MM, 14KT YELLOW, 44 $855. MOUNTING # GENUINE ROSE QUARTZ RING, 14MM X 10MM, 14KT YELLOW/STERLING SILVER, 204 $185. MOUNTING # dark side of the hero. Culture also plays an important role in the coming year. Architectural details and fabrics of faraway lands continue to intrigue shoppers. Pastel Hues of 2010 When it comes to fashion, consumers seek value when shopping for apparel. Quality staple pieces form the basis of their wardrobe. The time is right for jewelry stores to promote the fashion aspect of gemstone designs. Fabulous colored gems and pearls can truly change the look and feel of an outfit, allowing the consumer to dress up or down depending on their mood or occasion. Our first featured color palette is reminiscent of spring blossoms. Dreamy and whimsical, these colors appeal to romantics. Turquoise, bright green, violet and berry-colors offset flesh tones and pale gray hues. In fashion, translucent fabrics and monochromatic floral prints abound. Recommend designs that are rich in detail from open, woven styles to intricate and delicate pieces. Styles that embrace romanticism find appeal when combined with the pastel hues of this palette. The quartz family of gems offers wonderful colors that are as affordable as they are fashionable. Green, Rose and Lemon Quartz along with Amethyst are breathtaking gems that are readily available in bold sizes.

25 FA S H I O N and Cultured Pearls add feminine charm to jewelry designs bringing out the richness of popular fabrics. Opal, Aquamarine and Blue Topaz give apparel a watery, flowing edge that makes any fashion staple sizzle. Helpful Hints Color is the most profitable product category a jewelry store has. With our online catalog of loose gems and finished jewelry, you have color on demand! When combining jewelry with fashion, think in terms of contrasting and complementing. Contrasting colors are those that are opposite each other on the color wheel, whereas complementing colors are next to each other. Those whose complexion is on the cool and rosy side look especially attractive in the pastel colors of this palette. According to Leatrice Eiseman s book, More Alive with Color, this includes those with cool green, blue-black or rosy brown, fair, rose beige or rose pink skin coloring FRESHWATER CULTURED CIRCLÉ PEARL AND GENUINE CHECKERBOARD RHODOLITE GARNET EARRINGS, 11MM-12MM, 14KT YELLOW, 113, 63 $815 PER PAIR. Things You Can Do Today Create a feature case in your store that highlights the easy-going, romantic mood of this pastel palette. Combine color and pearls, engaging the interest of your shoppers. Add a trend section to your website, updating your customers on the latest fashions. Inspire your staff to learn about color.
