(PRESS RELEASE) Hearts On Fire announced that it has launched a diamond jewelry collaboration with London-based jeweler Stephen Webster. This is the first partnership between these two brands, and the first designer collaboration for Hearts On Fire, whose design team is led by Italian native Ilaria Lanzoni.

The first collection of ‘Hearts On Fire by Stephen Webster’ is called “White Kites” – taking inspiration from magnificent birds of prey. The British designer led the design for this high-end, all diamond collection – a first for Webster – which uses only Hearts On Fire diamonds paired with white and rose gold.

“We are extremely excited to finally share the beautiful results of this design collaboration,” said Caryl Capeci, president of Hearts On Fire. “Today’s consumer is always looking for something new and exciting – and as a rapidly growing, global brand, we wanted to be able to expand our fashion offerings to meet that demand. We truly felt that there was no one better than a world-class designer like Stephen Webster to create fashionable, yet sophisticated Hearts On Fire designs for women from Shanghai, to London to Los Angeles.”

“For the first collaboration between Stephen Webster and Hearts On Fire it was crucial that we used inspiration to create pieces that are instantly recognizable as SW designs while at the same time ensuring the diamonds are the heroes of the collection. We were drawn to the command and grace of the White Kite in action as we felt it to be the perfect inspiration for a collection of jewelry that demonstrates how nature’s perfect combination of lightness and strength can also be feminine and glamorous,” said Stephen Webster, founder and creative director of Stephen Webster Ltd.

The White Kites collection includes diamond collars, sparkling cocktail rings, statement cuffs, chandelier earrings and feminine ear cuffs, as well as bracelets and necklaces. This collection will be available at Hearts On Fire and Stephen Webster retail boutiques worldwide, as well as Neiman Marcus, Saks 5th Avenue and selected fine jewelers.

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.”
