GOLD COAST, Australia, March 20, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Live Platforms, a trailblazer in the online marketplace arena for gemstones, opals, jewelry, and coins, proudly announces a significant achievement in its corporate journey. On March 20th, 2024, Live Platforms will commemorate the sale of its 2 millionth item, signifying a pivotal milestone that underscores the company’s disruptive influence on the conventional gemstone and jewelry landscape.
Since its establishment in 1999, Live Platforms has spearheaded a revolution in the online purchasing experience for gemstones and jewelry. Leveraging the power of the internet and a steadfast commitment to customer-centric innovations, Live Platforms, through its divisions Gem Rock Auctions and Opal Auctions, has facilitated unparalleled access to a diverse array of top-tier, natural gemstones and opals to a global clientele. Furthermore, Jewelry Auctioned provides direct engagement with jewelry artisans, while Coins Auctioned caters to numismatics enthusiasts, solidifying our dedication to serving the varied needs of collectors and consumers worldwide.
Ross Sedawie, COO, expressed, “Our journey to this milestone has been nothing short of extraordinary. Achieving 2 million items sold is a testament to our unwavering pursuit of excellence and our pivotal role in reshaping the future of the opal, gemstone, jewelry, and coin sectors. We take immense pride in our accomplishments and extend our gratitude to our loyal customers, Verified Sellers, and our dedicated team whose collective efforts have made this milestone attainable.”
Despite Live Platforms’ groundbreaking feat of selling 2 million items, an accomplishment that unequivocally establishes our significant presence in the market, the traditional gem and jewelry industries persist in maintaining a certain distance. This hesitancy to recognize our standing within the industry not only reflects a resistance to change but also underscores a broader issue concerning the perception of innovation in domains entrenched in longstanding business norms. Our success challenges the status quo, presenting a stark departure from conventional business paradigms and pushing the boundaries of possibility within the gemstone and jewelry domain. Our journey has encountered skepticism from industry gatekeepers, who appear hesitant to embrace the transformative potential of online commerce, signaling a disconnection between traditional industry conventions and the evolving preferences of global consumers. The era of modest online transactions is now eclipsed by transactions frequently reaching up to $50,000, showcasing the robust demand and confidence in our platforms.
This milestone also stands as a testament to the vision and dedication of Live Platforms’ Founder, Wayne Sedawie. He has established a network of niche marketplaces that connect customers with opal and gemstone miners, jewelry artisans, and numismatic professionals from across the globe. By fostering these global connections with consumers who prioritize craftsmanship, authenticity, and sustainability, Live Platforms has empowered consumers with access and knowledge, enabling them to demand and expect a new standard from the gemstone and jewelry industries.
