Designers and retailers are invited to begin listing unique jewelry, watches, and gemstones
Today, Markette Six announces the launch of its online marketplace, a global platform that provides a secure method of buying and selling authenticated fine jewelry, watches, and gemstones. With this launch, industry professionals, such as jewelry designers and retailers, are invited to list their high-quality new and pre-owned pieces at a fair market price, with no listing fees.
The idea for Markette Six was born from a passion for travel and the excitement of discovering one-of-a-kind pieces. The founders, Justin and Heather Knapp, put their extensive experience in tech, online, fashion, and consumer goods industries to build the platform with the highest standards of design integrity, shop-ability, and security. The visually stunning interface emphasizes the unique story and origin of each piece, dramatically improving both the buying and selling process of traditional jewelry purchases. Jewelry and watch designers will benefit from impactful imagery of their pieces, as well as product and designer website featurettes.
“Markette Six meets a need in the market, providing access to unique, one-of-a-kind pieces and ensuring transparency and security for both buyers and sellers from around the globe,” said Justin Knapp, Co-Founder of Markette Six.
Heather Knapp, Co-Founder of Markette Six, continued, “We are striving to create a trustworthy, fair, and simple marketplace that connects buyers and sellers through the shared love of beautifully unique and worldly one-of-a-kind treasures.”
The platform is capable of serving as a primary or secondary storefront for online sales by jewelers and designers, making it an ideal platform to introduce products to new audiences. With a global audience of over 20 countries, Markette Six sellers can expand their customer reach instantaneously upon listing, and are able to select target international markets. In addition, the platform includes intuitive, credible authentication processes and fraud-deterrent features for all users, with each item examined by a Markette Six independent graduate gemologist partner.
“Markette Six’s commitment to accurately representing the inventory they list assures safe and fair transactions where both buyer and seller can feel comfortable and satisfied,” said master gemologist appraiser Mona Miller, GG / FGA / FASA / ICGA, Pacific Gem Lab.
Listing an item is always complimentary on Markette Six and can be managed via mobile device, tablet, or computer. There is no penalty for removing a listing from the site, and validated businesses will earn up to an industry-competitive 85 percent of final sales price for each self-listed item sold. Items sold through the marketplace are packaged in a microfiber bag and high-quality gift box and domestic shipping to the buyer is paid by Markette Six. Returned pieces will be re-authenticated to ensure original integrity so that purchasers and sellers feel confident and at ease while buying and selling unique luxury items.
