consumer audience and wholesale customers. These products will debut at JCK Las Vegas, the jewelry industry’s leading trade show,
taking place June 1-5, 2018. The company will exhibit in the Bridal section, booth B57004.

priced;

“With the introduction of our expanded moissanite gemstone and fashion jewelry offerings, our partners can bring even more
brilliance to their customers online and in stores,” said Charles & Colvard President and CEO, Suzanne Miglucci. “We believe this
is a great way to connect with our growing millennial audience, and we are thrilled to return to JCK to introduce these beautiful
new products to the market. As the original creators of moissanite, we have more than 20 years of experience cutting and polishing
our gems. It’s through progressive technology and relentless innovation that Charles & Colvard created its Revolutionary Cut™
specifications to maximize the fire and brilliance of these exceptional gemstones.”
Two new gemstone cuts are now available from Charles & Colvard: elongated ovals and cushion hearts & arrows. Both cuts are
available to the trade through distribution partners.
Moissanite by Charles & Colvard® delivers exceptional fire and brilliance at a Revolutionary Value™. This new branded line of
created moissanite is competitively priced and higher quality than other moissanite on the market. The distinction between Charles
& Colvard’s premium brand, Forever One™, and Moissanite by Charles & Colvard® is made through Charles & Colvard’s meticulous
grading standards. Throughout the creation process each gemstone is closely evaluated for clarity and cut to determine if it meets
the criteria of Forever One™ or falls within the specifications of Moissanite by Charles & Colvard®.
By offering new fashion jewelry selections, the Company continues to serve broader audiences. This expanded assortment provides
more trendy styles including stacker rings, earrings, bracelets and personalized necklaces, which were previously a small portion
of the product catalog. By expanding beyond bridal and fine jewelry, Charles & Colvard is able to meet the demand of millennial
consumers directly and through its trade partners.
To further differentiate products and provide customers with style options that express individuality, Charles & Colvard
introduced personalized jewelry. This assortment gives customers the option to personalize pendants and bracelets with names and
initials. All personalized pieces include a bezel set moissanite gem to distinguish them as Charles & Colvard jewelry styles.
