If the leading services providers were together in one place for anyone to access, that would be a giant leap for jewelers everywhere.
Jewelers Mutual® recognized this dilemma of fragmentation and is seeking to solve it with a flexible technology infrastructure. This advancement is revolutionizing how the jewelry industry operates, disrupts the status quo and provides the opportunity for jewelers to thrive like never before.
The Zing™ platform takes Jewelers Mutual’s core products and services – think business insurance, the JM Shipping Solution™ tool, and JM Care Plan™ products — and ties them in with leaders in other areas.

IDEX’s Guaranteed Diamond Transactions™ service will allow suppliers to share their inventory, including specifications, grading, and pricing information, so that all jewelers have transparent access to inventory and pricing around the globe.
