Description:
De Rigueur Designs is the first jewelry company built for the future. Every aspect of our disruptive business model—from our augmented reality e-commerce platform to our supply chain to of the elimination of a finished goods inventory—incorporates the latest technology, efficiency, and innovation. We expect to generate rapid growth sales and revenue because we have addressed the thorny market problem that has prevented jewelry retailers from moving into the online space – the uncertainty faced by customers as to how jewelry will appear on them and what size to order.
De Rigueur Designs is set to release our own line of 3D printed jewelry using Direct Metal Laser Sintering technology. Unlike the jewelry designs of the past, 3D metal printing technology makes designs that would be impossible to reproduce using traditional jewelry-making methods. Another major advantage 3D printing our jewelry designs is that we eliminate the costs of excess inventory. In fact, we will not hold any inventory l because we will produce each piece on a made-to-order basis, including a unique serial number and customer authored inscription upon check out. Our custom pieces will be available in different durable and lasting metals, such including stainless steel with state-of-the-art PVD plating that never loses its color or shine. Our jewelry is lasting and durable and available in gold and silver finishes at a price affordable for millennials entering the workforce.
