The Great American Metal Exchange. Novell Design Studio in Rahway, New Jersey, is taking a unique approach to getting its line of entry platinum bridal jewelry into retail stores. Novell has developed what it calls the Great American Metal Exchange (GAME). It will offer its Studio Platinum Collection at a significant discount to qualifying retailers (they must be committed to the bridal business), and will take unwanted platinum, palladium, or gold inventory as total or partial payment. Novell’s goal is to stimulate sales of platinum bridal jewelry.

“Right now, retailers are apathetic about platinum, and we’re hoping to get them excited about the category again,” says Novell CEO Bruce Pucciarello. “Given the close relationship between gold and platinum prices right now, we think the time is right.”

Deadline for sending old inventory to Novell is July 1.

Novell’s GAME has been featured on The Jewelry Weblog, Trans World News, JQIntl.com, The Wedding Ring Blog, Yahoo! News via PRWeb.com, Your Engagement 101 and InStoreMag.com.

Authorized Novell wedding band retailer LarsonJewelers.com, a leading online source of men’s wedding bands, is proud to announce the introduction of their new silver wedding bands line – and just in time for Valentine’s Day! Their new silver wedding bands collection include some of Novell Design Studio‘s best selling styles, and are an affordable precious metal choice for young couples who don’t have a huge budget for their wedding bands, yet would still like bridal jewelry created from material that has intrinsic value.

Novell’s silver wedding bands are specially created with Argentium Silver, which is a non-tarnishing silver metal. Traditionally, silver jewelry’s downside has been that it needed to be cleaned frequently as it tarnished easily due to the fact that it is typically alloyed with copper. The Argentium Silver that Novell uses is alloyed with germanium to avoid this tarnishing problem.
