Sterling has over <strong>3600 jewelry stores<\/strong> nationwide. They have them all over the country under <strong>13+ different brand names<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>\nA lot of these names will be very familiar to you (highly commercialized!) You could probably walk into any shopping mall and see at least 2 or 3 of them at any given time.<\/p>\n<p>A local mall near me hosts 4 of their chain stores (and there&#8217;s only 6 jewelers in the mall). <strong>They are: <\/strong>Kay Jewelers, J.B. Robinson Jewelers, Zales and Osterman Jewelers. <\/p>\n<p>\nIt&#8217;s almost shocking to find that many stores all owned by the same company under one roof.<\/p>\n<p><h2>4 out of 6?<\/h2>\n<p>\n<strong>Wow!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The list of <strong>Sterling Inc.<\/strong> (Signet Group in the UK) brand names are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Kay Jewelers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Jared the Galleria of Jewelers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Zales Jewelers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>J.B.

They are <strong>not <\/strong>all the same. <\/p>\n<p>\nCompare corporate jewelers to independent jewelers. You never know, you may find some pretty cool <strong>unique <\/strong>stuff.<\/p>\n<p>\nPlus, it&#8217;s the only way to truly know if you&#8217;re getting the best goods at the best deals.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s<strong> thinking outside of the box.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\nAnd to really compare, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jamesallen.com\/loose-diamonds\/round-cut\/?a_aid=JSDG\">check out the James Allen website<\/a>.
