Press Release: Harout R is proud to announce it is the recent recipient of the Platinum Guild Innovation (PGI) Buyers Choice award in the Fashion Jewelry category at the 2013 JCK Las Vegas show for its “Cupcake” drop earrings. 

Uniquely crafted using a patent-pending setting technique, these award-winning earrings are amongst several pieces in the new “Cupcake” Collection by Harout R.  Distinct in their composition, all pieces in the “Cupcake” Collection feature an innovative diamond setting technique specifically designed to target and attract the next generation of shoppers and secure the independent retailer’s bridal business in their market area. 

This PGI award recognition is a great achievement for Harout R and IDD following their recent partnership announcement at the beginning of April.  The Harout R Collection, exclusively marketed by IDD, is already making quite an impression on independent retailers, thanks to several new developments made by IDD to bring new life to the Harout R brand. 

“The positive response from this partnership is overwhelmingly exciting,” said Alok Mehta, the president and CEO of IDD.  “The innovative essence of the Harout R Bridal and ‘Cupcake’ Collections truly caters to the ‘Gen Y’ shoppers and the ‘up and coming’ bridal buyers by bridging the gap of designer quality and everyday affordability.”
