History
In 2012, Chief investor Cantor Fitzgerald invested $15 million in Ritani, following the Julius Klein Group selling their stake in the company.[1] In January 2014, Ritani was selected for the Forbes list of America's Most Promising Companies[2] for its unique "clicks and bricks" model that blends online shopping and brick-and-mortar stores.[3]
In June 2014, Ritani announced that the former Blue Nile CEO Diane Irvine had joined the company's board of directors.[4] Ritani's independent jewelry store partners network has over 180 locations across the United States and Canada.[5] Ritani also offers a free in-store preview[6] and has an inventory of over 60,000 diamonds ranging in price from $184 to $1.7 million.[7]
