Adeler Jewelers, Great Falls, VA

Jorge Adeler built his reputation for creative and exquisite design, showcasing unique stones, exotic pearls and ancient coins, for retail clients in the DC area, as well as for the red carpet. Adeler and his family once owned seven retail locations but in 2001 decided to turn their attention to the flagship store in Great Falls, VA, featuring Adeler’s designs, which are handcrafted on site by gold- and platinumsmiths. In May, Adeler also launched a collection at the Couture show in Las Vegas, marking the debut of his wholesale division.

This Third-Generation Jeweler Was Ready for Retirement. He Called Wilkerson

Retirement is never easy, especially when it means the end to a business that was founded in 1884. But for Laura and Sam Sipe, it was time to put their own needs first. They decided to close J.C. Sipe Jewelers, one of Indianapolis’ most trusted names in fine jewelry, and call Wilkerson. “Laura and I decided the conditions were right,” says Sam. Wilkerson handled every detail in their going-out-of-business sale, from marketing to manning the sales floor. “The main goal was to sell our existing inventory that’s all paid for and turn that into cash for our retirement,” says Sam. “It’s been very, very productive.” Would they recommend Wilkerson to other jewelers who want to enjoy their golden years? Absolutely! “Call Wilkerson,” says Laura. “They can help you achieve your goals so you’ll be able to move into retirement comfortably.”
