Kassoy Debuts Exclusive Items for Resale

Plainview, New York – December 22nd, 2011 – Kassoy LLC, the world leader in supplies for the jewelry trade, today announced the addition of two product lines: handcrafted heirloom boxes and Town Talk cleaning kits. All are being distributed to the jewelry industry exclusively by Kassoy.

The new line of handcrafted heirloom boxes from Kassoy are the high-quality work of craftsmen with a long tradition in fine woodworking. Fine finishes and protective coatings guarantee the longevity of both the boxes and their contents. Kassoy is initially offering 3 styles: jewelry box, watch box and humidor. The jewelry boxes feature a mirror inside the lid and are secured with a key. The deluxe watch boxes also have a lock to keep watches secure during storage and are made to hold either 6 or 12 watches as well as authenticity documents. Both the jewelry and watch boxes contain a pad infused with anti-tarnish formula. The humidor is lined with cedar to keep humidity contained and features removable inserts to adjust for different types of cigars to be stored.

The Town Talk series features a sleek packaging design and diverse range of products. All Town Talk cleaning items are available for either gold or silver. The “Jewel Sparkle” (a jar of cleaning liquid, brush and basket) is sold in packs of 12 and is available in 2 sizes. The polishing cloths are infused with cleaning agents for easy and long-lasting shine and come in a range of sizes. Town Talk Gold and Silver Care Kits are packaged in attractive and unique tins and include Jewel Sparkle tissues and a polishing cloth.

“These new product lines are the perfect accent to any store,” commented Joanne Slawitsky, President of Kassoy LLC. “Whether used for corporate gift programs for your special clients or sold at the counter, I am confident people will enjoy them as much as we do.”

KASSOY at JCK Las Vegas 2010! Visit Booth #60001

Kassoy Spotlights Revolutionary New Products at JCK Las Vegas

Plainview, New York – May 24, 2010 – Kassoy LLC, the world leader in jewelry supply, today announced several new and exciting products and promotions. The announcement comes in anticipation of The JCK Las Vegas Tradeshow where the following products will be on-hand for live demonstrations and purchase at Kassoy Booth #60001.

Radio Frequency Identification, or “RFID”, is the cutting edge in inventory technology. It allows for faster, more accurate inventory control with minimal physical handling of products and tags. No longer do jewelers need to waste valuable time scanning each piece of their collection. RFID makes conducting an inventory analysis quick and time-efficient. Computerized chips are wirelessly “read” by a wand as it passes over a showcase or jewelry tray. This system has the potential to revolutionize the way jewelers handle their inventory.

As the recycling of precious metals continues to increase, so does Kassoy’s testing inventory. At JCK Las Vegas, Kassoy will be debuting its highly anticipated Precious Metal Analyzers. Specifically designed for the rapid, accurate and non-destructive testing of gold and other precious metals, these energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometers are ideal for all types of jewelry analysis, including gold purity, plating and coating thickness measurement, lead testing and more. Available in two sizes, the units come equipped with superior radiation shielding, plug and play operation and a two-year warranty. Both models are liquid nitrogen (LN2) free, eliminating the costs and hassles associated with LN2 dependent units.

“Here at Kassoy, we pride ourselves on our ability to stay on the technological forefront and provide the most cutting-edge tools and solutions to our customers,” commented Joanne Slawitsky, President. Slawitsky continued, “Each of these exciting items will be front and center at our JCK Las Vegas Booth #60001.”

At JCK Las Vegas, booth 60001, Kassoy technicians will be on hand to answer questions, give demonstrations and provide expert advice. Jeweler’s are invited to stop by to have questions answered, view our new product inventory and enter to win an iPod Nano with any purchase of $50 or more. To request a catalog, call Kassoy toll-free at 1-800-4-KASSOY (1-800-452-7769) or internationally at 516- 942-0560. For more information contact sales@kassoy.com.
