During our interview, Hailey Robbins, the new marketing, events and social media manager at Mervis Diamond Importers, disclosed that she has big ambitions for the company. Something about taking over the world…
What is the best part about the diamond business?
Hailey Robbins: As a whole, diamonds are a pretty uplifting business. It’s adorable to see happy couples come in each day, so excited to be getting married and starting their lives together. It makes me super happy to see how in love people are and how excited they are by our engagement rings and wedding bands. I am definitely a hopeless romantic and that feeds into my romantic, sappy side.
What has been the biggest surprise for you with this new position?
Hailey Robbins: Honestly, when I came to Mervis I knew nothing about jewelry other than what I wore day to day. I thought I knew something about diamonds and I was so wrong. I like them, but everything I have learned since I have come here is amazing! It is also fascinating to see what people like when they come in to the store showrooms and what attracts attention on social media–they are two vastly different things.
Massive stones in colors, dogs wearing engagement rings, bright colors, are all attractive to people on social media-but in the store, they want simple, refined and elegant. Halo style engagement rings, bands with intricate detailing. I think this is likely because diamonds don’t come across well in pictures-neither does intricate detailing.
Are you frustrated by anything about your job?
Hailey Robbins: When I first started at Mervis, I lived in Annapolis, Maryland. When I moved here from North Carolina, traffic was a foreign concept to me. Living 30 miles away from work meant you could arrive in 20 minutes. Here, it took me two hours to get to work and another two hours to get home. Now I live very happily half a mile from Mervis and love my two minute commute, but that was an extremely frustrating part!
Where do you see Mervis Diamond Importers in the next few years?
Hailey Robbins: Taking over the world! Just kidding. Except not really. Mervis Diamond Importers expanding to other countries and becoming the world’s leader in diamonds would be pretty awesome.
