“At the end of the 
day, most people 
really want to work 
for a good brand 
they believe in, 
and they certainly 
want to work 
for owners they 
believe in.”
“If we did business the way 
my grandfather did business, 
we would be like a dinosaur: 
extinct.”
“[Lab-grown diamonds] serve a purpose and a 
function much like silver does. You could never 
sell enough silver jewelry to make up for not 
selling gold and diamonds.” 
KYLE BULLOCK, BULLOCK’S JEWELRY
“While our competition 
has come and gone, 
we’ve stayed the course 
and stayed successful. 
So, what’s our secret? I 
think it’s continuity.”
“People are always going to get 
engaged, people are always 
going to have anniversaries, 
people are always 
going to have 
occasions.”
