Sam's Club brings the holiday bling

BENTONVILLE, Ark. Sam’s Club today announced the launch of a new jewelry collection valued at more than $2 million. The collection is available online at samsclub.com with an assortment of complementary pieces also in Clubs nationwide, the company reported.

During the holiday season, Sam's Club is offering exclusively two so-called "Important Jewels," an industry term for diamonds and other high-end jewelry, rarely found outside jewel salons and auction houses. The pieces include an asscher cut diamond ring, valued at $347,368, and square emerald cut drop earrings, priced at $210,256.

The items are currently available for preview online, Sam's Club reported, and will be available for Sam's Club members to purchase on Nov. 8.

“Our team and suppliers tracked down the season’s must-have diamonds, gemstones and pearls,” says Tina Corley, senior diamond buyer for Sam’s Club.  “We’ve taken the best looks from the runway to the red carpet and turned them into real possibilities at Sam’s Club prices for our members.” Corley adds, “More and more people are discovering the quality and value of Sam’s Club jewelry regardless of their budget. It’s not uncommon to save approximately 30% to 50% on general merchandise at Sam’s Club, and that includes jewelry.”
