The Independant Jewelers Organization (I.J.O.). is the largest jewelry buying group in the world. With over 800 members throughout the United States, Canada, and Great Britain the I.J.O. boasts annual sales of over 600 million dollars in diamonds, karat gold, precious gemstones, watches, and fine jewelry of every kind. All I.J.O. members have a reputation for elegant jewelry from the finest jewelers in the world.

The Independent Jewelers Organization was founded by William Roberts in 1972. The I.J.O. holds two semi-annual conventions and buying shows each year. Members participate in work shops, team clinics and idea exchange groups. Jewelers continually enhance their professional skills and remain at the forefront of industry trends. The premise is that 800 jewelers working together can do a better job than one jeweler by themselves.

Pugh's Diamond Jewelers has been a Master Jeweler for eight years. I.J.O. jewelers offer the buying power of the largest chain stores while at the same time maintain their independence. This gives you the ability of working with the owner of a store and receiving personal attention and service.

Master I.J.O. Jewelers offer many unique programs. In addition to importing diamonds from Antwerp, Belgium, member stores offer the exclusive I.J.O. Eternal Diamond Guarantee and other special events. To ensure that you get high quality jewelry, always look for an official I.J.O. jeweler near you.
