America's Best Jeweler, presented by the National Jeweler Network, is a groundbreaking program daring to establish a benchmark tool for retailers to measure their performance in comparison to the industry. The program facilitates an environment of taking a leadership position that will allow for the betterment of an industry as a whole. It fosters peer-to-peer education to give retailers practical, real-world successful strategies that can be immediately and easily applied to their business. The program is a multi-media platform - print, online, face-to-face, and data reports- inviting jewelry retailers to interact, share and acquire knowledge from peers on how to become a better and more successful retail executive while celebrating the successes of their peers in the major segments of jewelry retail: Couture and independents.

The first ever America's Best Jeweler Retail Benchmarking Symposium and Awards Presentation took place on Saturday, July 26, 2008 at the Westin New York at Times Square in New York City. Winners received their award in a reception attended by their peers and participated in a full day, interactive, real-world education symposium - retailer talking to retailer.

“This was a top notch event with valuable sharing of ideas for all of us. The discussions were so interesting that none of us wanted them to end. I left energized and ready to implement some of the great ideas I heard. National Jeweler & Whitney Sielaff have taken us to a new level with the ABJ program.”
