RAPAPORT... Charles & Colvard’s expanded relationship with Warren Buffett’s Helzberg
Diamonds helped boost the moissanite manufacturer’s sales for the second
quarter, it said Thursday.
Net sales at Charles & Colvard increased 1.8% year on
year to $6.6 million, due to higher revenues from alternative channels such as
e-commerce and the 100 Helzberg stores where it has a presence, the brand reported.
In March, the company announced it was doubling the number of Helzberg stores carrying its
diamond-substitute jewelry.
Meanwhile, its online sales for the second quarter jumped
10% to $2.2 million, contrasting with a 2% drop in revenue from its “traditional”
segment — its wholesale, retail and television customers — to $4.4 million.
The company also reduced its losses by 59% to $402,781, it
said.
