Bryce Co. will contact existing M&B customers within the next few days outlining details of the transition process.

Bryce Co. Jewelry has acquired the rights to manufacture M&B jewelry designs. M&B Jewelry, formerly Jerry Bogo Company, closed its doors in December, 2007 after 30 years.

The recently-finalized agreement will ensure an "uninterrupted flow of merchandise" to customers of M&B Jewelry Designs.

Bryan Collins, Bryce Co. President, said, "We are prepared to provide a seamless transition for M&B customers."

Bryce Co. will contact existing M&B customers within the next few days outlining details of the transition process.

Collins said he considered the acquisition to be a good solution for existing M&B customers and a unique opportunity for Bryce Co. to diversify its offering. Bryce, who until now offered exclusively Live jewelry programs, will add M&Bs Alloy program as well as other M&B product lines including promotional items.

A "Live" RTO jewelry program consists of inventory on-hand that is real or "ready-to-rent." Alloy programs use mock-ups, or "Alloy" models of jewelry that require ordering the merchandise after a consumer makes a purchase. Delivery time is usually only one or two days. Alloy programs typically offer a wider selection and require a lower up-front investment. Both methods have proven successful in rent-to-own. Live programs tend to generate more rental agreements and revenue in the long run due to the immediate availability of the product.
